Visionstar EC-A

Product Code: EOAS-OD-3066

Two hundred and fifty kilos. Twice what many examination chairs will carry.

Patient size should not decide who gets examined. The EC-A is rated at 250 kg, raises through 650–820 mm on twin lift motors, and is operated from two foot controls.

The Visionstar EC-A is a powered ophthalmic examination chair. The published technical data gives an elevation range of 650–820 mm, a double lift motor arrangement, a maximum loading of 250 kg, a wide-voltage 110–220 V supply at 50 W, a chair weight of 90 kg, and delivery in a wooden crate.

The loading figure is what sets it apart. Many examination chairs are rated between 120 and 180 kg, so 250 kg brings patients within scope who would otherwise be seen in a wheelchair or turned away. That is concrete provision rather than policy. Whether the figure is a static rating or a safe working load in motion is not stated, and is confirmed at order.

Twin lift motors support that capacity. Two actuators share the load rather than one carrying it all, which is the usual approach on higher-rated powered seating.

The photograph shows a padded chair with a shaped headrest, upholstered armrests, a contoured seat and back, and a pale moulded base. Two foot controls on a lead sit at floor level, so the chair can be raised with both hands on the instrument or the patient.

The published data also carries rows that do not describe this chair: a 2000 × 550 mm desktop, a 120° fan curvature over an 1800 mm arc, a moulded desktop material, and a 2200 × 850 × 70 mm packing size. A 70 mm-deep carton cannot hold a 90 kg chair, so these appear to belong to a companion curved desktop. We confirm the chair's own packing dimensions, and whether a desktop is included, before you order.

Upholstery material, recline function, rotation, castor or floor fixing, and control functions are not described. Each is confirmed at order. Medigear.uk supplies the EC-A with pre-despatch functional inspection and documentation review.

Practices serving patients of higher body weight are the clearest fit. UK adult obesity prevalence means most community practices see patients whose weight approaches or exceeds a standard chair's rating, and a 250 kg chair removes the awkward conversation that follows. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers must make reasonable adjustments so disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage, and appropriate seating is one of the most practical adjustments available.

Hospital eye service outpatient clinics benefit from a chair that suits a broad patient population in a room used by many clinicians through the day.

Diabetic eye screening and medical retina clinics see a patient group in which higher body weight is common, so seating capacity is a recurring practical issue rather than an occasional one.

Slit lamp examination benefits from foot operation, since the clinician can adjust the patient's height without letting go of the instrument or the joystick.

Patients with reduced mobility gain from powered elevation, which supports transfers at the lower end of the range and brings them to instrument height without effort.

Longer appointments suit the padded headrest and armrests, which help patients hold a steady position through imaging or extended examination.

Upper-floor rooms need a floor loading check before installation, given the combined weight of chair and patient.

Reclining procedures are outside what the data describes, so practices needing a tilting or reclining chair should confirm before ordering.

Capacity most chairs do not offer

A 250 kg maximum loading brings patients within scope who would be turned away from standard examination seating.

Twin motors behind the rating

Two lift actuators share the load rather than one carrying everything, the usual arrangement on higher-rated powered seating.

Hands stay on the instrument

Two foot controls at floor level let the clinician adjust height without releasing the slit lamp or the patient.

Powered transfers and positioning

Elevation from 650 mm supports transfers, then lifts the patient to instrument height without physical effort from staff.

Support for longer examinations

A shaped headrest and padded armrests help patients hold position through imaging and extended appointments.

A visible commitment to access

Seating that fits a broad patient population is a concrete reasonable adjustment, not a statement of intent.

Wide-voltage supply

A 110–220 V input at 50 W suits UK mains, with rating and plug confirmed before despatch.

Substantial, stable construction

At 90 kg the chair is built to stay where it is set under transfer loads.

Data discrepancies flagged upfront

Rows in the published data that describe a desktop rather than the chair are identified here and resolved before you order.

250 kg maximum loading

The published technical data gives a maximum loading of 250 kg. The definition is confirmed at order.

Double lift motor

Two actuators drive the elevation.

650–820 mm elevation range

The seat rises through 170 mm of powered travel.

