Alerta Sapphire 2 Replacement Mattress System

High-performance alternating pressure relieving system for high-risk patient care

Introduction & Clinical Purpose

The Alerta Sapphire 2 Replacement Mattress System is a premium, high-performance alternating pressure-relieving solution engineered specifically for patients at high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of hospitals, nursing homes, and home care environments, this advanced system integrates cutting-edge pneumatic therapy with robust ergonomic support. By effectively managing interface pressure and promoting tissue perfusion, the Alerta Sapphire 2 serves as an indispensable tool in modern patient care and pressure injury prevention strategies.

Advanced Pressure Relief & Core Architecture

At the heart of the system is an innovative combination of mechanical engineering and smart technology. The mattress features a 5-inch air cell construction paired with an integrated self-inflating foam base, bringing the total base depth to nearly 7 inches. This dual-layer approach ensures that patient weight is evenly distributed across the entire support surface, significantly mitigating peak pressure points on vulnerable areas such as the sacrum, heels, and shoulders.

Equipped with SensaCare Truflo Technology®, the system dynamically monitors and adjusts pressure to maintain optimal support tailored to the individual. The whisper-quiet, highly efficient pump delivers consistent alternating pressure therapy, which actively stimulates blood flow and safeguards tissue health against ischemic breakdown. The intuitive control unit displays real-time pressure readings, giving clinical staff and caregivers immediate visual feedback and alerting them instantly should any system irregularities occur.

Patient Safety & Caregiver Usability

Understanding the fast-paced nature of care environments, the Alerta Sapphire 2 is built with practical features that streamline daily nursing workflows and maximize patient security:

• Rapid CPR Release: Enables immediate deflation for emergency resuscitation protocols.
• Transport Mode: Safely retains air within the cells during patient relocation or temporary power loss.
• Pillow Function: Keeps the head section static to enhance patient comfort and stability.
• Secure Anchoring Straps: Prevent unwanted shifting of the mattress on the bed frame.
• Mains Cable Management: Reduces trip hazards and keeps power cords neatly organized.

Hygiene, Infection Control, and Durability

Infection control is paramount in clinical and home settings. The Alerta Sapphire 2 features a multi-stretch, vapor-permeable, and water-resistant polyurethane (PU) cover that protects internal components while minimizing shear and friction against the patient's skin. The antimicrobial cover is fully machine washable and designed for effortless disinfection between uses.

Furthermore, the mattress construction incorporates a robust 360-degree zipper and a zipped storage bag for easy transport and deployment. The internal nylon TPU-coated cells include micro-perforations to assist with microclimate management, reducing moisture accumulation. For targeted pressure management, the system features independently removable cells, including dedicated removable heel cells to completely relieve pressure off vulnerable lower limbs.
