Caution - adjunctive therapies
The use of other medical equipment or drugs
in conjunction with LUCAS can affect the
treatment. Always consult the instructions for
use for the other equipment and/or drugs to
make sure that they are applicable in
conjunction with CPR.
5.8.1 Defibrillation
Defibrillation can be performed while LUCAS
operates.
1. You can apply the defibrillation elec-
trodes before or after LUCAS has been
put in position.
2. Perform the defibrillation according to
the instructions from the manufacturer of
the defibrillator.
Caution - defibrillation electrodes
Position the defibrillation electrodes and
wires so that they are not under the Suction
Cup. If there are already electrodes on the
patient, make sure that they are not under
the Suction Cup. If they are, you must apply
new electrodes.
3. After defibrillation, make sure that the
position of the Suction Cup is correct.
If necessary, adjust the position.
WARNING - CHANGED POSITION
DURING OPERATION
If the position of the Suction Cup changes
during operation or during defibrillation,
immediately push ADJUST and adjust the
position. Always use the LUCAS Stabilization
Strap to help secure the correct position.
WARNING - ECG INTERFERENCE
Chest compressions interfere with ECG
analysis. Push PAUSE before you start the
ECG analysis. Make the interruption as short
as possible. Push ACTIVE (continuous) or
ACTIVE (30:2) to start the compressions
