BRODA Elite Chairs
8
The leg rest is 12 long by 19 inches wide. The removable footrest allows the leg rest to be adjusted to 16, 18, 20 and
22 inches in length.
Net chair weight is approximately 115 pounds. All dimensions are plus/minus 0.5 inch. Most dimensions can be
significantly varied from the above descriptions by adjustments to the chair’s arms, vinyl straps, footrests, or
cushion positioning (see Section 4, Operation and Movement)
Chair Frame
The frame is all steel construction. The seat base, back, side panels, arms, wings, legrest, and footrest are powder-
coated for durability and corrosion resistance.
Adjustments to the seat tilt, back recline, and independent legrest elevation functions are supported by a mechanical
locking device designed to permit controlled movement during the operation of these functions. (See Section 4,
Operation and Movement). No motors or other powered devices are used in the chair.
Casters
The front casters are 5 inch total lock casters with non-marking grey rubber tires and have a 220 lb. weight capacity.
The rear casters are 6 inch directional lock rear casters with non-marking grey rubber tires and have a 330 lb. weight
capacity. The casters require minimal maintenance. Lubrication or maintenance may be required in extreme
conditions such as steam cleaning, pressure washing or autoclaving.
Side Panels and Wings
Swing-away and removable side panels provide lateral support to the resident at their thighs. The arms are height
adjustable to provide the correct armrest height for the resident’s forearms. The arms extend to the front of the seat
to aid the resident during transfers.
Removable wings provide upper body lateral support. Adjustable shoulder bolsters that attach to the wings
accommodate variances in resident shoulder widths and heights.
Cushions
Standard cushions include: Neckrest cushion, Shoulder bolsters, Calf pad, Sole pads, Lower side pads, Upper side
pads, and Seat and Back pads. The 34 ounce healthcare vinyl fabric covering is manufactured to meet the following
requirements: DIN 75 200/ DIN 53 438; MVSS 302, M2;CAL 117, and Wyzenbeck Heavy Duty Abrasion Test.
Removable seat and back pads are covered with an 8 ounce soft vinyl which meets CAN2-162. Pre-shrunk fitted
cotton terri covers are provided for the seat and back pads.
2.3 Shipping and Storage Specifications
BRODA chairs should be shipped and stored in an upright position and not stacked higher than 3 boxes. No other
materials should be shipped or stored on top of a BRODA box. BRODA boxes should not be placed on pallets.
BRODA chairs should be shipped and stored at temperatures between minus 20 degrees Celsius and plus 40 degrees
Celsius. BRODA chairs should not be used until they are between 0 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius.
BRODA chairs should be kept in a clean, dry environment. Do not leave BRODA chairs outdoors as the frame is not
UV protected. Leaving the chairs outdoors could cause the paint to peel.
Upon receipt, we recommend that the shipping carton be immediately examined for damage. Any damage should be
noted on the delivery receipt and a request for inspection by the transportation company should be made. The
shipping carton should be opened immediately and the chair examined for concealed shipping damage. If the chair
appears to be damaged, a concealed damage report should be immediately filed with the transportation company.
