Pneumatic mattress pump ALPHA ACTIVE 4 - Good

Arjohuntleigh ALPHA ACTIVE 4 Pneumatic Mattress Pump: Air Pressure Management System for Effective Patient Positioning and Support in Healthcare Settings.

The Arjohuntleigh ALPHA ACTIVE 4 pneumatic mattress pump is a sophisticated system designed to address the prevention and management of pressure injuries. Tailored for a diverse range of care environments, including home and community care settings, this mattress replacement system is engineered to provide optimal support and comfort for patients.

With a focus on cost-effectiveness without compromising quality of care, the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system offers a reliable solution for preventing and managing pressure injuries. Its innovative design enhances the overall quality of care provided to patients while reducing the risk for both residents and caregivers.

Equipped with advanced features, the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system ensures the delivery of high-quality care to vulnerable patients and residents. Despite its advanced functionality, the system remains user-friendly for caregivers, allowing for seamless operation and efficient patient management. Additionally, its design prioritizes ease of cleaning and maintenance, streamlining the overall care process.

One notable feature of the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system is AUTOFIRM, which provides a stable support surface for patient transfer and nursing procedures. This feature enhances patient comfort and stability during movements, contributing to a safer and more efficient caregiving process.

Moreover, the system is equipped with integrated audio and visual alarms, including low pressure, power fail, and pump fault alarms. These alarms provide caregivers with timely alerts to potential issues, allowing for prompt intervention and ensuring continuous patient safety and well-being.

The Arjohuntleigh ALPHA ACTIVE 4 pneumatic mattress pump incorporates advanced electronic pressure setting technology, allowing caregivers to accurately adjust and set appropriate pressure levels based on the patient's weight. This feature ensures that the pressure settings are tailored to the specific needs of individual patients, optimizing their comfort and reducing the risk of pressure injuries.

Furthermore, the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system offers variable cycle times to accommodate different therapeutic requirements and patient conditions. In addition to the standard 10-minute cycle time, caregivers have the option to select an extended cycle period of 20 minutes. This extended cycle time may be preferable during rehabilitation phases or when patients require less aggressive therapy. It provides a more stable support surface, which can be particularly beneficial during nighttime use or for patients who need enhanced stability during movement.

The AutoFirm feature of the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system plays a crucial role in providing a stable support surface for patient transfer and nursing procedures. By ensuring a firm and supportive surface, AutoFirm enhances patient safety and comfort during transfers and other caregiving tasks.

Moreover, the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system offers two distinct modes of operation to accommodate different prevention and treatment protocols, as well as patient preferences. The Active/Alternating mode periodically redistributes pressure away from vulnerable areas by alternately inflating and deflating cells beneath the patient. This mode is ideal for patients at higher risk of pressure injuries, especially those who cannot be frequently repositioned. On the other hand, the Reactive/Static mode equalizes cell pressure to distribute body weight over a larger surface area. This mode is suitable for patients who cannot tolerate a moving surface or those undergoing rehabilitation. By offering these two modes of operation, the ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system ensures flexibility in addressing diverse patient needs and clinical requirements.

Its modular construction contributes to ease of cleaning and maintenance, allowing caregivers to efficiently manage the system's upkeep. The pump's ergonomic, compact, and quiet design makes it well-suited for home and community care settings, where patient comfort and tranquility are paramount. Additionally, the system features a convenient transport facility with an easy-to-use mechanism that provides patient support while in transit. During transport, cell pressures are automatically equalized, ensuring a comfortable and even surface for the patient.

The ALPHA ACTIVE 4 system incorporates cell-on-cell technology, which provides additional support and enhances patient stability. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients with higher care needs or those at increased risk of pressure injuries. Furthermore, static head cells are included to enhance comfort and stability in the head section, optimizing the overall sleeping experience for patients.

Its top cover is designed to be vapor-permeable and water-resistant, featuring a two-way stretch and bacteriostatic properties. This cover helps maintain a clean and hygienic sleeping surface, reducing the risk of infection and promoting patient comfort. Ventilated cells actively manage the microclimate around the patient, minimizing moisture buildup at the skin interface and lowering the risk of maceration, a common concern in prolonged bedridden patients.

Finally, the CPR deflate function allows for rapid deflation of the mattress, enabling caregivers to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) without unnecessary delay. This feature ensures that emergency procedures can be carried out swiftly and effectively, further enhancing patient safety and well-being in critical situations.
