The X Factor: Form. Function. Health. Performance.

Whether seated or standing, Xybix’s ErgoPower systems put everything within reach – proper reach zone, correct focal depth to monitors, expansive knee clearance and easy access to power and network outlets.

Xybix products all meet the new National Ergonomic Standard, ANSI/HFES 100-2007 Human Factors Engineering of Computer Workstations.  By designing to the widest range of user sizes -- from the 5th percentile seated female to the 95th percentile standing male -- Xybix sets the bar for ergonomic adjustability.

Medical Furniture Must Fit Everyone

An adequate adjustment range to fit a wide range of people is essential to the proper function of any product which claims to be ergonomically designed.

Xybix considers it prudent to base our product design criteria, as well as recommendations to our clients, on the National ANSI/HFES 100-2007 Human Factors Engineering of Computer Workstations guidelines.  ANSI/HFES 100-2007 represents the highest level of expertise, the lowest potential for conflicts of interest, and is the most current ergonomic standard available.

On a worldwide basis, proper ergonomic design seeks to properly fit at least 90 percent of the potential user base.  Standard design criteria dictates that the product be designed to fit a range of sizes from the 5th percentile seated female to the 95th percentile standing male – anything else is improper ergonomic design which shortchanges both users and the organization.

Ease of Use - Effortless Adjustment

Your medical workstation should be easy to use, and should also adjust to your personal most comfortable working position – either sitting or standing.

Two basic guidelines that will help you make an educated decision when choosing the best console are the following:

• EASY TO USE -- should require little or no training and no physical effort to adjust.
• MOST COMFORTABLE WORKING POSITION -- refers to stress-free postures proven to enhance productivity and comfort.

Ergonomic standards establish positions proven to increase comfort, productivity and reduce the probability of repetitive motion injuries.  Responsible manufacturers design products that meet or exceed these standards. Products that meet these standards give the purchaser assurance that the product they are buying will not hinder performance or adversely affect the health of their people.
