Important user
information
All users must read the entire Instructions for Use before operating
LUCAS Chest Compression System.
The Instructions for Use should always be easily accessible to the
users of LUCAS.
Always follow local and/or international guidelines for CPR when
using LUCAS.
The use of other medical equipment or drugs in conjunction with
external chest compressions may reduce the effect of compressions.
Always consult the instructions for use for other equipment or
drugs to check that they are appropriate to use in conjunction with
the treatment and compressions being performed with LUCAS.
When LUCAS is used on a non intubated patient the device can
safely be stopped to allow intermittent manual ventilation. Switch
off the device by turning the ON/OFF knob to the
Lock
position,
ventilate and turn the ON/OFF knob back to the
Active
position
again. See Section 1.5 on page 13 for information about the ON/OFF
knob positions.
