Passion PY-YD-345 Adjustable Blood Collection Chair

How to read these figures. Safe working load (240 kg) is the load the frame, castors and actuators are rated for; maximum patient weight (220 kg) is the heaviest patient we recommend for this chair. Both are quoted because procurement teams check them separately and the two numbers are not interchangeable. Seat width and seat depth drive room planning: at 640 mm across the seat cushion and 920 mm overall, a chair needs a clear bay width of roughly 1.1 m to allow staff to work on both sides. Overall length is quoted in two states because a chair reclined flat occupies 445 mm more floor than a chair in the seated position — dialysis units are usually laid out on the flat figure. Castor specification (5 inch twin-wheel, central-locking brake on both sides) matters for two reasons: the wheel diameter sets how easily the chair crosses thresholds and floor joints, and a central-locking brake locks all four wheels from one pedal instead of four separate brakes. Power supply accepts 100–240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, so a single SKU can ship to North American and European markets without a voltage variant. Backrest, knee rest and seat tilt angles are measured from the horizontal seat plane; the negative backrest figure is the Trendelenburg range used during a hypotensive episode. Integrated weighing scale accuracy is quoted at a 60 kg reference load, with selectable display resolution of 50 g or 100 g.

Outline Drawing and Room Planning

For a donor session the constraint is throughput rather than floor area. In the seated position the chair occupies 1,500 mm of floor; reclining to the donation angle extends it forward, and the flat position — used when a donor feels faint — needs the full 1,945 mm. Plan the gap between chairs around the phlebotomist, not the donor: staff must be able to work on either arm without stepping behind a neighbouring chair. The armrests swing back through -90° to +90°, so a donor can be seated or helped out from the side without moving the chair, which is what keeps turnaround time down between sessions. A 5 inch twin-wheel castor with a central-locking brake on both sides means the chair is immobilised from one pedal rather than four, and released just as quickly.
