Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC)

The Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is specifically engineered to highly optimize the workflow and patient positioning required for Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) studies, supporting both anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral imaging sequences.

This optimization is achieved through several key design elements:

• Unobstructed Imaging: The backrest is radiolucent and articulates up to a 90-degree upright position, ensuring a clear and unobstructed path for imaging equipment.
• Efficient Repositioning: The chair features an easy-to-operate rotating seat section and a pneumatically assisted backrest, allowing staff to quickly and smoothly adjust the patient between necessary imaging views.
• Streamlined Workflow: The VIC improves case turnaround time by serving as a single platform for patient transport, treatment, procedure, and recovery, enhancing operational throughput.

The Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is specifically engineered to significantly enhance operational throughput and minimize patient transfers during modified barium swallow studies. It streamlines the clinical workflow by supporting transport, treatment, procedure, and recovery on a single platform.

Key features that contribute to superior workflow efficiency include:

• Integrated Patient Management: Using one unit for the entire patient journey drastically improves case turnaround time and reduces the staff effort required for transfers.
• Rapid Positioning: The chair features an easily operated rotating seat section and a pneumatically assisted backrest, allowing for quick and efficient patient adjustment between AP and lateral imaging views.
• Optimal Imaging View: The radiolucent backrest articulates up to a 90-degree upright position, ensuring a clear and unobstructed path for diagnostic imaging.
• Superior Maneuverability: The design includes a shortened base and a four-wheel brake and steer system, making it easy to navigate and securely position the chair in restrictive clinical spaces alongside large imaging equipment.

Yes, the Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is designed with mobility in mind, especially in busy diagnostic suites.

It includes features that ensure easy navigation around large machinery and in restricted areas:

• Shortened Base Design: This design specifically aids in maneuverability within clinical spaces containing large imaging equipment.
• Mobility System: It utilizes 5-inch Easy Rolling Casters and a robust four-wheel brake and steer mechanism, which is conveniently operable from both sides of the unit for precise control.

Yes, the Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) utilizes dual side hydraulic foot pedal controls for efficient and precise height adjustment, allowing clinicians to operate the chair easily from either side. This system improves procedural efficiency and safety.

Key specifications for adjustability include:

• Height Adjustment Range: The chair adjusts from a low of 23.5 inches (60 cm) up to a high of 31.5 inches (80 cm).
• Backrest Control: The radiolucent backrest uses pneumatic assist for smooth adjustment, supporting movement up to 90° upright for optimal AP and lateral imaging views.
• Trendelenburg: The unit also supports a standard Trendelenburg tilt of -10°.

The Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) has two distinct overall lengths, maximizing efficiency for both imaging procedures and patient recovery:

• Chair Position (Upright): The overall length is 41.5 inches (105 cm). This shorter length improves maneuverability in confined radiological and imaging suites.
• Bed Position (Fully Reclined): The overall length extends to 76.5 inches (195 cm). This provides a comprehensive surface for treatment, procedures, and patient recovery.

The Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) supports a maximum patient weight capacity of 325 lbs (147.5 kg).

For optimal stability and patient safety, this capacity requires the weight to be evenly distributed across the surface.

Yes, the Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is specifically designed for quick and precise patient positioning essential for modified barium swallow studies, which require efficient transitions between AP and lateral imaging.

The chair includes specialized features to facilitate rapid adjustment and streamline workflow:

• Rotating Seat Section: An easy-to-operate rotating seat allows staff to quickly pivot the patient between necessary imaging views without needing to reposition the entire unit.
• Pneumatic Backrest Assist: The radiolucent backrest uses pneumatic assist for smooth articulation up to a 90-degree upright (Fowler) position, guaranteeing an unobstructed view for imaging.
• Hydraulic Height Control: Dual-side hydraulic foot pedals provide precise control over the height, which ranges from 23.5 inches (low) to 31.5 inches (high).
• Superior Maneuverability: The chair features a shortened base design and a four-wheel brake and steer system, making navigation easy, even in crowded diagnostic suites with large imaging equipment.

Yes, the Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is available in two configurations: Standard and With Back Extension.

The back extension option is highly beneficial as it allows the chair to fully articulate into a horizontal, supine/bed position. This feature is critical for:

• Comprehensive Patient Management: It enables the chair to support patient transport, procedure, treatment, and recovery on a single unit, streamlining workflow.
• Extended Length: When fully articulated in the bed position, the chair reaches an overall length of 76.5 inches (195 cm).

Yes, the Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is engineered for precise and efficient patient positioning using various adjustment controls. This allows the chair to serve as a versatile platform for patient transport, procedure, treatment, and recovery, streamlining clinical workflow.

Key features for high adjustability include:

• Imaging Optimization: The radiolucent backrest uses pneumatic assist to smoothly articulate up to a 90° upright position (Fowler), ensuring an unobstructed field for AP and lateral imaging.
• Height Adjustment: Dual side hydraulic foot pedal controls manage the height, which ranges from a low of 23.5 inches (60 cm) to a high of 31.5 inches (80 cm).
• Quick Repositioning: The seat section is designed to rotate easily, saving time when shifting the patient between imaging views. The chair also offers a standard -10° Trendelenburg capability.
• Patient Support: A fold-down footrest is included and is height adjustable for comfort and positioning.

The Hausted Video Imaging Chair (VIC) is designed with several features to ensure patient security and stability during imaging and transport:

• Integrated Safety Rails: It includes swing-down, tuck-under rails with padded armrests (12 inches x 22 inches) for essential patient containment and support.
• Secure Mobility System: Stability during procedures is provided by a robust four-wheel brake and steer system, operable from both sides, which locks the 5-inch Easy Rolling Casters securely in place.
• Controlled Adjustments: Height adjustments are stable, controlled via dual side hydraulic foot pedal controls, and the backrest uses a smooth pneumatic assist mechanism.
• High Capacity: The chair supports a maximum patient weight capacity of 325 lbs (147.5 kg) evenly distributed.

For enhanced security during complex procedures, the chair is compatible with accessories such as head, waist, and foot straps, which are sold separately.
