PY-YD-211 Electric Dialysis Chair
PY-YD-211 is the chair we quote when a unit wants the full range of treatment positions on a two-motor budget. The backrest and the leg rest run on quiet 24 V actuators; the reverse-tilt position for a patient who drops during a session is on a lever under the seat, not on a third motor. Net weight is 63 kg, so one nurse can turn it between sessions, and the seat sits at a fixed 550 mm — low enough that most patients sit down without help.
PY-YD-211 in Aqua Green — 920 mm over the armrests, 63 kg net
At a glance
- 63 kg net weight — the lightest chair in the range
- 2 actuators + 1 gas spring — backrest −12° to 75°, leg rest −80° to 12°, reverse tilt on a manual lever
- 1980 mm flat and 600 mm seat width for taller and heavier patients
- 240 kg safe working load at a fixed 550 mm seat height
Five positions from two motors
The positions below are the ones a dialysis unit actually works in: upright for cannulation, semi-recumbent for a long session, back and knee raised for fistula access, flat if the patient becomes hypotensive, and head-down for the first minutes of an episode. Only the first four need a motor.
What sets the PY-YD-211 apart
1. It is the lightest chair we make. 63 kg against 70 kg for the PY-YD-230 and 102 kg for the PY-YD-345. In a bay where one nurse repositions four chairs between shifts, that is the difference between a chair that goes where it is pushed and one that has to be dragged. Each of the four castors carries its own brake, so the chair is parked by stepping on the wheel beside you.
2. The fixed 550 mm seat height is the trade. No height column means no fifth actuator, no control channel and roughly a quarter of the weight. If your protocol has the nurse raise the patient to working height for cannulation, take the PY-YD-345 (550–800 mm electric). If you work at a fixed height and would rather spend the budget on more stations, the 211 is the right chair.
3. 1980 mm flat is longer than the price suggests. A patient of 185 cm still has their heels on the leg rest rather than hanging over the end, and the 600 mm seat width takes a 240 kg patient with room either side. The leg rest swings to −80°, so it drops clear when the patient stands.
4. The armrest holds the angle you release it at. The single gas spring sets both armrests between 180 and 245 mm above the seat. For fistula access the arm needs to sit at one height and stay there while the needles go in; a fixed armrest makes the patient compensate with their shoulder instead.
Colourways
Five standard upholstery colours. Other colours are available for OEM orders.
211, 230 or 345?
All three chairs share the 600 mm seat, the 240 kg working load and the −12°/75° backrest. The decision is about armrests, weight and whether you need electric height.

FAQ
Does the PY-YD-211 have a height adjustment?
No. The seat is fixed at 550 mm. The backrest and the leg rest are powered and the reverse tilt is on a manual lever. If the nurse has to raise the patient to working height, quote the PY-YD-345, which runs 550–800 mm on its own actuator.
What is the difference between the 211 and the 230?
The frame, the 550 mm seat height and the two motors are the same. The PY-YD-230 adds a second gas spring so the left and right armrests are set independently, and it has a double-layer armrest whose upper section opens to 90°. It weighs 7 kg more as a result.
Can it be used for blood collection or infusion?
Yes. The backrest reaches 75° and the armrest sits at fistula height, so the chair works for a donation or a phlebotomy session as well as for dialysis. We also list it as a blood collection chair for units that need one chair to do both.
Is the 240 kg load a tested figure?
It is the safe working load quoted in the type test for the chair, not a static breaking load. Patients above roughly 200 kg should be assessed for the transfer as well as the chair.
Which colours can we order, and can you match ours?
Standard colours are Aqua Green, Serene Blue, Blue, Green and Lemon Yellow — the five shown above. For OEM projects we match a supplied swatch, subject to a minimum order quantity.
Is the chair certified?
The PY-YD-211 carries CE marking and is manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems. The current certificate pack goes out with every quotation.
