The Convertible® I-1000 I-Series Positioning and Transfer Chair is an electric positioning chair with motorized positioning control that can be adjusted to various positions. The device is used to alter postural positions and to provide a means of transferring a patient horizontally from a height adjustable bed or trolley, to the chair and vice versa. The chair can then be transformed from a supine position into the sitting position without ever lifting the patient. This device may be used on a wide range of patients, including adults and children up to 1000 pounds.

The Convertible® Positioning and Transfer Chair construction is made of steel tubular components, on to which is fitted foam filled upholstery. The mechanism allows the Convertible® Positioning and Transfor Chair to transform from the horizontal supine position into a chair, which can then be tilted. This is accomplished through the hand-held controller, which in turn operates two DC linear actuators. The first DC actuator allows the Chair and patient profile to change from a sitting position to a horizontal or supine position suitable for transferring. The second DC linear actuator allows the I-1000 to be independently inclined to the rear (Tilt-in-Space). A hand-held push button controller is used to engage actuator motion and vary the I-1000's position. The electric system is composed of a 24-volt rechargeable battery, an external battery charger, and a control unit. Recharging of the battery is accomplished via the external battery charger. The Convertible® Positioning & Transfer Chair is ideal for moving those patients who are unable to move themselves. The Convertible® Positioning and Transfer Chair have been specifically designed to provide a means of transferring a patient horizontally from a height adjustable bed or trolley, to the chair and vice versa. The patient will always be supported either on the bed and/or the chair and is never suspended. To achieve this, The Barton® Positioning and Transfer System (PTS®) must be used.
