8. Attach the support leg that is nearest to
you to the Back Plate.
9. Stop manual CPR.
10. Attach the other support leg to the Back
Plate, so that the two support legs lock
against the Back Plate. Listen for click.
11. Pull up once to make sure that the parts
are correctly attached.
Note: If the LUCAS Upper Part does not
attach to the Back Plate, make sure that the
claw locks are open and that you have
released the release rings.
WARNING - TOO LARGE PATIENT
If the patient is too large, the Upper Part of
LUCAS cannot lock to the Back Plate
without compressing the patient's chest.
Continue the manual compressions.
5.4 Adjustment and operation
The compression point should be at the
same spot as for manual CPR and according
to guidelines.
When the pressure pad in the Suction Cup is
in the correct position, the lower edge of
the Suction Cup is immediately above
the end of the sternum.
WARNING - INCORRECT POSITION
OVER CHEST
If the pressure pad is not in the correct
position in relation to the sternum, there is an
increased risk of damage to the rib cage and
the internal organs. Also, the patient's blood
circulation is compromised.
