2 Introduction 2.1 LUCAS™ Chest Compression System The LUCAS™ Chest Compression System is a portable tool designed to overcome problems identified with manual chest compressions. LUCAS assists rescuers with 100 chest compressions per minute with a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches as recommended in the American Heart Association guidelines1.
2.2 Intended use LUCAS Chest Compression System is to be used for performing external cardiac compressions on adult patients who have acute circulatory arrest defined as absence of spontaneous breathing and pulse, and loss of consciousness.
2.4 Side effects The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) states these side effects of CPR2: "Rib fractures and other injuries are common but acceptable consequences of CPR given the alternative of death from cardiac arrest. After resuscitation, all patients should be reassessed and re-evaluated for resuscitation-related injuries." Apart from the above, bruising and soreness of the chest are common during the use of the LUCAS Chest Compression System.
2.5 Main parts The main parts of the LUCAS Chest Compression System include;
LUCAS must only be used in cases where chest compressions are likely to help the patient.
• A Back Plate which is positioned underneath the patient as a support for the external chest compressions.
2.3 Contraindications Do NOT use the LUCAS Chest Compression System in these cases: • If it is not possible to position LUCAS safely or correctly on the patient's chest. • Too small patient: If you cannot enter the PAUSE mode or ACTIVE mode when the pressure pad touches the patient's chest and LUCAS alarms with 3 fast signals.
• An Upper Part which contains the proprietary and rechargeable LUCAS Battery and the compression mechanism with the disposable Suction Cup. • A Stabilization Strap which helps to secure the position of the device in relation to the patient. • A padded Carrying Bag.
• Too large patient: If you cannot lock the Upper Part of LUCAS to the Back Plate without compressing the patient's chest. Always follow local and/or international guidelines for CPR when using LUCAS.

MUTE: If you push this key when LUCAS operates, you mute the alarm for 60 seconds. If you push this key when LUCAS is powered OFF, the Battery indicator shows the Battery charge status of the Battery.
ON/OFF: LUCAS will power up/power down when you push this key for 1 second. When LUCAS powers up, it automatically does a self-test of the functions and the protective system. When the self-test is complete the green LED (Light Emitting Diode) beside the ADJUST key illuminates. This procedure takes approximately 3 seconds. ADJUST: This mode is used when you want to adjust the position of the Suction Cup. When you push this key, you can move the Suction Cup up or down. To adjust the Start Position of the Suction Cup, manually push down the Suction Cup with two fingers onto the chest of the patient.
Battery indicator: The three green LEDs show the Battery charge status: • Three green LEDs: Fully charged • Two green LEDs: 2/3 charged • One green LED: 1/3 charged • One intermittent orange LED and alarm during operation: low battery, approximately 10 minutes of operating capacity remaining. • One intermittent red LED and an alarm signal: the Battery is empty and must be recharged. • One constant red LED and an alarm signal: the Battery is defective.
PAUSE: When you push this key, the compression mechanism temporarily stops and is locked in the Start Position. Use this function when you want to stop LUCAS temporarily but still want to keep the Start Position of the Suction Cup. ACTIVE (continuous): When you push this key, LUCAS performs continuous chest compressions. The green LED signal will blink 8 times per minute to alert for ventilation during ongoing compressions.
Note: When the LED to the far right is orange and not green, the Battery has reached the end of its service life. JOLIFE AB recommends that you replace this Battery with a new one. Alarm indicator: A red LED and an alarm signal indicate malfunction. Refer to Troubleshooting 8; 8.1 for indications and alerts during normal operation. 8.3 for malfunction alarms.
ACTIVE (30:2): When you push this key, LUCAS performs 30 chest compressions and then temporarily stops for 3 seconds. During the stop, the operator can perform 2 ventilations. After the stop the cycle starts again. An intermittent LED in combination with an alarm signal sequence will alert the operator before each ventilation pause.
