STUDENT SELF-TEST
Step Essential Skill Set — Deployment
1 Open the Carrying Case and remove the Backboard.
2 Place the Backboard under the patient and position as needed.
3
Attach the Frame to the Backboard (one side at a time or simultaneously).
Pull up on the Frame to test that it is securely locked in place.
4
Remove the Compression Module and check that the Patient Interface Pad is installed.
Mount in the Frame, rotating in either direction until it is in line with the Frame and locks
into place.
5 Press the On/Off button for at least one second to turn on.
6 Adjust the position of the Piston until it touches the patient’s chest.
7 Push Run Continuous or Run with Breaths button to start compressions.
8
Apply the Stabilization Strap behind the patient’s neck. Connect the Strap to the Frame
with the Stabilization Strap Connectors. (Stabilization Strap can be adjusted using self-
adhesive Velcro.)
Notes:
• To minimize CPR interruptions and to most effectively use the Lifeline ARM, two
rescuers are recommended.
• Providing manual chest compressions takes precedence over setting up and initiating
use of the Lifeline ARM.
