7. Using the System
This chapter provides information on:
Required materials
The following are required for each treatment session :
• Platform
• Battery
• Band
Note. Always carry at least one spare band and battery.
Setting up the system
To prepare the system for use:
1. Inspect the platform for visible damage.
2. Ensure the "Battery status indicators" (page 25) show four bars, a fully charged battery.
3. Install the band on the platform. See “Installing the band” on page 16.
4. Insert the battery into the platform. See “Installing and removing the battery” on page 25.
5. Turn on the platform.
6. Check that the alert indicator on the user control panel is not illuminated or flashing. See
“Troubleshooting the platform” on page 6 3 .
Deploying the system
In order to deploy the system quickly and with the least interruption in cardiac compressions, a pit crew model
similar to that which is used in auto racing – is suggested for the roles and positions of users performing
compressions and using the system. Your ZOLL representative can provide appropriate instructions based on
the setting where you work (EMS or hospital) and the number of clinicians who typically deal with sudden
cardiac
arrest. Each organization should determine how this type of model can be integrated into the roles
performed by its resuscitation team. Practice as a team using this model to streamline actions and ensure
rapid,
efficient deployment.
Average deployment time from manual CPR to mechanical CPR is five seconds.
