Iris Category 5 Tilt Wheelchair by Sunrise Quickie

The Quickie Iris Tilt Wheelchair is Sunrise Medical's manual tilt-in-space chair for adults who are limited to sitting and need their position changed through the day. A curved rocker lets the seat rotate around the rider's centre of gravity, so the wheelbase stays short and the caregiver tilts the chair with little effort. Each Iris is set to a 40 or 55 degree tilt range, reaching as far as 60 degrees back, and Sunrise offers an optional Power Tilt that the rider works from a switch on the armrest. Every chair is built to order, 14" to 22" wide and deep.

What is included?

Every Iris is built to the measurements and choices on Sunrise Medical Canada's order form. The base chair has the aluminum frame in your width and depth, the tilt mechanism with dual hand triggers or a foot release, back posts, swing-in/out footrests, a choice of armrests, rear wheels, casters and push-to-lock wheel locks, and the WC-19 transit kit can be added. The seat pan, rear anti-tips, Power Tilt, the seat cushion, the back support and a headrest are separate lines on the same form, so your quote lists every part before anything is ordered.

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?
