LUCAS

CHEST COMPRESSION SYSTEM, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

2.3 CONNECTION TO AIR SUPPLY

WARNING – INTERRUPTING AIR SUPPLY TO

LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES

If other life support equipment is disconnected from

the air supply, serious injury or death may result.

Never remove attachments to air outlets without

first checking that this will not put a patient at risk.

WARNING – EMPTY AIR SUPPLY

When the air in the cylinder runs out, the pressure

falls and compressions delivered by LUCAS

lose

force.

Immediately start manual chest compressions and

ensure that the air cylinder is exchanged. Always

change air cylinder if the pressure gauge is on red.

2.4 ADJUSTING LUCAS TO THE PATIENT

WARNING – INCORRECT HEIGHT

ADJUSTMENT

If the suction cup presses down too hard or too

lightly on the rib cage, the patient’s circulation will

be compromised.

Turn the

ON/OFF knob to Adjust and adjust the

height of the suction cup immediately.

WARNING – INCORRECT POSITION

If the suction cup is not positioned correctly in

relation to the sternum, there is an increased risk of

damage to the rib cage and internal organs. In

addition, the patient’s circulation will be

compromised.

Make sure that the suction cup is positioned

according to instructions in Section 3.4 before

starting compressions.

If the position changes during operation,

immediately turn the

ON/OFF knob to Adjust and

adjust the position of the suction cup.

2.5 HANDLING LUCAS CHEST COMPRESSION

YSTEM

WARNING – CRUSHING HAZARD

Avoid placing your hands or other body parts on, or

below the suction cup, when LUCAS is active.

WARNING – CRUSHING HAZARD

Keep your fingers away from the claw locks,

particularly when lifting the patient from the floor to

the stretcher with LUCAS in position.
