Model EMS Lifeline ARM ACC - Medical Chest Compression Device
From U.S. Products
Defibtech is proud to introduce the Lifeline ARM Automated Chest Compression (ACC) device for performing mechanical chest compressions when effective manual CPR is not possible. Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) requires a high level of excellence in order to have an impact on the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim. This is very difficult to achieve manually when fatigue can occur in as little as 1-2 minutes while trying to maintain at least 2 inches/5 cm depth compressions at a minimum rate of 100 compressions per minute. In an emergency situation, the Lifeline ARM when used as an adjunct to manual CPR, provides extended CPR with minimal interruptions when fatigue, insufficient personnel, or patient transport (e.g., ambulance, intra-hospital) may prohibit the delivery of effective/consistent compressions to the victim. Its award-winning design provides portability, speedy deployment, and delivers precise CPR with unmatched operating times.
Simple to Use
The Lifeline ARM has an extremely simplified Control Panel where just two steps are needed to initiate mechanical CPR:
- Adjust the Compression Piston height relative to the patient’s chest for beginning compressions by using the Up / Down softkey buttons located on the Control Panel of the Compression Module
- Depending on the protocol that is in line with your designated emergency response procedures, choose between “Run Continuous,” which performs chest compressions only (no breathing) for continuous chest compressions, or “Run with Breaths,” which follows the compressions with breaths protocol by using programmed pauses for rescue breaths.
Toggling between the two protocols during the rescue is allowed, to accommodate your local resuscitation protocol. And, at any time, the Pause button may be used to stop compressions when running or resume compressions if stopped.
Easy to Maintain and Service
A USB port on the Compression Module enhances the Lifeline ARM’s serviceability in the field and makes it adaptable to future resuscitation requirements. Maintenance functions, such as retrieval of event data, and software upgrades, can be performed through a connection to a personal computer loaded with Defibtech ACC Support Software. A Service Indicator light on the Compression Module flashes to indicate when it is time for periodic servicing.
Easy to Transfer Data
The Lifeline ARM supports event capture and post-event review. A USB port on the Compression Module provides for data logging downloads of event information through a connection to a personal computer loaded with Defibtech ACC Support Software.
Long Life Rechargeable Battery
Advanced battery technology, with flexible power options, means the Lifeline ARM will always be ready for rescue. The rechargeable battery pack provides unmatched operational times and long service life across a wide temperature range. By design, fast battery pack swapping, as well as external AC power adapter operation, is possible.
- Long runtime battery pack life (requires less power to accomplish compressions)
- Fast battery pack recharge time
- Long useful life battery pack (3 years or about 300 charge/discharge cycles)
- Battery pack inserts in either orientation (with the contacts toward the unit)
- Fast battery pack swapping because of battery pack eject release latches
- External AC power adapter also recharges the battery pack, even during use
An optional charging station can charge up to two battery packs simultaneously and independently: recharge one depleted battery pack in 2 hours, or two depleted battery packs in 3 hours
Lightweight Rigid Frame
Nicely balanced and lightweight, the Frame’s single-piece design provides increased structural integrity during compressions by facilitating the operation of the Compression Piston without undue deflection or distortion that could compromise consistent compression depth, an important element for effective CPR. Providing enhanced usability during deployment and repacking, the Frame effortlessly snaps into the Backboard, and releases just as easily.
