SELECT IMPORTANT WARNINGS WHEN USING THE LIFELINE ARM

Patient size is the determining factor when deploying the Lifeline ARM; there is no limitation
regarding patient weight.
■
If the Piston cannot be adjusted to reach the patient’s chest, the patient is too small.
Remove the Frame and continue manual CPR.

manual CPR.

If at any time compressions cannot be performed by the Lifeline ARM, resume manual CPR.

Piston target area.
