Procedure
WARNING
Before using the Alpha Active 3 mattress overlay make sure it
has been installed correctly in accordance with
Page 5 "Installation" and ensure that the CPR unit on the
mattress is clicked into the closed position.
1.
Connect the pump to the mains power supply using the
supplied cable and switch on the pump.
2.
Press the On/Off button on the side of the pump.
3.
Set pressure dial on pump according to patient weight. This
should serve as an approximate guide only. An independent
clinical determination needs to confirm that the patient is
properly supported.
4.
Allow approximately 30 minutes for the mattress overlay to
inflate fully.
5.
Place a bed sheet over the mattress and tuck in loosely.
Ensure that the CPR unit is clearly visible at the head end of
the bed.
It is important to follow the correct support setting procedure to
ensure the patient receives adequate support while achieving
maximum pressure redistribution and comfort.
6.
Lie or sit the patient on the mattress.
7.
Wait 10 minutes while the pump adjusts the pressures.
8.
Ensure that the patient is not 'bottoming out' by unfastening
the cover and sliding a outstretched hand (palm up)
underneath the deflated cells below the part of the body
where the pressure ulcer exists, or the area at risk for a
pressure ulcer.
