Mobile clinical recliner for observation, treatment, and patient transport

The Novum RC301 Medical Transporter Recliner combines adjustable patient positioning with the mobility and durability required for healthcare environments.

The selected configuration includes a fold-away side table, caregiver push bar, and 5-inch casters, making it suitable for patient observation, outpatient treatment, recovery, infusion, examination, and controlled movement within a healthcare facility.

The RC301 supports patients weighing up to 500 lb and features an all-steel, powder-coated frame designed for regular clinical use.

Infinite recline with Trendelenburg positioning

The recliner provides infinite positioning from an upright seated position through a fully reclined Trendelenburg position.

This range allows clinical staff to adjust the chair for patient comfort, observation, treatment, recovery, and emergency positioning according to facility procedures.

The RC301 family is available with manual or powered reclining controls. The final control configuration is confirmed during quotation.

Fold-away side table

The included fold-away side table provides a convenient surface for meals, personal belongings, treatment supplies, documentation, and compatible clinical accessories.

The table can be moved out of the way when greater patient access or chair transport is required. A second side table and compatible cup holders are available as configuration options.

Caregiver push bar

The rear push bar gives caregivers a dedicated handling point for moving and positioning the recliner.

The chair should be moved only by trained personnel, with the patient properly positioned and the surrounding path checked before transport.

Five-inch transport casters

The RC301 includes 5-inch wheel casters designed to support movement within patient rooms, treatment areas, recovery spaces, and clinical corridors.

The casters provide a more transport-focused configuration than stationary patient recliners and allow the chair to serve as both an observation recliner and an internal patient transporter.

Wall-hugger reclining mechanism

The wall-hugger mechanism helps reduce the amount of clearance required behind the chair as it reclines.

This design supports placement in patient rooms, observation bays, treatment areas, and outpatient spaces where efficient use of floor space is important.

Steel healthcare construction

The chair uses an all-steel, powder-coated frame and includes a CAL 133 fire barrier.

The reinforced construction supports a patient weight capacity of up to 500 lb while providing the durability required for healthcare and institutional settings.

Designed for clinical observation and treatment

The RC301 can be used wherever patients need supported seating, adjustable positioning, or short-distance transport.

Common placements include urgent-care observation rooms, infusion areas, outpatient recovery spaces, diagnostic departments, ambulatory facilities, and treatment rooms.

The recliner is not a substitute for a stretcher, hospital bed, wheelchair, or emergency transport device when the patient’s clinical condition requires specialized equipment.
