instructions contained within this manual.

The system has been designed to comply with regulatory safety standards including:

• EN60601-1:1990/A13:1996 and IEC 60601-1:1988/A2:1995.

• UL60601-1, UL2601-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1-M90.

• EN60601-1:2006, EN60601-1-11:2010 and IEC 60601-1:2005.

• AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1:2006 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60601.1(2008).

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. The mains power cable of this pump is designed
to allow movement of the bed, and should be fitted into the cable management
flaps along the sides of the mattress, as described in this manual.

• When using a seat cushion, the tubeset may be a trip hazard; position the tubeset
so that it does not create a trip hazard, and always supervise babies and small
children when the product is in use.

• 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
technical personnel. No modification of this equipment is allowed.

• The mains power socket/plug must be accessible at all times. To disconnect the
pump completely from the electricity supply, remove the plug from the mains
power socket.

• The CPR control and/or the CPR indicator tag must be visible and accessible at all
times.

• Disconnect the pump from the mains power socket before cleaning and inspecting.

• Keep the pump away from sources of liquids and do not immerse in water.

• Do not use the pump in the presence of uncontained flammable liquids or gasses.

• The cover of this product is vapour permeable but not air permeable and may
present a suffocation risk.

• Do not use the mattress without a cover, it provides a protective barrier.

• Bags supplied with this equipment may present a suffocation risk; to avoid the risk
of suffocation keep the bags away from babies and small children.

• There is no transport mode on the seat cushion.

• Only the pump and mattress or seat combination as indicated by ArjoHuntleigh
should be used. The correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed if
incorrect pump and mattress or seat combinations are used.

(iii)

Precautions

For your own safety and the safety of the equipment, always take the following precautions:

• Placing extra layers between the patient and the mattress potentially reduces the benefits
provided by the mattress and should be avoided or kept to a minimum. As part of sensible
pressure area care, it is advisable to avoid wearing clothing which may cause areas of
localised high pressure due to creases, seams, etc. Placing objects in pockets should be
avoided for the same reason.

• Do not expose the system, especially the mattress, to naked flames, such as cigarettes,
etc.

• In the event of a fire, a leak in the seat or mattress could propagate the fire.

• Do not use or store the system in direct sunlight.

• Do not use phenol-based solutions to clean the system.

• Make sure the system is clean and dry prior to use or storage.

• Never use sharp objects or electrically heated under blankets on or under the system.

• Store the pump and mattress in the protective bags supplied.

• Pets and children must be supervised in the vicinity of the system.

1. Introduction

About this Manual This manual is your introduction to the Alpha

Response™ system. Use it to initially set up the system
and keep it as a reference for day-to-day routines and as
a guide to maintenance. You must read and fully
understand this manual before using the system.

If you have any difficulties in setting-up or using the
Alpha Response system, contact your ArjoHuntleigh
sales office, listed at the end of this manual.

Intended Use The intended use of this product is to prevent and/or

manage pressure ulcers for patients up to 160 kg
(352 lb).

About Alpha

Response

The Alpha Response

system should be used as part of a

prescribed plan of care (refer to “Indications” on
page 4).

The Alpha Response system is a pressure redistributing
mattress replacement, mattress overlay or seat cushion
system designed to complement pressure ulcer
treatment and prevention protocols. The product offers
two therapeutic modes:

• Active

1

(Alternating) mode which periodically
redistributes pressure away from vulnerable areas by
inflating and deflating the cells beneath the body
every 10 minutes.

• Reactive

1

(Constant Lower Pressure or CLP) mode
where the cell pressure is reduced and held constant
across the surface in order to lower the pressure
exerted on the body.

The product also offers an additional option, Transport
Mode, where therapy is interrupted and the mattress
cells become static in order to assist with patient
transport.

The mattresses can be used on standard hospital and
normal domestic beds. Beds with divided sections for
independent elevation of a patient's head and/or knees
can be adjusted with these mattresses in position. The
seat cushion can be used on standard hospital and
normal domestic chairs.

The pump has three settings for the patient weight range:

• Light: 40-70 kg

• Normal: 70-120 kg

• Heavy: 120-160 kg
The pump will automatically detect whether a mattress

or seat cushion is connected.

If the backrest on the bed is raised (the patient is in a
semi-recumbent position), the system detects the new
position and automatically increases the pressure in the
mattress cells to provide optimal pressure redistribution
to the patient.

2. Clinical Applications

Indications The Alpha Response systems are 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.

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.

The Alpha Response mattress and cushion are designed for
patients weighing up to

Contraindications Do not use Alpha Response systems for patients with

unstable spinal fractures.

160 kg (352 lb).

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 Response 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.

3. Installation

WARNING

Bags supplied with this equipment may present a suffocation risk;
to avoid the risk of suffocation keep the bags away from babies and
small children.

Preparing the

Systems for Use

Remove the system from the packaging. You should
have the following items:

• Alpha Response pump including mains power cable.

• Alpha Response mattress overlay, Alpha Response
mattress replacement or Alpha Response seat
cushion, which all have integral tubesets and top
covers.

 Do not use the mattress or seat cushion without a

cover.

Installing the Mattress

Caution

Do not use the mattress overlay directly on the bed frame.

Mattress Overlay 1. Place the overlay on top of the base mattress, with

the tubeset located near the foot end of the bed and
the CPR at the head end. The mattress cover must
be uppermost.

2. Attach the mattress to the bed frame using the four

strap assemblies on the underside of the mattress
replacement:

• The strap assemblies are attached to four of the
five pairs of anchor points, their position
depending on the type of bed frame. One strap
assembly must be at the head end of the mattress
and a second must be at the foot end. The
remaining two can be attached to any of the three
pairs of anchor points in the middle of the
mattress.

