The Alerta Ruby 2 is a replacement alternating pressure relieving mattress system with cell-on-cell air cells, a static base section and an in-use height of 8" for effective prevention and treatment of users at very high risk of developing a pressure ulcer in hospital, nursing and care home environments.
It incorporates cutting-edge SensaCare Truflo Technology – constant auto pressure sensing through an air sensor and microcomputer regulator to provide ultra-low interface pressure and promote an even ambience for natural sleep patterns and stable blood circulation with Ultra-Silent pump operation.
The mattress is comprised of multiple air-filled cells. The system is supplied with a pump that inflates and deflates these cells in an alternating fashion over a 10, 15, 20 or 25 minute period, ensuring the client is never resting on the same part of the mattress for too long. This reduces the risk that pressure sores will develop.
The individual cushions inflate and deflate periodically to ensure no part of the body is ever resting
on the mattress for too long, reducing the risk that pressure sores will develop
The system is designed for any client who is at a very high risk of developing pressure related sores. It is ideal for use in hospitals and care homes for clients who are likely to remain in their bed for a long period of time.
The system comprises a comfortable airflow mattress with a waterproof and vapour permeable cover. The cover is antimicrobial and can even be machine washed! It is supplied with an easy to use air pump that inflates and deflates sections of the mattress automatically. The pump features visual and audible alarms for low pressure and power failure to ensure the client is always at the ideal setting.
The Alerta Ruby 2 has been manufactured to comply with the most stringent quality and in-use guidelines.
