Safety Warnings
• It is the responsibility of the care giver to ensure that the user can use this product
safely.
• Whilst the patient is unattended, the decision to use safety sides should be based
on clinical assessment and in line with local policy.
• Alignment of the bed frame, safety sides and the mattress should leave no gap
wide enough to entrap a patient's head or body, or to allow egress to occur in a
hazardous manner where entanglement with the mains power cable and tubeset or
air hoses may result. Care should be exercised to prevent occurrence of gaps by
compression or movement of the mattress. Death or serious injury may occur.
• Make sure that the mains power cable and tubeset or air hoses are positioned to
avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and are clear of moving bed mechanisms or
other possible entrapment areas. Where cable management flaps are provided
along the sides of the mattress, these should be used to cover the mains power
cable.
• Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the pump. The pump's case must only be removed by authorised

2. Clinical Applications
Indications The Alpha Trancell Deluxe systems are indicated for
the prevention and/or management of pressure ulcers,
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.
These 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.
Alpha Prevent Indicated for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers
up to category 21. Maximum patient weight 90 kg.
Alpha Trancell Deluxe/
Trancell II
Indicated for prevention and treatment of all categories of
pressure ulcer. Maximum patient weight 120 kg.
Alpha Trancell Deluxe
Seat Cushion
Indicated for prevention and treatment of all categories of
pressure ulcer for patients weighing between 40 to 90 kg.
Contraindications Do not use these systems 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 these systems have 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.
Active therapy (alternating) cushions may be unsuitable
for patients with poor sitting posture or pelvic deformity;
advice from a seating specialist should be sought.
Care of the patient
when sitting Seated patients are at increased risk of pressure ulcers
particularly if they are immobile or have wounds over the
seating area. For optimal outcome, provide a pressure
redistributing seat cushion in a chair which promotes a
good sitting posture and has a level base seat to support the
cushion, in addition to an individualised repositioning
programme.
Mattress and cushion combinations may have different upper weight limits.
Cushions should be used in combination with pressure-redistributing mattresses
to provide 24-hour therapy.

6. Decontamination
The following processes are recommended, but should be adapted to comply with
the local or national guidelines (Decontamination of Medical Devices) which may
apply within the Healthcare Facility or the country of use. If you are uncertain, you
should seek advice from your local Infection Control Specialist.
The Alpha Trancell Deluxe system should be routinely decontaminated between
patients and at regular intervals while in use; as is good practice for all reusable
medical devices.
To Clean Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic
debris by wiping with a cloth moistened with a simple
(neutral) detergent and water. Dry thoroughly.
Do not allow water or cleaning solutions to collect on
the surface of the pump.
Chemical Disinfection To protect the integrity of the cover we recommend a
chlorine-releasing agent, such as sodium hypochlorite,
at a strength of 1,000ppm available chlorine (this may
vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on local
policy and contamination status).
Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution, then wipe
with a cloth moistened in water and dry thoroughly.
Alcohol based disinfectants (strength 70%) may be used
as an alternative.
Ensure the product is dry before storage.
If an alternative disinfectant is selected from the wide
variety available we recommend that suitability for use
is confirmed with the chemical supplier prior to use.
DO NOT WRING/MANGLE, AUTOCLAVE OR USE
PHENOLIC BASED SOLUTIONS.
Thermal Disinfection For mattress top cover information including laundering
guidelines, refer to “Cover Specification” on page 17.
Re-use with multiple
patients
Professional hygiene maintenance is required before
re-use of the system with a different patient.
WARNING
Remove the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the
mains power cord from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Protective clothing should always be worn when carrying out
decontamination procedures.
Caution
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads
during the decontamination process as these will damage the
