General Description
The Inspiration Healthcare Limited Patient Warming
System is designed for use in the operating room,
recovery room, anaesthetic room, intensive care and
emergency department. The AlphaCore
5
Controller
has only one mode of operation, providing safe and
controlled warming to assist patients in maintaining
normal body temperature. The applied parts are
available as:
• Mattresses for use under a patient
• Blanket to be placed over a patient
• Patient probe to indicate patient temperature
(provided by third party manufacturer)
Total power draw of the combination does not
exceed that required by two IHC-OTM1 mattresses
(maximum total loading 170 watts).
The patient’s core temperature should be regularly
and independently monitored.
Different mattress sizes are available as well as one
blanket size. The mattress and blanket cannot be
used in combination.
The AlphaCore
5
Controller powers the mattresses
and blanket at low voltage, ensuring safety for
patients and operators. The temperature is controlled
automatically to an operator selected level. An over-
temperature safety cut-out is integrated into each
mattress and blanket.
The AlphaCore
5
Controller is provided with a
multi-purpose clamp and can be placed on a flat
surface or mounted on an Intravenus pole (IV pole),
anaesthetic machine, or Medi-rail. The system can
control up to 5 accessory mattresses or one blanket.
It has a range of operating temperatures from 25-
40°C and is designed to be operated continuously.
The AphaCore
5
can maintain uniform heat under the
patient while using the mattresses or over the patient
while using the blanket.
The expected usable life of the AlphaCore
5
Controller
is 5 years and expected usable life of the mattresses,
blanket and connecting cables is 3 years under
normal use conditions.