Dual foot controls

Two pedals on a lead operate the chair from floor level. Functions are confirmed at order.

Padded headrest

A shaped headrest supports the patient's head during examination.

Upholstered armrests

Armrests on both sides support the arms and assist transfers.

Contoured seat and back

Shaped upholstery supports the patient through longer appointments.

Moulded base

A pale moulded base carries the lift column. Fixing arrangement is confirmed at order.

50 W at 110–220 V

A wide-voltage supply, with UK rating and plug confirmed at quotation.

90 kg chair weight

A two-person delivery, supplied in a wooden crate.

Recline and rotation

Not described in the published data. Confirmed at order.

Upholstery specification

Not stated. Material and approved cleaning agents confirmed at order.

The Visionstar EC-A is a powered ophthalmic examination chair whose defining figure is its 250 kg maximum loading, supported by twin lift motors and operated from two foot controls, with elevation from 650 to 820 mm. For UK community practices, hospital eye services and screening clinics seeing a broad patient population, that capacity turns equitable access into equipment rather than intention. Several things need settling first: how the 250 kg figure is defined, the seat and armrest dimensions, whether the chair reclines, the upholstery specification, and the chair's own packing size, since the published data includes rows describing a separate desktop. Medigear.uk confirms each at quotation, alongside UK voltage and CE and UKCA documentation. Contact the Medigear.uk team for pricing, seat dimensions or configuration advice.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It is the maximum loading given in the manufacturer's technical data. What is not stated is whether it is a static figure or a safe working load with the chair in motion, and whether it includes any accessories. That distinction matters for a chair intended for heavier patients, so we ask for it in writing before you order.

Its rating sits in the range UK suppliers usually describe as bariatric, which commonly starts around 250 kg. Rating alone does not make a chair suitable, though: seat width, armrest spacing and transfer access all matter, and none is published here. We obtain those dimensions so you can match the chair to the patients you see.

The technical data does not mention recline, tilt or rotation, and the photograph shows a fixed back. If you need a reclining chair, for example for minor procedures or for patients who cannot sit upright, ask us before ordering rather than assuming.

Two foot controls on a lead sit at floor level. That leaves both hands free at the slit lamp or with the patient, which is the main practical advantage of foot operation. The exact functions of each pedal are not described and are confirmed at order.

It is the seat height range. At the lower end it supports transfers from a wheelchair or a standing position; at the upper end it brings the patient to instrument height. Whether the range suits your instruments depends on their chinrest heights, which we can check with you.

The technical data includes rows for a 2000 × 550 mm desktop with a 120° fan curvature, which describe a curved worktop rather than the chair. The 2200 × 850 × 70 mm packing size fits a flat desktop, not a 90 kg chair. We confirm whether a desktop is supplied with the chair and obtain the chair's own packing dimensions.

The material is not stated. That matters for a chair wiped between patients, since some coverings degrade under chlorine-based disinfectants. We confirm the upholstery specification and the manufacturer's approved cleaning agents at order.

A 90 kg chair carrying a 250 kg patient concentrates significant weight on a small footprint. For ground-floor rooms on a solid slab this is rarely an issue. For upper floors, particularly in older or converted premises, a structural check is sensible before installation.

The photograph shows a moulded base without visible castors or fixings. We confirm whether the chair is freestanding, floor-fixed, or supplied with levelling feet, since that affects both installation and stability under transfer loads.

The data gives a wide-voltage 110–220 V supply at 50 W, so the chair should suit UK mains, and we confirm the 230 V rating, plug type and fusing before despatch. The foot control leads run across the floor, so plan their route away from where patients and staff walk.

A powered ophthalmic examination chair is generally classified as Class I under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, or higher, use-dependent. Powered patient-support equipment may also be assessed against IEC 60601-1 requirements for medical electrical equipment. The data does not show CE marking, so Medigear.uk confirms CE marking, the declaration of conformity and UKCA status at quotation.

Clean the upholstery with an approved agent, inspect it regularly for splits at the seams, check the foot control leads for damage, and run the chair through its full elevation periodically, listening for any change in the motors. A chair used at the top of its rating deserves a closer service schedule. Typical warranty is 12 to 24 months, confirmed at quotation.
