Quick Reference Guide
The Power:connect/Power:disconnect switch is on the side of the pump.
• Press to put the pump into the power:connect mode, and to put the pump into power:disconnect
mode.
• Pump alarms can be reset by switching the pump to Power:disconnect and back to Power:connect again.
• To isolate the pump from the mains power, switch the pump to Power:disconnect and then remove the plug
from the mains power socket.
The Wait indicator is illuminated when the mattress replacement, overlay or seat cushion is being inated. The
indicator will remain illuminated until the system has been fully inated.
The Low Pressure indicator will ash whenever the pump detects low pressure in the mattress or seat cushion
and an audible alarm will sound. The indicator will extinguish once normal pressure is reached.
Check the Rapid Deate stopper at the head end is securely inserted and the tubeset is connected properly.
In the event of mains power failure, the Power Fail alarm indicator starts ashing and an audible alarm sounds.
The pitch of the alarm increases over time. If the mains power supply is resumed the audible alarm stops, but the
alarm light remains illuminated until the system is reset (UK only).
The mattress or seat cushion cell pressure can be adjusted for the individual patient weight using the Pressure
Control. Rotate the Pressure Control clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease it.
The Pressure Control is locked in position to prevent accidental rotation. Do the following to adjust the Pressure
Control position:
1. Lift the lock pin (A) to release the control knob.
2. Rotate the control knob (B) whilst the lock pin is raised.
3. Release the lock pin when the pressure control knob is in the desired position to lock the control knob.
The Power On indicator will illuminate when the pump is in Run mode.

Installation
Mattress Overlay
Place the overlay on top of the normal mattress surface, with
the tubeset located near the foot end of the bed. The mattress
cover must be uppermost
Remove existing mattress from the bed and place the MR onto
the bed frame and make sure the tube-set is located at the foot
end of the bed. The mattress cover must be uppermost.
Make sure the mattress has been secured to the bed frame
using the straps provided.
Place the seat cushion on top of the chair surface. From a
standing position in front of the chair and facing it, make sure
the cells are uppermost and the tube-set appears from the front
right corner of the cushion.
Do not use the Alpha Trancell Deluxe seat cushion without a
foam cushion beneath it.
Always use the Alpha Trancell Deluxe seat cushion with the
protective top cover.
Avoid trailing cables; make sure that the cable and tubeset are
positioned beneath the chair to avoid causing a hazard.
Quick Start:
Press the Power:connect / Power:disconnect switch to
Power:connect. The Power On and Wait indicators should now
be illuminated while the system inates.
Allow approximately 10–15 minutes for the mattress to inate
fully or 2–3 minutes for the seat cushion. When fully inated the
Wait indicator will extinguish.
Place a sheet over the MR/overlay and tuck in loosely.
Once the patient is on the mattress/seat cushion, adjust the cell
pressures using the Pressure Control. Refer to the patient weight
guide on the back of the pump for the correct setting.
In the case of a patient sitting up in bed, increase the Pressure
Control by two settings.
Transport Mode
The patient may be transported on the Alpha Trancell Deluxe
mattress and overlay.
1. Turn the control knob 90 degrees as shown below.
2. Remove the tubeset from the pump.
3. Switch the pump to Power:disconnect.

Mattress Replacement (MR)
Seat Cushion
To Complete the MR and Overlay Installation
Make sure the Rapid Deate stopper is inserted at the head end
(not applicable to Alpha Prevent).
Make sure the Rapid Deate tag is visible and accessible at all
times, and is clear of any possible entrapment areas.
For Alpha Trancell Deluxe mattresses only, make sure the
Transport control is set to Normal.
Make sure the air feed tubes are not “kinked” or twisted.
Make sure that the mains power cable and mattress/seat cushion
tubeset are positioned to avoid causing a trip or strangulation
hazard, and are clear of moving bed mechanisms or other
possible entrapment areas.
Insert the mains power plug into a suitable mains power socket.
Installing the Pump:
Position the pump, feet down, on
any convenient horizontal surface or
alternatively suspend from the bed
foot rail by means of swing out hooks.
Connect the tubeset to the pump.
To Reset the Rapid Deate:
Replace the stopper securely and reconnect the air tubes to
the pump.
Corner straps
The pressure in the cells will equalise and the patient will continue
to be supported (with the mattress static) for up to 2 hours with
the patient in the supine (lying) position.
For optimum use of the transport facility, set the mattress and
overlay to Transport mode when all the cells are inated at cell
cross-over. Make sure the patient remains in the supine (lying)
position.
