Description
The Quickie Iris is an aluminum tilt-in-space wheelchair for an adult tilted by a caregiver, built to order by Sunrise Medical.
What does it do and how does it work?
- A curved rocker rotates the seat around the rider's centre of gravity, so the wheelbase stays short and tilting takes little effort.
- Tilt ranges are 55 degrees (-5 to 50, 0 to 55 or 5 to 60) or 40 degrees (-5 to 35, 0 to 40 or 5 to 45); the defaults are 0 to 55 and 5 to 45.
- The caregiver uses dual triggers or a foot pedal; Power Tilt adds an armrest toggle.
- The aluminum frame does not fold; the back folds down and the rear wheels are quick release.
- Weight is 38 lb (17.2 kg) with footrests at 18 x 18 in, or 61 lb (27.7 kg) crash tested with seating; Heavy Duty is 69 lb (31.3 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- An adult up to 300 lb (136 kg), or 400 lb (181 kg) Heavy Duty, tilted by a caregiver through the day.
- Z-finity footrests lower the limit to 165 lb (75 kg).
- One 45 degree range: the Quickie SR45.
Will it fit?
- Seat width and depth 14 to 22 in (36 to 56 cm); 23 and 24 in are HD special orders, and depth adjusts within the frame.
- Seat height 12.5 to 19.5 in (32 to 50 cm), set by wheel and caster; 12.5 in needs 12 in wheels and 4 in casters, not Heavy Duty.
- The minimum turning radius is 28 in (71 cm); the turn-around width is 56 in (142 cm) as crash tested.
- Measure hip width, hip to knee, and knee to heel in shoes.
Using it day to day
- Tilt with the triggers or pedal; only the dealer sets the 0 to 5 degree forward tilt.
- Never push the chair tilted forward, and never tilt the back past parallel to the ground.
- Order a cushion and back support; the seat pan is not pressure relief.
- For transit, face forward with the WC-19 kit over 51 lb (23 kg), not with reverse wheels; remove trays, poles and gear, set the seat to 10 degrees and the back to 30 or less.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- The rider and anything carried must total no more than 300 lb (136 kg), or 400 lb (181 kg) HD.
- Anti-tip tubes are optional, and the frame does not fold.
- Power Tilt is off while charging and has a two-person manual override.
- Warranty: frame for life of the original owner; other Sunrise parts 1 year; Power Tilt 1 year. See the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- Quickie SR45: a single 45 degree tilt range.
- Ki Mobility CR45: tilt from 0 to 45 degrees.
- Tilt-in-space wheelchairs: the full range.
