1.3 Indications for Use
The RMU-1000 Automated Chest Compressor (ACC) is to be used for performing external cardiac
compressions, as an alternative to manual CPR, on adult patients who have acute circulatory
arrest, defined as the absence of spontaneous breathing and loss of consciousness.
The RMU-1000 should only be used in situations where chest compressions are likely to help the
patient.
Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
1.4 Contraindications
Do not use the RMU-1000 ACC in the following cases:
• It is not possible to position the ACC safely or correctly on the patient’s chest
• The patient is too small for the starting piston height to reach the patient’s chest
• The patient is too large for the Frame to attach to the Backboard or if the Compression
Module/Piston cannot be mounted without compressing the patient’s chest
Always follow local and/or recognized resuscitation guidelines for CPR when using the RMU-
1000 ACC.
1.5 Side Effects
The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) states the following side effects
of CPR:
“Rib fractures and other injuries are common but acceptable consequences of CPR given the
alternative of death from cardiac arrest. After resuscitation, all patients should be reassessed
and re-evaluated for resuscitation-related injuries.”
(From the 2005 International Consensus
Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science
With Treatment Recommendations, hosted by the American Heart Association in Dallas, Texas,
January 23–30, 2005. Published in Circulation. 2005; 112: III-5-III-16.)
The above side effects, as well as bruising and soreness of the chest, may commonly occur after
the use of the RMU-1000 ACC.

cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Resuscitation. 2004 Dec;63(3):339-43.)
1.6 Intended Use
The RMU-1000 ACC, when applied to a patient who is unconscious and not breathing, is intended
to:
• Provide consistent depth and rate chest compressions.
• Allow for automated chest compressions in both the in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings
including patient transport.
• Be applied to the patient with minimal interruption of CPR.
