§
Key points:
Ÿ
Let go of the Release Rings when attaching the Upper Part to the Back
Plate. Pulling them once is only to ensure that the Claw Locks are open and will
snap onto the Back Plate. To demonstrate why you pull the Release Rings before
attaching the Upper Part, manually close one of the Claw Locks and show what
happens when the Release Rings are pulled.
Ÿ
Demonstrate that an effective way to remove the LUCAS device from the Carrying
Case is for the user to place their thumbs in the top opening of the handle, and
while grasping the handle, one finger can be placed in Release Rings so that
removing the device and ensuring the Claw Locks are open can be done in one
fluid motion.
7. Connects the Upper Part to the backboard – starting on the side closest to user.
Listens for click.
§
Key points:
Ÿ
The purpose of attaching the side closest to the user first is to allow manual
compressions to continue with minimal interruptions while the person applying the
LUCAS device swings the other Support Leg through the other rescuer’s arms.
Ÿ
If necessary, the other rescuer, when they are stopping manual CPR, can grab the
Support Leg and help guide it into position.
8. Pulls up once to ensure attachment

of the Suction Cup and lifting when device is in ADJUST mode.

mode until the pressure pad inside the Suction Cup touches the patient’s chest.

Valve Mask) and users can switch to continuous without having to pause
compressions once an advanced airway is in place.
