Compression Release Bar (Adult only)
If the CPR Dashboard is configured On, the Compression Release Bar shows the release of the
chest compression by the rescuer. When the release of the chest is properly administered (fully
released), the bar will fill all the way to the top.
This feature is unavailable while using Pediatric CPR electrodes.
CPR Metronome
The R Series unit includes a CPR metronome feature that can be used to encourage rescuers to
perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per
minute. This feature can be configured.
When activated, the metronome beeps at the AHA/ERC recommended rate to provide a
compression rhythm for rescuers to follow. The metronome is silent when no chest
compressions are being detected by CPR-equipped hands-free therapy electrodes.
When Manual and Advisory modes are configured to “Yes,” the metronome only beeps when
chest compressions are detected and their rate falls below the AHA/ERC recommended levels.
When compressions are being performed at 80 compressions per minute or higher, the
metronome is silent. Should the detected compression rate fall below this level, the metronome
will begin beeping until recommended compression rates are consistently achieved over several
compression cycles. The metronome stops beeping approximately 2 seconds after the last chest
compression is detected.
When Manual and Advisory modes are configured to “Continuous,” the metronome beeps as
long as compressions are detected, even when they are being performed at 80 compressions per
minute or higher. The metronome stops beeping approximately 2 seconds after the last chest
compression is detected.
Fully Release prompt
The R Series unit can be configured to display the text prompt, FULLY RELEASE, which
reminds rescuers to lift (fully release) their hands from the patient’s chest during compressions
to allow full recoil.
