4.3 Operation and Adjustment
STEP 1) Press the ON/OFF button for at least one second to turn the unit on. If the Battery Pack
indicator shows red (low battery), or the ACC does not turn on, replace the Battery Pack or connect
external power. See Section 4.7
“Power“ for details.
STEP 2)
The Piston must be adjusted to the height appropriate for the specific patient to ensure
that compressions are delivered to the proper depth. Adjust the height of the Piston by pressing
the Adjust Down and Adjust Up buttons until the Piston is touching the patient’s chest as shown.
Not Touching
Correct Too High
Note: The ACC will automatically stop if the Piston encounters excessive resistance.
WARNING
If the Piston cannot be adjusted to reach the patient’s chest, the patient is too
small. Remove Frame and continue with manual CPR compressions.
STEP 3) Once the Piston is properly adjusted, start compressions, in accordance with your
emergency response protocol, by pushing the Run Continuous button OR the Run with
Breaths button:
Run Continuous
Run with Breaths
For any reason to temporarily stop compressions, press the pause button. To resume
compressions, press the pause button again or the appropriate run compressions button.
Note:
While in use, the Compression Module’s internal fan may activate in order to maintain an
optimal operational temperature level inside the Module. The fan will deactivate when that level
has been achieved and may subsequently reactivate, if needed. This behavior is normal.
Note:
If there is no user action after the ACC is powered on and the device is not performing
compressions, the Compression Module will automatically power itself off after 10 continuous
minutes of inactivity have elapsed.
