Adjustment and Operation
Remember, the compression point should be at the same spot for manual CPR according
to the Guidelines. When the Pressure Pad in the Suction Cup is in the correct position,
the
lower edge of the Suction Cup is immediately above the end of the sternum, but not
over the xiphoid process.
1. Use your finger to make sure the Suction Sup is immediately above the end of
the sternum. If necessary, move the device by pulling the Support Legs to adjust
the position.