• Pass each half of the strap assembly under the
base mattress, connect them together and pull the
strap assembly tight.

and check that there are no protruding bed springs
or sharp objects on the bed frame surface.

2. Unroll the mattress onto the bed frame and ensure
that the tubeset is located at the foot end of the bed
and the CPR at the head end.

3. Attach the mattress to the bed frame using the eight
fastener straps. The eight fastener straps can be
moved to any of the ten anchor points on the
bottom of the mattress replacement. This allows for
attaching the mattress to different types of bed
frame.

 If the bed has divided sections for independent

elevation of a patient's head and/or knees, attach the
mattress to the movable parts of the bed frame only.

 One strap assembly must be at the head end of the

mattress and a second must be at the foot end.

WARNING

The CPR control and CPR indicator tag must be visible and
accessible at all times.

Closing the CPR

Control

On the mattress overlay or mattress replacement, make
sure the CPR control is closed:

• The CPR control consists of a connector in the side

of the mattress with a removable plug fitted.

• Make sure the CPR plug is fully pushed into the

connector on the mattress.

Installing the Seat Cushion

Cautions

• Do not use the seat cushion without a foam cushion beneath it.

• Always use the seat cushion with the protective top cover.

• Always use the seat cushion in the correct orientation.

• Avoid trailing cables - make sure that cables and tubes are
positioned beneath the chair to avoid causing a hazard.

• Position the tubeset so it does not create a trip hazard and
always supervise babies and small children when the product
is in use.

1. Check that there are no sharp objects on the chair
which may puncture the cushion.

2. Place the cushion on top of the chair surface.
Stand in front of the chair and look towards it.
Make sure that:

• The cells are uppermost.

• The tubeset appears from the front right corner of

the cushion.

• The cells in the seat cushion are in a horizontal

position across the chair, with the “V” shape
pointing towards the front.

7

3. Secure the seat cushion to the chair by using the
fixing straps as shown in the following illustrations.

4. If the chair is of the open sided construction, then
fix the cushion as shown below:

5. If the chair is of the closed side type with a
removable seat cushion, fix the seat cushion as
shown below:

6. If the chair is of the closed side type with a non­removable seat cushion, then security will rely on
the anti-slip base material of the seat cushion.

7. Place the protective cover over the seat cushion and
ensure that the logo and the orientation icon,
printed on the cover, are uppermost and at the front
of the seat.

8. Zip the cover onto the seat cushion, taking care not
to trap any material in the zip.

the Run mode:

• The LED indicator changes to green.

• The LCD screen displays the ArjoHuntleigh logo

for 5 seconds, followed by the Alpha Response
animated logo for five seconds.

• The pump carries out a self-test routine and

initialises itself.

4. At the end of this start-up sequence, the pump starts
to inflate the mattress system.

 If no tubeset is connected to the pump, or the tubeset

is not connected securely, the LCD screen displays
a No Connection alarm, which alternates the No
Mattress and No Seat screens, and an audible alarm
is sounded. To clear the alarm, connect a mattress
or seat tubeset to the pump.

16

Mattress Operation 1. Make sure the CPR control on the mattress is

closed.

2. At the start of the inflation sequence, the default
mattress-inflation screen is displayed.

• The default patient weight range setting is

Normal, as indicated by the three Weight Range
icons.

• The default cell inflation mode is Active

(Alternating) and the default setting for the bed
frame is with the backrest horizontal, as
indicated by the Mattress/Seat Mode icon.

• For the duration of the inflation sequence, the

patient body is replaced by an “egg timer” icon.

3. The pump may take up to 40 minutes to inflate a
mattress to operating pressure.

 Failure to fully inflate the mattress will result in a

low pressure alarm.

4. When the mattress inflation is complete, the default
mattress-operating screen is displayed:

• The “egg timer” is replaced by the patient body

icon.

• The Activity Indicator is displayed and starts

rotating to indicate that the pump is in the Run
mode.

5. The patient can now be put onto the mattress.

6. To change the Weight Range setting or put the
mattress into Reactive (CLP) mode, refer to
Section 4, Page 11 “Controls, Alarms and
Indicators”.

 These settings can also be changed while the

mattress is being inflated.

 When changing between operating modes, patient’s

monitoring and repositioning program should be
reviewed.

 If the operation or performance of the pump

changes during use, stop using the system and refer
to Section 9, Page 26 “Troubleshooting”.

Raising the Backrest

on the Bed Frame

1. If the backrest on the bed is raised (the patient is in
a semi-recumbent position), the system detects the
new position and automatically does the following:

• Increases the air pressure in the mattress cells to

provide optimal pressure redistribution to the
patient.

• Changes the mattress icon from a “backrest

horizontal” icon to a “backrest raised” icon.

 The screen below shows the mattress in Active

(Alternating) mode when the backrest is raised.

2. When the bed frame is put back to the “backrest
horizontal” position, the system detects this and
automatically does the following:

• Decreases the air pressure in the mattress cells to

the value before the backrest was raised.

• Changes the mattress icon back to the “backrest

horizontal” icon.

Stopping Therapy To stop the therapy, press and hold the Run/Standby

button for three seconds to put the pump into Standby.

7. 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 Response system should be routinely decontaminated between patients
and at regular intervals while in use; as is good practice for all reusable medical
devices.

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
surface coating. Do not boil or autoclave the cover.

Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning

process. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the pump.

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 TO LAUNDER
THE TOP COVER.

23

For information on the mattress top cover, including
laundering guidelines, refer to “COVER
SPECIFICATION” on page 29.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level
above, the pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal operation is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorientating or relocating the pump.
