2 Introduction Always follow local and/or international guidelines for CPR when you use the LUCAS Chest Compression System.
2.1 LUCAS Chest Compression System The LUCAS Chest Compression System is a portable tool designed to overcome problems identified with manual chest compressions. The LUCAS device assists rescuers by delivering effective, consistent and continuous chest compressions as recommended in the American Heart Association guidelines1 and the European Resuscitation Council guidelines2. The LUCAS Chest Compression System can be used in a wide variety of situations and settings; on the scene, during patient movement, during transportation in road and air ambulances, in hospitals and catheterisation laboratories.
2.2 Intended use The LUCAS Chest Compression System is to be used for performing external cardiac compressions on adult patients who have acute circulatory arrest, defined as the absence of spontaneous breathing and pulse as well as loss of consciousness. LUCAS must only be used in cases where chest compressions are likely to help the patient.
2.3 Contraindications Do NOT use the LUCAS Chest Compression System in these cases: • If it is not possible to position the LUCAS device safely or correctly on the patient’s chest. • Too small patient: if the LUCAS device alerts with 3 fast signals when lowering the Suction Cup and you cannot enter the PAUSE mode or ACTIVE mode. • Too large patient: If you cannot lock the Upper Part of the LUCAS device to the Back Plate without compressing the patient’s chest.
2.4 Side effects The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) states these side effects of CPR3: “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 reevaluated for resuscitation-related injuries.” Apart from the above, skin abrasions, 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: • A Back Plate which is positioned underneath the patient as a support for the external chest compressions. • An Upper Part which contains the proprietary and rechargeable LUCAS Battery and the compression mechanism with the disposable Suction Cup. • A Stabilisation Strap which helps to secure the position of the device in relation to the patient. • A Carrying Case.

1. Use your finger to make sure that the lower edge of the Suction Cup is immediately above the end of the sternum.
When the pressure pad in the Suction Cup is in the correct position, the lower edge of the Suction Cup is immediately above the end of the sternum.
If necessary, move the device by pulling the support legs to adjust the position.
Suction Cup outer edge WARNING - INCORRECT POSITION OVER CHEST If the pressure pad is not in the correct position in relation to the sternum, there is an increased risk of damage to the rib cage and the internal organs. In addition, the patient’s blood circulation may be compromised.
2. Adjust the height of the Suction Cup to set the Start Position.

a. Make sure that the LUCAS device is in the ADJUST mode. b. Push the Suction Cup down until the pressure pad touches the patient’s chest without compressing the chest.
20 c. Push PAUSE to lock the Start Position.
WARNING - TOO SMALL PATIENT If the LUCAS device alerts with 3 fast signals when lowering the Suction Cup, and you cannot enter the PAUSE mode or ACTIVE mode. Immediately start manual compressions again. WARNING - INCORRECT START POSITION The patient’s blood circulation may be compromised if the pressure pad presses down too heavily or too lightly on the chest. Push the ADJUST key and adjust the height of the Suction Cup immediately.
d. Check for the proper position. If not, push ADJUST, pull up the Suction Cup to readjust the central and/ or height position for a new Start Position. Push PAUSE. e. Push ACTIVE (continuous) OR ACTIVE (30:2) to start the compressions. Note: If the Suction Cup is pushed down too hard or too loose to the chest the LUCAS device will adjust the Suction Cup to the correct Start Position. Note: Your device may be set up with different settings based on your protocols. These settings include number of ventilation alerts, audible alert signal on/off, compression to ventilation ratio, ventilation pause duration and automatic adjustment of the Suction Cup. The rate and depth can be configured to different fixed values. The device can be configured to alter between rates by pushing the ACTIVE (continuous or 30:2) key during ongoing compressions. Factory default settings and setup options are identified in chapter 9 in this document. Note: If you let the LUCAS device stay in PAUSE mode, it will power off automatically after 30 minutes. WARNING - UNSATISFACTORY POSITION Immediately start manual CPR again if it is not possible to position the LUCAS device safely or correctly on the patient’s chest.
Caution - gel on chest If there is gel on the patient’s chest (e.g. from ultrasound examination), the position of the Suction Cup can change during operation. Remove all gel before you apply the Suction Cup. Caution - keep your fingers away Do not put your hands or other body parts on or below the Suction Cup when the LUCAS device operates. Do not touch the claw locks, especially when you lift the patient. WARNING - PATIENT INJURY Do not let the patient or the device stay unattended when the LUCAS device operates. WARNING - CHANGED POSITION DURING OPERATION If the position of the Suction Cup changes during operation or during defibrillation, immediately push ADJUST and adjust the position. Always use the LUCAS Stabilisation Strap to help secure the correct position.
