Sintang mt Katia-B10

Product Code: HFAF-EAPF-4394

Turn the patient towards the light, then lock the top in place.

When work moves to the patient's other side, the top swivels and locks while the base stays put. A foot pump sets the seat between 610 and 770 mm, and the backrest and legrest adjust by hand with gas assistance.

Built by Sintang, the Katia-B10 is a manual treatment chair aimed at dermatology and aesthetic medicine rooms. A foot-operated hydraulic pump sets the seat between 610 and 770 mm (24 to 30.5 in); pneumatic adjustment moves the backrest from flat to 80°, lowers the legrest to 70°, and rotates and locks the top. Sintang gives a working weight of 200 kg (440 lb). It has no motors or whole-top tilt; the legrest is one piece, and the photographed base stands on feet with no castors.

With no electrical parts, the chair sits outside electrical safety testing and the WEEE Regulations, and a power cut changes nothing about how it works. PUWER still applies, so the hydraulic column, gas springs, rotation lock and armrest fixings need regular checks. The paperwork question is status. Sintang catalogues the Katia series among its spa beds and facial chairs, so ask whether a medical device declaration covers the Katia-B10 before it goes into clinical use.

Both side armrests fold and lift off. Sintang guarantees the PU leather for five years against water and oil, and it covers 82 mm of high-density foam across three sections: 62, 51, and 71 cm. The drawing shows an oval face opening at the head end, and the neck pillow lifts away. The chair weighs 44.2 kg and is photographed in cream on a chrome column and a four-armed grey base with a foot pedal.

The unit measures 1840 mm long and 620 mm wide, or 850 mm across the armrests. It is available to buyers in more than 80 countries through Medigear.uk, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead-time information.

The Katia-B10 suits dermatology, aesthetic medicine, and minor-procedure rooms where patients walk in, sit back, and stay put for injections, skin treatments, or dressings while the clinician works seated. Turning the top lets the clinician switch sides without walking around, and running without mains power suits rooms and satellite sites without a spare socket.

Clinician posture is the main reason chair height matters. A 2018 meta-analysis of 21 studies covering 5,828 surgeons and interventionalists put the pooled prevalence of degenerative cervical spine disease at 17%, degenerative lumbar spine disease at 19% and rotator cuff problems at 18% (Epstein and colleagues, JAMA Surgery). Of those affected, 12% needed leave, restricted practice or early retirement. Among Mohs surgeons surveyed in 2010, 90% reported musculoskeletal symptoms, most often in the neck, lower back and shoulders (Liang and colleagues, 2012). Both rest largely on self-reported surveys, and the review's authors called for an ergonomics programme still to be developed and validated. Neither source tested an intervention, so the case for height adjustment rests on posture, and this chair's 610 to 770 mm range favours a clinician on a stool.

In the UK, PUWER 1998 and, in England, CQC Regulation 15 require the chair to be suitable and properly maintained, and because it has no electrical parts, upkeep is mechanical. HTM 05-03 Part C brings its upholstery into a hospital's fire strategy. NHS procurement routes usually ask for the working weight, fire test evidence, and the medical device declaration, and equivalent public procurement routes ask the same. The manufacturer issues the conformity documentation those procurement routes require, and the enquiry team shares it.

Nothing to plug in or test

No motor, cable or control box means no place on the electrical testing schedule and no lead running across the treatment room floor.

Unaffected by a power cut

The pump, gas springs and lock need no power, so a mains failure leaves the chair working exactly as before.

Patient turned, base left alone.

Rotating the top brings the patient's other side to the clinician, and the lock holds that position for the procedure.

Arms that fold out of the way

Each armrest folds or lifts off, opening the side of the seat for work on the forearm, hand, or side of the face.

Face-down work at the head end

With the neck pillow off, the oval opening lets a patient lie prone and breathe while the back or shoulders are treated.

Padding for longer appointments

82 mm of high-density foam sits under the cover, helping a patient stay still during a long skin procedure.

A cover with a stated guarantee

Sintang puts a five-year guarantee on the PU's water and oil resistance, with the terms set out in the quotation.

A seated working height

The 610 to 770 mm range brings a reclined patient close to the level of a clinician seated on a stool.

A published 200 kg working weight

Sintang's 200 kg (440 lb) figure lets procurement check the chair against its heaviest expected patients.

Hydraulic seat height

A foot-pumped hydraulic column raises the seat from 610 to 770 mm (24 to 30.5 in).

Pump pedal

In the photographs, the pedal sits on one side of the four-armed base.

Pneumatic backrest, flat to 80°

With gas assistance, the backrest moves from flat to 80°, close to sitting upright.

Pneumatic legrest, level to 70°

The legrest lowers in one section from level with the seat to 70° below it.

Rotatable, lockable top

The whole top turns on the column and locks, with the rotation range given in the user manual.

Foldable armrests

Both side armrests fold and are removable. When fitted, they extend the width to 850 mm.

Removable neck pillow

A separate pillow sits at the head end and lifts away for cleaning or face-down work.

Face opening

The drawing shows an oval opening in the head end of the backrest.

PU leather

Sintang describes the cover as water- and oil-resistant PU leather, guaranteed for five years.

