Transport Mode
The transport facility is located on the tubeset near the pump. The
patient may be transported on the
Alpha Trancell
Deluxe systems
as follows:
1.
Turn the control knob 90 degrees as shown below.
2.
Remove the tubeset from the pump.
3.
Switch the pump to Power:disconnect.
The pressure in the two sets of cells will equalise and the patient
continues to be supported (with the mattress static) for 1 - 2 hours
with the patient in the supine (lying) position.
Normal Mode
To return to normal alternating mode, push the tubeset onto the
pump, make sure the pump is switched on and then turn the
control knob 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that the arrows
align with the tubeset.
Stopping Therapy
To stop the therapy, switch the pump to the Power:disconnect (
)
position.
• To completely isolate the pump from the mains, remove the
plug from the mains power socket.
IMPORTANT
• The Transport facility is fitted to the
Alpha Trancell
Deluxe mattress
replacement and the mattress overlay only.
• There is no Transport facility on the
Alpha Trancell
Deluxe seat cushion.
NOTE
To obtain the maximum use of the transport facility ensure that the patient remains in the supine
position and the mattress is put in transport mode when all cells are inflated.
