Midmark 626 Barrier-Free® Examination Chair
Only Midmark can offer a fully integrated point-of-care workflow designed to promote proper patient positioning for a more accurate blood pressure measurement with the ability to port data directly into the EMR, eliminating transcription errors.
Product Features
Many healthcare providers are not aware of current standards for proper blood pressure measurement.1 If this isn’t addressed, it leaves health systems at serious risk. 9.8% of the population is affected by overestimation of high blood pressure errors.2 Multiply the cost of treatment for hypertension by the typical patient panel size and the cost of overtreatment could be as much as $135,000 per each practicing physician.3 The impact of overmedication can also result in complications such as dizziness, fainting, exhaustion or even patient falls. The Midmark 626 is the first of its kind designed to promote proper patient positioning for more accurate blood pressure measurements.
Better positioning
- Easily position patients for a better BP measurement
- Powered movement of the back section ensures the patient’s back is supported
- A Barrier-Free low chair height allows the majority of patients, even female patients with heights in the 3rd percentile, to place their feet flat on the floor4

Ritter 225 Barrier-Free® Examination Chair
Ritter Barrier-Free Examination Chairs by Midmark adjust in height from 18-37 inches, improving accessibility to the exam chair and reducing the likelihood of staff injury. Ritter 224 & 225 Barrier-Free chairs are designed to offer low and high positioning heights so you can provide the best care to all patients, whether treating the elderly, expectant mothers or patients with disabilities.
Product Features
The number of elderly and obese in the U.S. is steadily growing, and over one fifth of adults in America are disabled.5 Assisting patients with mobility limitations onto exam chairs has become a frequently performed task. Although caregivers working in healthcare facilities are one of the most at-risk professions for musculoskeletal disorders,6 little has been done to evaluate and reduce risk. The Ritter 225 is designed to offer low and high positioning heights so you can provide the best care to all patients, whether treating the elderly, expectant mothers or patients with disabilities.