High-density foam

Foam 82 mm deep sits under the cover, given as 3.3 in on the imperial side.

Three sections

On the drawing, a 62 cm legrest, 51 cm seat and 71 cm backrest make up the 184 cm length.

Width

The top measures 62 cm across (4.5 in.).

Working weight

The sheet gives 200 kg (440 lb).

Base and mass

A chrome hydraulic column rises from a grey four-armed base on small feet, with no castors in the photographs. The chair weighs 44.2 kg.

Upholstery colour

Cream is the only colour photographed, so ask the enquiry team for the colour options in Sintang's written configuration.

Package

The carton measures 1250 × 660 × 760 mm (49 × 26 × 30 in), weighs 49.2 kg gross, and is about 0.63 m³.

The Katia-B10 suits dermatology, aesthetic medicine and minor-procedure rooms where ambulant patients sit or lie for work done by a seated clinician, especially where sockets are scarce, or the electrical testing list is already long. It trades motors for manual effort: a foot pump, gas-assisted rests and a turning top, with nothing to plug in. Look elsewhere for powered or saved positions, head-down tilt, castors, standing work above 770 mm, low transfers or patients above 200 kg. Settle three things first: whether a medical device declaration covers it, which disinfectants the PU tolerates and how the 200 kg applies with the top turned and reclined. Medigear.uk lists the Katia-B10 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the enquiry team for the BS 7176 fire test reports, the PU guarantee terms and the declaration of conformity before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

No. The height comes from a foot-pumped hydraulic column, and the backrest and legrest adjust pneumatically, so nothing plugs in or needs testing. In the UK, PUWER 1998 still requires the employer to keep it in good repair, which here means checking the column for oil leaks, the gas springs for holding power and the rotation lock for play. Height adjustment alone does not make it lifting equipment under HSE's reading of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), which spares it the six-monthly thorough examination.

The Katia-B10 is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, or higher depending on use, as stated on the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares. Sintang catalogues the Katia series with its spa beds and facial chairs, so check that the declaration covers medical use before the chair enters a clinical room. A clinic that needs a medical device for its procedures should see that declaration before ordering.

Pumping the pedal raises the hydraulic column and lifts the seat from 610 mm to 770 mm; the photographs show the pedal on one side of the base. The manufacturer's user manual, shared by the enquiry team, explains how to lower the seat and how many strokes it takes to reach full height. For mounting and dismounting, run the seat right down first.

At its lowest, the seat is 610 mm from the floor, and British adults' knee height when seated ranges from about 355 to 490 mm, so getting on means perching on the front edge first. Lock the top before anyone climbs on, because a top that turns under a half-seated patient can tip them off balance. Before ordering, establish how many patients on your lists would need a step or a steadying hand.

Fully raised, the seat reaches 770 mm, which is 160 to 410 mm below the standing elbow height of British adults (930 to 1,180 mm). A clinician standing over a reclined patient is likely to stoop, so the Katia-B10 suits work done from a stool. Allow for a clinician stool if longer procedures are routine.

Both are pneumatic, meaning gas-assisted, and set by hand: the backrest from flat to 80° and the legrest from level down to 70°. The effort needed depends partly on the patient's weight, and the user manual explains how to release and set each one. There is no head-down tilt, so a patient who feels faint can be laid flat but not tipped.

Sintang lists the top as rotatable and lockable, and the user manual gives the rotation range and how the lock is applied. Keep it locked whenever a patient is getting on or off, or has a needle in. Check the lock for play at each maintenance inspection.

Sintang calls the 200 kg (440 lb) figure a working weight. A single column on a four-armed base carries it, so ask in writing how the figure applies with the patient reclined, the legrest loaded, or the top turned toward one arm of the base. The enquiry team shares the manufacturer's answer with the quotation.

Sintang states that the PU leather is guaranteed for five years to resist water and oil, and the enquiry team sets out the guarantee terms in the quotation. Resistance to water and oil says nothing about alcohol or chlorine-based disinfectants, so ask for the manufacturer's list of compatible products as well. HBN 00-09 requires seating in clinical areas to have an impermeable cover that tolerates the cleaning agents used.

NHS fire safety guidance in England, HTM 05-03 Part C, classifies hospitals as medium risk and points upholstered seating to BS 7176. Ask for test reports at that level for the PU and foam actually supplied, since reports for a different cover grade do not transfer. Outside hospitals, the setting's own fire risk assessment decides the level.

One carton (1250 × 660 × 760 mm) holds the chair, weighing 49.2 kg gross and 44.2 kg unpacked, so it's a two-person lift or a trolley job. The carton is shorter than the chair lying flat, so ask the enquiry team how it is packed and what on-site assembly it needs. Medigear. UK can arrange delivery, installation, and a short handover to staff.

Patients who cannot perch on a 610 mm seat need a lower start, and US federal standards for accessible diagnostic equipment set a 17 in (432 mm) low transfer height that this chair cannot reach. Services needing powered movement, saved positions, head-down tilt, casters,s or lithotomy supports need another specification, as does anyone above 200 kg. Clinicians who stand through long procedures need a top that rises past 770 mm.
