Alerta Emerald 2 Overlay System, Advanced Pressure Relief for High-Risk Users
- High-risk alternating pressure overlay with SensaCare Truflo Technology, using an integrated air sensor and microcomputer regulator to continuously auto-adjust cell pressure levels based on patient weight distribution, maintaining ultra-low interface pressure without manual intervention.
- 5-inch air cells provide clinical-grade pressure redistribution, cycling between adjacent cell groups to periodically offload tissue at bony prominences and permit capillary reperfusion across the full mattress surface.
- CPR tubes removable for rapid emergency deflation, allowing clinical staff to achieve a firm resuscitation surface within seconds without removing the overlay system from the bed.
- Water-resistant, antimicrobial cover with machine washable construction meets CQC Regulation 12 infection control standards for reusable patient contact equipment in care home and hospital settings.
Alerta Emerald 2 Overlay: SensaCare Truflo Technology for High-Risk Pressure Care
The Alerta Emerald 2 is an alternating pressure overlay system featuring SensaCare Truflo Technology for patients at high risk of pressure ulcer development. The integrated air sensor and microcomputer regulator continuously monitor patient weight distribution and auto-adjust cell inflation pressure in real time. This automated regulation delivers ultra-low interface pressure and supports capillary reperfusion without requiring manual adjustment by care staff. The 5-inch air cells provide effective pressure cycling across the full mattress surface.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline CG179 recommends alternating pressure surfaces for patients assessed as at risk of pressure damage where static redistribution is insufficient. SensaCare Truflo Technology delivers automated pressure regulation that reduces reliance on manual clinical intervention. CQC Regulation 12 requires evidence-based pressure care protocols for at-risk patients in registered care settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does SensaCare Truflo Technology do?
SensaCare Truflo uses an integrated air sensor and microcomputer regulator to continuously monitor patient weight distribution across the mattress surface. The system auto-adjusts cell inflation pressure in real time, maintaining ultra-low interface pressure without requiring manual dial adjustments by nursing staff. This automated regulation supports consistent pressure care throughout the night, even when patient position changes during sleep.
Is the Emerald 2 suitable for patients already showing early pressure damage?
The Emerald 2 is rated for high-risk patients and provides both prevention and treatment-level pressure redistribution. For patients presenting with existing Category 1 or Category 2 pressure damage, the SensaCare auto-regulation provides responsive pressure management. For patients with Category 3 or Category 4 wounds, a full replacement system with deeper cell immersion may be clinically indicated.
