USING THE RECLINER
1. Armrest

In the chair position, the armrest is used to rest elbows and upper limbs. Opening the armrest on the
outer side enables puncturing and blood sample collection to be performed in a comfortable position.
z
The patient can open the armrest to the outside or flip it up when getting on or off the recliner.

The armrest moves together with the backrest, and when the backrest goes horizontal the armrest
also goes down.
