Quickie IRIS

VAT Declaration Applicable:

Quickie has developed a dramatic new approach to tilting in space. It's called the Quickie® IRIS™ (Intelligent Rotation in Space). Unlike systems that incorporate a fixed pivot-point, dual pivot-point, or linear element, the Quickie® IRIS™' rotational design is based on the idea of rotating the seat-frame around a user's centre-of-gravity. This, combined with up to 60° of posterior rotation and hi-resolution adjustment, provides the ultimate in control, manoeuvrability, and stability.

Cable Free - Cables always getting in the way? Not a problem with the new Quickie IRIS foot release tilt actuator. It's easy to operate, clean as a whistle and tangle free. It's also available at no additional charge.

Rotation-In-Space - The Quickie® IRIS™ utilizes a rotational tilt-system. Instead of tilting the seat frame from an outside pivot-point the Quickie® IRIS™ actually rotates the seat frame around the users centre-of-gravity. This rotational system provides the shortest possible wheelbase without compromising stability. It also insures a smooth and controlled rotation.

The 60° & 40° Tilt Advantage - The Quickie® IRIS™ features three tilt ranges: -5° to 50°, 0° to 55°, and 5° to 60° on the standard 55° seat frame, and -5° to 35°, 0° to 40°, and 5° to 45° on the 40° seat frame. As the seat frame rotates past 45°, a significant amount of pressure transfers from the seat to the back. By providing up to 60° of tilt, the IRIS insures that the majority of pressure is removed from the ischial tuberosities. For individuals who only need positioning relief, the 40° tilt frame is ideal.

Low Seat-To-Floor Height - The Quickie Iris now features a 12 1/2" front seat-to-floor height. Using a drop seat, this distance can be lowered to an even lower 10 ½" seat-to-floor height. Low seat-to-floor height is critical for users who use foot propulsion.

The recently improved Quickie IRIS shed 6 lbs in overall weight. An 18" x 18" IRIS with 70° hangers now weighs a slim 39 lbs. Compared to the rotation-in-space competition, the IRIS is a true back saver. Leg hangers are also available in 80 or 90 degree angles.

The Quickie® IRIS™ features a special angle-adjustable stroller handle that quickly adjusts to a variety of caregiver heights.

A patented back post bracket allows repositioning of the back post seat-depth without removing the attaching hardware.

Specialty options, such as a reclining backrest, vent-and-battery tray, and one-arm drive are all available as "on-chair" options.

A tilt-angle indicator and a set of tilt-stops come with every chair to provide a precise tilt range and tilt angle-setting.
