Controller has an alarm system
with an interruption of power supply mains alarm
condition.
Do not use the blanket/mattresses with any
AlphaCore
5
Controller or connection cables other
than those supplied with the system, or approved by
Inspiration Healthcare Limited.
The mattresses/blanket are not to be wrapped around
the patient. Ensure the surface of the mattress or
blanket has no folds or creases and check that
the surface is not damaged prior to placing on the
operating table or trolley. Do not use if there is any
damage, perforation or wear.
It is important to ensure that the mattress is firmly
secured and that the straps cannot slide off the
operating table brackets’ in relation to the operating
theatre mattress.
No part or accessory to the Patient Warming System can
be maintained or serviced while the system is in use.
To avoid the risk of electric shock this equipment
must only be connected to an electrical supply with
a protected earth.
Do not position the AlphaCore
5
Controller in such
a way as to make it difficult to disconnect the
mains lead.
If disconnection from the mains power should be
necessary, the IEC mains lead should be detached
from the AlphaCore
5
Controller or from the mains
socket.
In the event of a power failure, use a back-up
Power Supply such as a UPS (Uninterruptable
Power Supply) or Institutional back-up generator.
The Patient Warming System is not sterile.
Where necessary the user should take appropriate
precautions to protect the sterile field.
Pooling of surgical preparation solutions under the
patient is specifically contraindicated, due to risk of
skin irritation. Do not allow surgical skin preparation
solution to pool under the patient.
