1 Introduction to the RMU-1000 ACC
This User Manual provides information to guide trained operators in the use and maintenance of
the Defibtech RMU-1000 Automated Chest Compressor (ACC) and its accessories.
This chapter includes an overview of the ACC, intended use information, a discussion of when it
should and should not be used, and information on operator training.
1.1 Overview
The RMU-1000 ACC is an automated, portable, battery-powered device that provides chest
compressions on adult patients who have cardiac arrest.
The ACC, when applied to a patient who is unconscious and not breathing, is designed to:
• Provide consistent depth and rate chest compressions.
• Allow for automated chest compressions in both the in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings
including during patient transport.
• Be applied to the patient with minimal interruption of CPR.
The major components of the RMU-1000 ACC are the Backboard, the Frame and the Compression
Module. The Backboard is placed under the patient to provide a base for the ACC system.
The Frame is placed over the patient and snaps into the Backboard with self-locking latches.
The Compression Module mounts into the Frame and contains the user interface, a replaceable
Battery Pack and the piston drive used to generate the chest compressions.
Compressions are initiated using a simple three-step operational sequence once the RMU-1000
ACC has been applied to a patient: the unit is turned on, the piston height is adjusted for the patient’s
chest size, and the compressions button is pushed. Additional user interface features include a
pause function, a warning indicator to notify the operator for possible misuse or malfunction, an
audible warning mute, and a Battery Pack capacity gauge.
The RMU-1000 ACC can be operated using a replaceable, rechargeable Battery Pack or with an
external power adapter. A fully-charged, new Battery Pack can provide continuous operation for
over an hour and can be recharged in the Compression Module.
A USB port on the Compression Module allows the Module to be connected to a personal
computer and for ACC data retrieval and event reporting when used in conjunction with utility
software available at www.defibtech.com.
