The Quickie IRIS SE Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical is a configurable aluminum tilt wheelchair built around Rotation-in-Space. Instead of tipping the seat backward from a fixed point, the seat frame rotates around the rider's center of gravity, so the chair stays balanced and the caregiver tilts with less effort. Choose a 40°, 55°, or 60° tilt range, and set the back angle from -30° to +5° on its own. Seat widths and depths run 14" to 22", and seat-to-floor heights run 12.5" to 19.5" front and rear, so the chair can be set up for foot propulsion, low transfers, or a taller rider. The frame weighs about 38 lbs, and a heavy-duty frame raises capacity to 400 lbs. A transit option, 24 frame colors, and a wide range of legrests, armrests, and JAY seating let your clinician fit the chair to the rider. 300 lb capacity (400 lb heavy-duty frame) · about 38 lbs · aluminum frame · Rotation-in-Space tilt · 40°, 55°, or 60° tilt range · back angle -30° to +5° · seat width 14"–22" · seat depth 14"–22" · front and rear seat-to-floor 12.5"–19.5" · back height 15"–21" or 18"–24" · elevating/articulating legrests and contracture options · transit option · 24 colors · model EIZ4-2 · HCPCS E1161 / E1233.

Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measurements:
- Hip Width:
Use this to figure seat width if it is the widest point. - Widest Point:
Measure the widest area across the lower extremities if different from the hip width. This may influence seat width or arm style. - Chest Width:
Measure the widest point of the thorax just below the armpit. This measurement may influence system width or back width. - Heel to Knee:
Use this for legrest extensions and seat height. - SRP to Knee (Seat Reference Point to Knee):
This will determine the seat depth. - Elbow to SRP (Elbow to Seat Reference Point):
Measure this width with the arm in a 90-degree angle at the elbow and the shoulder in a neutral position. - Shoulder Height:
This will determine the height and the style of the back panel or the start for a custom back. - Head Height:
This will help determine the proper headrest height.
