Introduction Introduction The Physio-Control TrueCPR coaching device provides rescuers with real-time feedback on chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in accordance with current CPR guidelines. IMPORTANT! Read these instructions carefully before use, and keep for future reference. These operating instructions provide procedural steps for proper use of the TrueCPR device, and can be used for training purposes.
Safety Information Safety Information The following terms are used in these operating instructions: Warning: Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in serious personal injury or death. Caution: Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury, product damage, or property damage.

Airway Button: Press to switch metronome between Airway (continuous compressions) mode and No Airway mode.
Using the TrueCPR Device Back Pad 1 3 2 Item 1 2 3 Description Battery Readiness Indicator: Flashing LED on back pad handle indicates battery capacity is sufficient for at least 25 minutes of operation. Note: LED flashes approximately once every 4 seconds. USB Port Cover: Provides access to USB port. Use a coin or similar tool to open. Battery Compartment: Holds two nonrechargeable Duracell® DL123 batteries. Use a coin or similar tool to open.
Using the TrueCPR Device 5 Position the back pad beneath the patient as shown in Figure 1. This helps the back pad stay in position. The back pad may be placed on either side of the patient. 6 Dry chest if necessary to prevent the chest pad from slipping. 7 Place the chest pad so that the palm pad is in the middle of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum.
Using the TrueCPR Device WARNING POSSIBLE INEFFECTIVE CPR: If the screen on the TrueCPR device is unreadable, unresponsive, or otherwise visibly damaged, do not use the device. Perform CPR unaided instead. 9 Follow the device metronome to maintain your compression rhythm. Note: To silence the metronome, press the (MUTE) button. 10 Observe the screen for depth feedback and any alert indications. Adjust your technique based on the feedback.
Using the TrueCPR Device The following two changes occur when the device is switched to Airway mode. • The airway indicator appears on the screen. • Ventilation prompts are not provided. Airway indicator Each time you press the AIRWAY button, the device switches between Airway mode and No Airway mode. Using the TrueCPR Device During Defibrillation It is acceptable to keep the TrueCPR device on the patient during defibrillation.
Using the TrueCPR Device Screen Illustrations Calibration Screen When you turn on the TrueCPR device, the calibration screen appears. Calibration in progress. • Do not apply pressure to chest pad. • Ensure chest pad and back pad are separated during calibration. Calibration complete. Begin chest compressions. Compression Indicators During compressions, the gray fan moves between the recoil zone and compression zone as shown.
Using the TrueCPR Device Rescue Breath Indicators and Tones In No Airway mode, the device provides a countdown screen and tones to indicate when you should prepare to give rescue breaths. The countdown is followed by two ventilation prompts. The compression to breath ratio is 30:2. Countdown to ventilation prompts. Three short tones sound. Ventilation prompts. Two long tones indicate when ventilations should occur. Resume chest compressions immediately after the two tones.
Using the TrueCPR Device Shut-down Screen Progress bar appears during shut-down. Note: Shut-down may take several minutes. Do not remove batteries while shut-down is in progress. Event Review Screens Two event review screens display data for the most recent device use. To display the event review screens, start with the device turned off. Press the (AIRWAY) and (POWER) buttons simultaneously to turn the device on in Event Review mode. To switch between the screens, press the (MUTE) button.
