5.2 Troubleshooting User Advisories and Faults
The AutoPulse System enters a User Advisory state (see Figure 5-3) or the Fault State (see Figure 5-4)
when one of several conditions is detected. A User Advisory generally indicates that a misalignment or
inappropriate movement of the patient or the LifeBand CCA has occurred. A Fault generally indicates
that the AutoPulse has detected an inappropriate internal condition. Both conditions are typically
correctable by the operator. Follow the instructions on the screen and then attempt to RESTART active
operation by pressing the Start/Continue button. If that does not work you should follow these general
steps to troubleshoot Advisories and Faults:
1. Check for correct patient alignment (refer to Section 3.1, "Deploying the AutoPulse System" for
more information), fully extend both LifeBand chest bands and attempt to RESTART active
operation by pressing the Start/Continue button.
2. If the user advisory or fault persists:
• Remove the LifeBand CCA assembly from, and fully re-insert into, the AutoPulse Platform (refer
to Section 2.1, "LifeBand Chest Compression Assembly (CCA) Installation and Removal") and then
press the Start/Continue button again.
• Remove and replace the LifeBand CCA with a new LifeBand CCA and then press the Start/
Continue button again.
• Check the AutoPulse Platform for blocked vents.
3. If any Fault indicator cannot be rectified, contact the manufacturer.
