The maximum working power output is equivalent
to controlling two full size mattresses (IHC-OTM1)
irrespective of configuration (170 watts).
There is no active cooling with this device, reduction
in accessory temperature is passive and will not
decrease below ambient.
Mattresses and Blanket
Mattresses shall be placed under the patient with
the marked side facing up. The RB1 blanket shall
be placed on top of the patient with the marked side
facing up.
Mattresses are available in various sizes
and are only designed to operate under the
patient. They provide an even temperature
over the whole surface and are extremely flexible.
The basic construction of mattresses across the range
is the same.
The mattresses are water and solvent resistant and
have been tested for bio-compatibility to allow skin
contact during use. All seams are fully sealed by
RF Welding.

Patient Warming System Instructions for Use
A pressure relief pad is integrated into the mattress
underneath the flexible warming surface to work in
conjunction with the operating table mattress. This
may help reduce the incidence of pressure sores,
without any attenuation of the warming performance.
Integral straps are used to retain the mattress
in-situ.
The blanket is designed to operate over the patient
and constructed in the same manner as the
mattresses, but without the pressure relief pad which
is replaced by a soft insulating material.
On initial start-up, if the ambient temperature is low,
the mattress/blanket will take longer to achieve the
desired temperature. If the desired temperature is
not achieved within the defined warming up time,
there will be a visual and audible indication. Should
this happen, the AlphaCore
to power up the mattress/blanket until the desired
temperature is achieved.
The mattresses/blanket contain a special conductive
heating material and will not cause any environmental
heating. The heat emitted by this material will only
be felt by the user/patient when applying pressure
or weight to the mattress. It is normal that the
mattresses/blanket do not feel particularly warm to
the touch when left uncovered.
The AlphaCore
Controller monitors temperature
5
and when the mattress/blanket reaches the desired
temperature the AlphaCore
this automatically. If the maximum allowed
temperature is exceeded, a visual warning indicator
will be displayed, and the over-temperature alarm will
sound. An internal safety cut-out system will operate
if any fault condition causes the mattress/blanket to
exceed a temperature of 41°C.
