AutoPulse™ Resuscitation System Model 100
3.3 Ending Active Device Use
1. After either successful resuscitation or termination of activities, press the Stop/Cancel button
followed by the ON/OFF button. The Stop/Cancel button action will cease the compression cycles
and relax the LifeBand CCA (see Figure 3-14). The ON/OFF button action will power down the
AutoPulse Platform.
2. Open the Velcro
®
fastener and lift or log roll off the patient from the AutoPulse Platform, as
necessary.
3.4 Preparing the AutoPulse System for Its Next Use
1. Remove the LifeBand CCA from the AutoPulse Platform. Refer to Section 2.1.2, “Removing the
LifeBand CCA” for more information.
2. Discard the LifeBand CCA as it is a single-use component. Treat the LifeBand CCA as
contaminated medical waste and dispose of it accordingly since there are no user-serviceable
parts.
3. Clean the AutoPulse Platform before its next use. Refer to Section 4.2, “Cleaning the AutoPulse
Platform” for more information.
4. Replace the LifeBand CCA before returning the AutoPulse System to service. Refer to Section
2.1.1, “Installing the LifeBand CCA” for more information.
5. Remove the AutoPulse Power System Battery.
Note: Ensure that the AutoPulse Platform is powered down before removing and replacing the
Battery.
6. Replace the Battery with a fully charged Battery before returning the AutoPulse System to service.
7. Recharge the used Battery as necessary for future use.
3.5 Periodic Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring and/or
Defibrillation
When the AutoPulse System is used in conjunction with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) or with
other therapeutic devices that must monitor an ECG signal, interruption of the compression cycles may
be required to avoid ECG motion artifact associated with mechanical chest compressions.
Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using ECG monitor patches.
To interrupt the AutoPulse System’s active operation, press the Stop/Cancel button.
To restart the AutoPulse Platform, follow the procedures in Section 3.2, “Starting Chest Compressions”.
