Important user
information
All users must read and fully understand 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 7 for information about the
ON/OFF knob positions.
