WARNING – IMPROPER USE
Improper use of the device can cause serious injury
to the patient and ineffective chest compressions.
Jolife AB strongly recommends that the equipment
only be used by personnel who have undertaken
training in use and handling of LUCAS Chest
Compression System.
Other personnel may assist those with the
necessary training in using LUCAS.
WARNING – DEVICE STATUS
If your LUCAS unit does not appear as in the
illustration in Section 1.4, or if the device does not
function in the same way as in training, or according
to specification:
Discontinue use and continue with manual chest
compressions.
WARNING – MALFUNCTION
If there is air leakage, interruption in compressions
or insufficient compressions, if the frequency is
wrong, or there is jarring, or there is something else
that cannot be classified as normal running:
Disconnect the air hose immediately, turn the
ON/OFF knob to Adjust and remove the device.
Start manual chest compressions.
WARNING – SUCTION CUP SLIDING ON GEL
If there is gel on the patient’s chest (e.g. from
ultrasound examination), the position of the suction
cup may change during use.
Remove any gel left before applying the suction cup.
