Reliance FX920 — Used Power Tilt Ophthalmic Auto Exam Chair with 7720 Stand
The Reliance FX920 is the workhorse motorized ophthalmic exam chair from Reliance Medical Products (now distributed under Haag-Streit) — designed and built in the USA for everyday clinical use. Paired here with the Reliance 7720 instrument stand, this used reliance fx920 system arrives ready for immediate clinical deployment as a complete exam-lane foundation.
The FX920 chair handles patients up to 600 lb, with a power tilt mechanism, programmable memory positions, an auto-return button to the upright position, and pediatric safety switches. The companion 7720 instrument stand provides a 12″ counterbalanced arm range that holds slit lamps weighing 12-60 lb, plus a refractor arm with 10″ of vertical travel that supports phoroptors up to 20 lb. The result: a single integrated lane that handles refraction, slit-lamp, and tonometry workflows from one chair.
Per a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (Clin Ophthalmol, 2022), work-related musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent among ophthalmologists — particularly neck and shoulder strain from poor patient positioning. The FX920’s programmable memory positions and the 7720’s counterbalanced arms directly address this: doctors spend less time adjusting the patient and instruments, and more time examining.
Why Practices Choose the FX920 / 7720 Combo
600 lb weight capacity — handles the full range of adult patient body sizes without the per-patient calculation that smaller chairs require.- Power tilt + power base — both the seat tilt and base height are motorized, controllable via finger switches on the chair or corded foot switches. Tech sets a memory position once; chair returns to it every time.
- Programmable memory positions — store frequent positions (e.g., disc check, tonometry, retina exam) and recall with one button. Reduces patient repositioning time during multi-instrument exams.
- Auto-return to upright — single button returns the chair to the standard exam position between patients. Improves throughput in high-volume optometry / general ophthalmology lanes.
- Pediatric safety switches — built-in safety switches prevent accidental activation by pediatric patients reaching the side-mounted controls.
- Reliance 7720 counterbalanced stand — 12″ range slit-lamp arm (12-60 lb capacity) plus 10″ refractor arm (up to 20 lb). Holds a slit lamp, phoroptor, and a third instrument simultaneously — the standard 3-instrument exam lane configuration.
- Single-hand height adjustment on stand — ergonomic for techs who need to reposition the instrument console between back-to-back patients.
- Made in USA — Reliance has manufactured ophthalmic furniture in the USA for decades; parts and service are widely supported.
Clinical Applications
- Comprehensive eye exam — supports refraction, slit-lamp, applanation tonometry, and indirect ophthalmoscopy from a single seated patient position.
- Pediatric and bariatric patient exams — 600 lb capacity and pediatric safety switches accommodate the full patient range.
- Retina exams requiring extended recline — power tilt eases positioning for indirect ophthalmoscopy and posterior-segment imaging.
- Pre-cataract and pre-refractive workup — programmable memory positions make the multi-instrument workup repeatable.
- Multi-doctor practices with rotating staff — memory positions reduce dependence on operator preference, keeping the lane consistent across providers.
Who This Is For
- Optometry and ophthalmology practices outfitting a new exam lane and wanting a motorized chair + stand combo at a sub-$8K price point (vs $15K+ new).
- Multi-office groups standardizing on Reliance furniture across satellite locations.
- Practices replacing an aging manual exam chair with a programmable motorized unit to improve tech efficiency.
- Buyers who want a single PO covering chair + stand rather than sourcing pieces separately.
