Passion PY-YD-345 Adjustable Dialysis 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 room planning, the figure that matters most is overall length in the position the chair will normally occupy. A chair left in the seated position takes 1,500 mm of floor; the same chair reclined flat takes 1,945 mm, so a bay laid out on the seated figure will be 445 mm short once a patient is treated in the flat or Trendelenburg position. Allow a clear bay width of roughly 1.1 m so staff can reach both sides of the chair, and remember that the 920 mm overall width is measured across the armrests — with the armrests swung back the chair is narrower. Castors are 5 inch twin-wheel with a central-locking brake on both sides, so the chair can be locked from one pedal instead of four. If you are preparing drawings for a new dialysis unit, send us your bay dimensions and we will confirm how many chairs fit and in which configuration.
