Alerta Ruby Turn

Alerta Ruby Turn – Lateral Turning Air Mattress System

The Alerta Ruby Turn is an advanced lateral turning alternating air mattress system designed to deliver exceptional comfort, pressure care, and support for users at very high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Combining programmable functionality with Alerta’s latest Lateral Turning Technology, this system provides superior pressure redistribution and automated repositioning to enhance patient care and reduce manual handling for caregivers.

With its simple-to-use settings and intuitive controls, the Alerta Ruby Turn allows care providers to set up and operate the system quickly and effectively. Each mattress can be programmed for individual user needs, offering unique lateral turning cycles, adjustable pressure levels, and customised therapy settings—all with the touch of a button. The system ensures consistent, optimal pressure management tailored to each user’s comfort and clinical requirements.

Advanced Lateral Turning Technology

At the heart of the Ruby Turn system is Alerta’s innovative lateral turning mechanism, which gently rotates the user from side to side at set intervals. This controlled movement enhances circulation, reduces prolonged pressure on any one area of the body, and assists with patient repositioning—key factors in preventing the development of pressure sores.

The system offers a choice of left, right, or dual turning options, each with programmable timing and turning degree controls. This level of flexibility allows care professionals to design a personalised turning schedule that meets the user’s specific needs. Whether used in hospital, residential, or community care settings, the Ruby Turn ensures a consistent level of comfort and protection.

Ease of Use and Intelligent Design

The Ruby Turn mattress is engineered for practicality and ease of operation. All key functions are accessible via the control unit, allowing caregivers to make precise adjustments quickly and safely. The Ultra-Silent™ pump ensures a quiet and peaceful environment, minimising disruption to the user’s rest and promoting better sleep quality.

Built to withstand demanding care environments, the system includes a robust pump connection and independently removable air cells for simplified maintenance. The Constant Low Pressure (CLP) mode provides continuous, even pressure distribution, while the CPR release function enables rapid deflation in emergencies. Together, these features ensure a reliable and responsive system that prioritises both safety and performance.

Premium Comfort and Protection

The Alerta Ruby Turn mattress features a high-quality, multi-way stretch PU cover that is waterproof, vapour permeable, and easy to clean. This helps maintain skin integrity by allowing moisture to escape while protecting the internal components from fluid ingress.

For additional comfort, a pillow function is integrated into the design, supporting the head and neck area without compromising the turning motion or pressure relief. Every aspect of the mattress has been carefully developed to promote long-term comfort, hygiene, and therapeutic benefit.
