Visionstar C-190A

Product Code: EOAS-OD-2917

A hundred and eighty degrees of arm, measured as an arc.

The arm swings, it does not just travel. Where the rest of this range gives arm movement in millimetres, the C-190A gives 180° of vertical adjustment — an arc from raised to fully stowed.

The Visionstar C-190A publishes its swing arm adjustment as 180° in the vertical plane. That is worth reading twice, because every other unit in this range gives arm movement as a linear distance — 140 mm, 220 mm, 300 mm, 450 mm. An angular figure describes something different: the arm hinges through a half circle rather than sliding up and down a column.

The practical distinction is where the arm ends up at each extreme. A linear column carries the arm from a low position to a high one, and at both ends it is still in front of the patient occupying the same horizontal space. An arm hinging through 180° travels from fully raised, down through the working position, and on to fully lowered — which means one end of its range puts it genuinely out of the way rather than merely at a different height.

For a refraction that matters at the point the refractor head is finished with. The patient still needs to be seen at the slit lamp, spoken to face to face, or helped out of the chair, and a head parked at the top of a column is present throughout all of it. A head folded through to the bottom of an arc is not.

The tabletop rotates 45°, which pairs with the arm's arc rather than duplicating it: the table angles instruments toward the clinician while the arm handles clearance. The table also lifts 170 mm across a published 650 to 820 mm working height band — 30 mm lower at both ends than the closely related model in this range, which suits a seated clinician working slightly lower.

At 72 kg it matches the lightest unit in this range, and at 1600 mm the lowest, so difficult premises remain accessible. The worktable is 900 × 500 mm, the drawer 530 × 370 × 60 mm and the chair lift 160 mm. Illumination is a 20 W floodlight within a 120 W total on AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz.

The manufacturer's drawing shows a 460 mm chair width and 500 mm depth. Chair loading, backrest angle and the arm's linear reach are not published. Medigear.uk supplies the C-190A with pre-despatch functional inspection and documentation review.

Appointments that continue after the refraction are where an arc-hinged arm earns its place. A refractor head is finished with well before the patient is, and what follows — slit lamp examination, a face-to-face discussion of findings, helping someone out of the chair — all happens in the space the head occupies. An arm that travels up a column is at a different height but the same place; one that folds through 180° is genuinely gone.

Paediatric and anxious patients benefit from the same property. Equipment in front of a patient's face is a source of apprehension in itself, and being able to remove it entirely rather than raise it slightly changes the character of the conversation that follows.

Rooms doing more than refraction suit the pairing of arm and table. The tabletop rotates 45° to angle instruments toward the clinician while the arm handles clearance, so each movement does one job rather than both partially.

Difficult premises remain accessible: at 72 kg this matches the lightest unit in this range and at 1600 mm the lowest, so upper floors, period buildings and rooms with sloping ceilings are all viable.

Three things belong in the decision. The manufacturer gives the angular range but not its start and end positions, so where the arm actually sits when stowed is unstated and should be confirmed if it affects the layout. The arm's linear reach is likewise unpublished, and the angle alone does not determine where the head sits. And clearance for a 180° arc is a different swept volume from a linear column — plan it rather than assume it.

The arm leaves, rather than moves

An arc through 180° carries the refractor head right out of the working space. A linear column moves it to a different height in the same place, which is not the same thing.

The rest of the appointment gets its space back

Slit lamp examination, discussing findings face to face and helping a patient from the chair all happen where the head was. Folding it away entirely returns that space.

Easier for anxious and paediatric patients

Equipment in front of a face is itself a source of apprehension. Removing it completely, rather than raising it slightly, changes the tone of what follows.

Arm and table divide the work

The table's 45° rotation angles instruments toward the clinician while the arm handles clearance — one job each, rather than both doing the same job partially.

Lightest and lowest in the range

Seventy-two kilograms and 1600 mm match the most accessible unit here, so upper floors, period buildings and sloping ceilings stay viable.

A published working height band

Six hundred and fifty to 820 millimetres, with 170 mm of table lift — a real band rather than a travel distance alone, and 30 mm lower than its closest relative here for clinicians who work low.

180° vertical swing arm adjustment

The swing arm adjusts through 180° in the vertical plane, published as an angular range rather than the linear travel used elsewhere in this range.

45° tabletop rotation

The working surface rotates 45°, angling instruments toward the clinician.

170 mm table lifting size

The worktable lifts 170 mm, matching the largest table travel in this range.

