Introduction
The Physio-Control TrueCPR coaching device provides rescuers with real-time
feedback on chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in
accordance with current CPR guidelines.
IMPORTANT! Read these instructions carefully before use, and keep for future
reference.
These operating instructions provide the procedural steps for proper use of the
TrueCPR device, and can be used for training purposes. Operators should read
these instructions and be thoroughly familiar with the device before use.
Intended Use
The TrueCPR device is intended to provide feedback to assist rescuers to
perform CPR. Rescuers must be trained in CPR and use of the device.
The TrueCPR device is intended for use on patients eight years of age and older.
Indications
The TrueCPR device is indicated for use on patients in cardiac arrest
(unconscious, pulseless, not breathing normally).
Operating Principle
The TrueCPR device consists of a chest pad, which is placed on the sternum,
and a back pad, which is placed beneath the patient. The device determines the
depth of chest compressions during CPR by measuring the distance between the
chest pad and back pad. The device measures distance by sending and
receiving electromagnetic signals between the chest pad and back pad.
