Preface
This document describes the operating steps and maintenance requirements for the AutoPulse® Resuscitation System Model 100 (also known as the AutoPulse).
Proper use of the AutoPulse requires a thorough understanding of the product, appropriate training and practice.
Please read the entire User Guide before operating the AutoPulse.
Who Should Read this Guide
This document should be read by personnel who will use this product and who are trained in Basic Life Support (BLS) and/or Advanced Life Support (ALS) techniques. This includes emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses, physicians, police, and fire rescue personnel, and people certified to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
General 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 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 certified in manual CPR must always be present during the AutoPulse System operation.
•The AutoPulse Platform is not intended to be the sole means of carrying a patient. The AutoPulse Platform 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.
•Failure to properly position the LifeBand® at the patient’s armpit line may cause injury to the patient.
•Do not place or position the patient on the AutoPulse Platform in either a facedown orientation or on the patient’s side.
•If a system error occurs, immediately revert to manual CPR.
P/N 12555-001 Rev 3 |
Page ix |
User Guide
Warning:
•If a user advisory or fault cannot be cleared or a system error occurs during active operation, immediately revert to manual CPR.
•Do not strap across, or otherwise constrain, the LifeBand. Constraining the movement of the LifeBand can damage or break the LifeBand.
•Do not touch the patient while the AutoPulse is analyzing the patient’s size.
•Failure to properly position a patient, both vertically and laterally with respect to the AutoPulse Platform, may cause injury to the patient.
•If you must move or realign the patient, you must press the Stop/Cancel button before adjustment.
•Do not place your hands or any other objects on or under the LifeBand while the AutoPulse is analyzing the patient or during active operation.
•Operating the AutoPulse on a patient for extended periods of time may result in minor skin irritation to the patient.
•Check the patient’s chest rise during ventilation during active operation.
•Do not use the AutoPulse in the presence of an oxygen-rich (greater than 25% oxygen) atmosphere, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Using the AutoPulse near the site of a gasoline spill may cause an explosion.
•No modification of the AutoPulse Platform, the LifeBand, or the AutoPulse Power System is allowed.
Caution: United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed physician.
Caution: The AutoPulse is designed to be used only with ZOLL-approved accessories. The AutoPulse will perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
Caution: Only use ZOLL Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse. The use of other batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse and will void the warranty.
Caution: Make sure that the LifeBand is not twisted before automatic compressions begin.
Caution: Do not submerge the AutoPulse Platform in liquid.
Caution: Use care while using sharp instruments around the LifeBand.
Caution: Do not block the vents of the AutoPulse.
Caution: Do not use the AutoPulse alone as a patient transportation aid.

P/N 12555-001 Rev 3 |
User Guide
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.
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.
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery before attempting to charge the Battery.
Caution: Do not autoclave the AutoPulse Platform, the LifeBand, or the AutoPulse Power System.
Caution: Retain the original product literature for future reference.

1Introduction 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.
1.1Indication 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 defined by a lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse.
1.2Description 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: fixed 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.