650–820 mm working height

The manufacturer's drawing gives a working height band of 650 to 820 mm.

900 × 500 mm worktable

The working surface measures 900 mm wide and 500 mm deep.

530 × 370 × 60 mm drawer

The drawer offers 60 mm of internal depth for a trial lens set.

160 mm chair lift

The chair lifts 160 mm for positioning.

460 × 500 mm chair

The manufacturer's drawing shows a 460 mm chair width and 500 mm depth.

72 kg weight

The unit weighs 72 kg, matching the lightest in this range.

1600 mm overall height

The unit stands 1600 mm high, matching the lowest in this range.

20 W floodlight within 120 W total

Illumination is a 20 W floodlight, with total draw of 120 W.

AC 110V/220V input

The unit accepts AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz; supplied variant and plug configuration confirmed at order.

The Visionstar C-190A publishes its swing arm adjustment as 180° in the vertical plane, where every other unit in this range gives a linear travel in millimetres. That difference in units describes a difference in movement: the arm hinges through an arc rather than sliding up a column, and the consequence is where it ends up. A column moves the refractor head between a low position and a high one, and at both ends it still occupies the space in front of the patient. An arc carries it right through, so one end of the range puts it genuinely clear. That matters at the point the head is finished with and the appointment is not — slit lamp examination, discussing findings, helping someone from the chair all happen in that space, and it is worth more with anxious and paediatric patients than the specification suggests. The 45° tabletop rotation complements rather than duplicates it, and at 72 kg and 1600 mm the unit matches the lightest and lowest here. Three things to confirm: the arc's start and end positions are unstated, the arm's linear reach is unpublished, and a 180° swept volume needs planning rather than assuming. Medigear.uk supplies the C-190A into the UK with pre-despatch functional inspection, documentation review and clearance guidance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Because it describes a hinging movement rather than a sliding one. Every other unit in this range publishes arm travel as a linear distance up a column; 180° describes an arc through the vertical plane, which is a different kind of movement with a different end position.

Where the arm ends up when you have finished with it. A linear column moves the head between a low position and a high one, and at both ends it still occupies the same space in front of the patient. An arc carries it right through to the bottom, which puts it genuinely clear rather than merely elsewhere.

At the point the refractor head is done with. The patient still needs the slit lamp, a face-to-face conversation, or help out of the chair — and a head parked at the top of a column is present through all of it. One folded down through the arc is not.

The manufacturer does not describe the end positions, only the range. A 180° vertical adjustment could be measured from vertical-up to vertical-down, or between other reference points. Ask for the actual start and end positions if the stowed position matters to your layout, since the figure alone does not fix it.

Not published. The angular range is given but not the arm length or the horizontal distance it covers, which together determine where the head actually sits at any angle. Request both if the geometry matters.

It complements rather than duplicates. Forty-five degrees angles instruments toward the clinician; the arm's arc handles getting the refractor head out of the way. Each does one job, which is a tidier division than both doing the same one partially.

Six hundred and fifty to 820 millimetres, with 170 mm of table lift. That is 30 mm lower at both ends than the closely related unit in this range, suiting a clinician who works slightly lower.

Seventy-two kilograms and 1600 mm, matching the lightest and lowest unit in this range. Difficult premises — upper floors, period buildings, rooms with sloping ceilings — remain accessible.

Not published. The drawing shows a 460 mm chair width and 500 mm depth, narrower than most units in this range. Request the rated capacity in writing alongside confirmation of the seat dimensions.

Partly published: a 20 W floodlight within a 120 W total, on AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz. Fuse rating, wire rating and duty classification are absent, so an electrician will need those confirmed before specifying a circuit.

Not specified, though at 72 kg and 1600 mm this is among the most accessible units in the range. Allow clearance for the arm to complete its arc, which is a different swept volume from a linear column and should be planned rather than assumed.

An ophthalmic examination unit is generally classified as Class I under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, or higher where configuration dictates. Manufacturer CE marking is noted where it appears in the product literature; Medigear.uk confirms CE marking, the declaration of conformity and current UKCA status against the shipping batch at quotation rather than asserting it in advance.

Cleaning with an approved agent, and periodic inspection of the arm hinge, table lift, rotation and chair lift for developing play. The hinge carries the refractor head through a half circle repeatedly and is the component doing the most work, so it warrants the closest scheduled attention. Typical warranty is 12 to 24 months against manufacturing defect, confirmed at quotation.
