Problem Suggested Action
The CPRmeter display is dark. Make sure the CPRmeter is
turned on.
CPRmeter status light does not
flash green. Replace the battery. Ensure that
the battery is inserted in the
correct orientation.
CPRmeter status light is orange
(solid or flashing) and the
CPRmeter display is dark. Remove the CPRmeter from
service. Contact Laerdal for
technical support.
CPRmeter does not adhere to
patient's chest. If there is no other responder
present, provide CPR using the
CPRmeter even if it does not
adhere to the patient's chest.
Be sure to keep the CPRmeter
properly positioned.
If there is another responder
present to provide CPR, remove
the CPRmeter and replace the
CPRmeter patient adhesive.
Dry the patient's chest if wet and
re-apply the CPRmeter with a
minimum interruption to CPR.
User is unfamiliar with the
CPRmeter, or thinks there is a
problem with the CPRmeter. Ignore feedback from the
CPRmeter and continue with
CPR.
At an appropriate time after
the CPR event, inspect the vent
membrane for soiling or damage.
Apply a new patient adhesive
and let a trained user perform
chest compressions with the
CPRmeter on a CPR manikin. If
the CPRmeter does not appear
to function as expected, remove
it from service and contact
Laerdal or approved Laerdal
representative for technical
support.
