IRIS Tilt-In-Space Wheelchair 

Custom-Built to Your Specifications

40° or 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology

The ultimate tilt-in-space wheelchair, the QUICKIE IRIS features up to 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space (IRIS) Technology, the broadest range of positioning and caregiver options, numerous adjustments, and one of the lightest weights among tilt-in-space wheelchairs on the market. Intelligent Rotation in Space technology means the seat frame rotates around the rider's center of gravity. This results in a smooth tilting motion that is easy to control and allows for the shortest possible wheelbase for easy maneuverability. The IRIS manual wheelchair features 40° or 55° rotation ranges that can be set to achieve up to 45° or 60° of posterior rotation for superior positioning.

QUICKIE IRIS: From Invention to Perfection

The QUICKIE IRIS employs a unique tilt mechanism with a curved rocker arm, enabling the seat frame to rotate on the base frame while keeping the individual's center of gravity (COG) closely aligned with the chair's center of rotation (COR). This alignment is maintained throughout the tilt cycle, offering several advantages over other tilt systems. The IRIS allows the shortest wheelbase to enhance maneuverability without compromising stability. The alignment of COG and COR reduces the risk of front-loading the casters without sacrificing safety. Additionally, the optimal alignment minimizes the effort required for tilting, promoting smooth and effortless movement. The constant COG alignment helps eliminate issues associated with horizontal shifts in other tilt systems, such as triggers for spasticity, agitation in riders with cognitive issues, and protective extension reactions.

The QUICKIE IRIS features a Standard weight capacity of 300 lbs. and a Heavy Duty weight capacity of 400 lbs.

Power Tilt

The Power Tilt feature puts the rider in charge of their own comfort all day long. With a simple toggle switch conveniently located on the armrest, the rider can effortlessly adjust their body position for maximum comfort, relaxation, and skin protection. Easy to use and designed to enhance their sitting experience, Power Tilt gives more control to the rider. This feature not only improves comfort, but also helps with sitting tolerance, allowing the rider to participate more independently in daily activities and connect better with the world and those around them. Power Tilt is available for the IRIS, IRIS Heavy Duty, and the SR45 models.

Attendant Control

Though the QUICKIE IRIS is effortless to tilt, with the Attendant Control, caregivers can tilt the rider without any manual effort. The control panel, displaying the battery gauge on top, eliminates the guesswork for charging time. Attendant Control is versatile and can be hung anywhere on the chair.

Toggle Switch

The Toggle Switch provides flexibility by being mountable either vertically or horizontally, catering to the rider's preferences for easy reach. Conveniently placed on the toggle switch, the charging port ensures easy access. The Power Tilt feature is also available as a retrofit kit for added convenience.

MONO Backrest System

The MONO Backrest System offers an optional dynamic function, 35° angle adjustment, and forward folding for easy transport. The MONO Backrest System's single post offers limitless seating and positioning capabilities.

• By mounting the backrest to a single central post, the backrest and chair widths may be selected independently
• Infinite backrest height is adjusted with the rider
• Hardware interference is eliminated to allow for infinite adjustment of lateral thoracic supports
• The backrest can achieve two inches of midline backrest offset
• A dynamic back is easily added
• 30° of mechanical recline is available
• A vent or other accessories are easily added

Reverse Configuration for Independent Mobility

Opt for an IRIS with reverse configuration if full tilt for pressure distribution and the ability to self-propel is desired. With a larger wheel in the front, this setup enables the rider to have increased control of the wheel, enhancing self-initiated movement.
