LUCAS

I U G I ’

1.6 DESCRIPTION

1.6.1 M

LUCAS consists of an upper part and a back plate.

The back plate is placed underneath the patient to

form a support for the external chest compressions.

The upper part contains a pneumatically driven

piston rod, which acts on the patient’s chest via a

pressure pad. The pressure pad is surrounded by a

suction cup.

The support legs of the upper part are fastened to

the back plate prior to starting compressions.

1.6.2 C

LUCAS can be powered by compressed air from a

wall outlet or a cylinder. See Section 6 for

specification of air sources.

The air hose is permanently mounted on LUCAS,

and has a unique male connector at the open end.

The male connector only fits into a female connector

on the separate connector hose, which must be used

to connect LUCAS to the air supply. The connector

hose is available with a range of connectors suiting

different standards for air connections.

LUCAS requires no electrical supply and has no

conducting parts on the outside, except the hose

attachment, the claw lock bar, and the upper

attachment of the bellows.
