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.

Figure 1 Recommended Device Position

Notes:

• If the Reposition Back Pad alert indicator appears, adjust the back pad position. See “Alert

Indicators” on page 9 for more information. If the Reposition Back Pad alert persists, perform CPR

unaided.

• If the device cannot be placed in the recommended position, the alternative position shown in

Figure 2 may be used. When the back pad is placed in the side position, the chest pad must be

rotated 180°. Keep the palm pad in the middle of the chest on the lower half of the sternum. If the

device cannot be positioned properly, perform CPR unaided.

8 Place the heel of your hand on the palm pad and begin compressions in time with the metronome.

Be sure to maintain correct CPR hand position and release each compression completely.
