Installation and Removal

2.1.1 Installing the LifeBand CCA

1. Place the AutoPulse Platform with the patient surface facing down on a smooth, ﬂat surface.

Note: The drive shaft should be oriented so that the slot faces directly upward.

2. Insert the head end of the LifeBand band clip into the drive shaft slot. The correct direction is

towards the LifeBand plate alignment arrow seen on the Platform (see Figure 2-1).

3. Once the head end of the LifeBand band clip is positioned into the slot, press the tail end of

the band clip into the slot of the guide plate until the band clip is fully seated in the drive shaft. You

should feel it lock into place.

4. Make sure that the band clip is seated properly and fully into the slot on the drive shaft (see Figure

Note: If the band clip is properly seated, you should be able to easily turn the drive shaft in each
