1 Introduction of the AutoPulse
For years, a variety of attempts have been made to overcome the limitations of manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). ZOLL has developed a practical solution as an adjunct to the method used by medical professionals to perform CPR chest compressions. The AutoPulse is the resulting product.
®

1.1 Indication for Use

The AutoPulse is intended to be used as an adjunct to manual CPR, on adult patients only, in cases of clinical death as dened by a lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse.

1.2 Description of the System

The AutoPulse is an automated, portable, battery-powered chest compressor, which provides chest compressions as an adjunct to performing manual CPR (see Figure 1-1). Use of the AutoPulse is intended to reduce the impact of rescuer fatigue and will enable the rescuer to address additional patient needs.
The AutoPulse has the following operating parameters:
Chest displacement: equal to 20% reduction in anterior-posterior chest depth.
Consistent compression rate and depth.
Physiological duty cycle: xed at 50 ± 5%.
Standardized 30:2, or 15:2 compressions (30 or 15 compressions followed by two consecutive 1.5
second ventilation pauses) or continuous compressions (user selectable).
Table 1-1 provides the patient/AutoPulse operating parameters.
Table 1-1 Patient/AutoPulse Operating Parameters
Patient Parameter AutoPulse Specification
Patient chest circumference permitted 29.9 to 51.2 in. (76 to 130 cm)
Patient chest width permitted 9.8 to 15 in. (25 to 38 cm)
Maximum patient weight permitted 300 lbs.(136 kg)

3 Using the AutoPulse

This chapter describes how to use the AutoPulse in an emergency situation. The AutoPulse User Control Panel automatically provides display prompts to guide you.
Before deploying the AutoPulse, note the following warnings and precautions:
Warning:
The AutoPulse is intended for use on adults, 18 years of age or older.
The AutoPulse is not intended for patients with traumatic injury (wounds resulting from
sudden physical injury or violence).
When cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is indicated, it should start immediately and
should not be postponed.
The AutoPulse must be used only in cases that manual CPR would normally be initiated.
Personnel certied in manual CPR must always be present during the AutoPulse operation.
Caution: Use care while using sharp instruments around the LifeBand.
Caution: Do not block the vents of the AutoPulse Platform.

3.1 Deploying the AutoPulse System

In order to deploy the AutoPulse quickly and with the least interruption in cardiac compressions, a pit crew model - similar to that which is used in auto racing - is suggested for roles and positions of the staff
involved in performing debrillation and using the AutoPulse. Your local ZOLL representative can provide you with appropriate detailed instructions based upon the setting in which you work (EMS or hospital) and the number of clinicians that are typically involved in dealing with sudden cardiac arrest. Each organization should determine how this type of model can be integrated into the typical roles performed by members of their resuscitation team. Practice as a team using this model will help to streamline actions and ensure rapid, efcient deployment.

3.6 Patient Alignment and Securing for Transport

Warning: The AutoPulse is not intended for carrying or transporting a patient. The AutoPulse should
be secured to the top of a backboard or other equipment used to carry or transport the patient, if necessary. During transport, regular checks of the patient’s alignment should be performed.
The AutoPulse does not require any patient restraints to perform compressions while the patient is lying on a at surface. However, patient restraints should be used to maintain alignment of the patient to the AutoPulse:
If the AutoPulse cannot be set on a at level surface
If the AutoPulse is used during extrication or during transport
The AutoPulse is designed to accept standard restraints to maintain patient alignment. The rescuer can secure a patient of up to 300 pounds to a backboard and maneuver the patient as necessary while the AutoPulse is performing active compressions.
Caution: Motion can cause the patient to shift and restraints to loosen, so care should be given to the
initial strapping for alignment of the patient to the AutoPulse. Regular checks of patient alignment to the AutoPulse and alignment of the LifeBand to the patient's mid-axillary line should be made if the AutoPulse is performing active compressions, or before active compressions are restarted.
When transporting the patient, lift by supporting the patient and the AutoPulse onto the transportation device (for example, a gurney or backboard) and place the AutoPulse and patient within the vehicle during AutoPulse operation. Secure the AutoPulse and patient to the transportation device.
The AutoPulse can be used in conjunction with a transportation device during transport to hospital (a gurney or backboard). However, care must be taken to ensure that the patient is properly strapped to the transportation device using locally-approved procedures for safe transport.
Caution: Straps or restraints used for transportation purposes must not interfere with the operation of
the AutoPulse. Specifically, straps across the patient’s chest may restrict the compression/ decompression of the chest. In general, strapping schemes must not alter the alignment of the patient to the AutoPulse.

5.2 Troubleshooting User Advisories and Faults

The AutoPulse 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 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 LifeBand and attempt to RESTART active operation by pressing the Start/Continue button.
2. If the user advisory or fault persists:
a) Remove the LifeBand from, and fully re-insert into, the AutoPulse (refer to Section 2.1,
“LifeBand Load-distributing Band (LDB)”) and then press the Start/Continue button again.
b) Remove and replace the LifeBand with a new LifeBand and then press the Start/Continue
button again.
c) Check the AutoPulse Platform for blocked vents.
3. If a User Advisory or Fault indicator cannot be cleared, record the User Advisory or Fault number and contact ZOLL at +1.800.348.9011 or +1.978.421.9655.

Figure 5-5 User Advisory (45)
The AutoPulse driveshaft has a “home” position that is a point of reference for AutoPulse operation. If the driveshaft is not at its home position when the AutoPulse is powered on, a User Advisory (45) will occur. This User Advisory will persist until the driveshaft is returned to its home position.
To clear a User Advisory (45) pull up on the LifeBand until the chest bands are fully extended (thereby moving the driveshaft back to its home position), and then RESTART.
Warning: Removing the band clip when the driveshaft is not at its home position (see Figure 2-8 on
page 2-7) will result in a permanent User Advisory (45) that the user will not be able to clear. To avoid this situation, the following guidelines should be adhered to:
1. The LifeBand should be removed from the driveshaft ONLY from its home position.
2. The LifeBand must be completely unwound with the seam visible (see Figure 2-10 on page 2-8).
3. If the LifeBand is cut, care should be taken to ensure that the bands are fully extended before the cover plate is opened and the band clip is removed.
4. Do not attempt to defeat the shaft lock mechanism, which keeps the driveshaft at its home position when a LifeBand is not installed.
If a User Advisory (45) can't be cleared; Power off the AutoPulse and contact ZOLL at +1.800.348.9011 or +1.978.421.9655
