2. Clinical Applications
Indications The
Alpha Active 4
system is indicated for the
prevention and/or management of all categories
1
of
pressure ulcer, when combined with an individualised,
comprehensive pressure ulcer protocol: for example,
repositioning, nutritional support, skin care. Selection
should be based upon a holistic assessment of the
patient’s individual care needs.
The systems represent one aspect of a pressure ulcer
management protocol; all other aspects of care should be
considered by the prescribing clinician.
If existing wounds do not improve or the patient's
condition changes the overall therapy regimen should be
reviewed by the prescribing clinician.
The above are guidelines only and should not replace
clinical judgement.
The
Alpha Active 4
mattress is designed for patients
weighting up to 200 kg (440lb).
Contraindications Do not use
Alpha Active 4
system for patients with
unstable spinal fractures.
Cautions If patients have other unstable fractures, or conditions
which may be complicated by a soft or moving surface,
advice should be sought from an appropriate clinician
before use.
While the
Alpha Active 4
system has been designed to
manage patients up to the weight limits indicated above,
those approaching this upper limit are likely to have
additional care and mobility needs and may be better
suited to a specialist bariatric system.
