Warnings and cautions
This user guide uses the following conventions to indicate important information:
WARNING. Warnings indicate events or conditions that can result in serious injury or death, or severe damage
to the equipment.
Caution. Cautions indicate information for safe operation, proper performance, or avoiding actions that can
result in damage to the equipment.
WARNING. Compared to manual chest compression recommendations by the American Heart Association
(2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC), the AutoPulse NXT System delivers circumferential adult chest
compressions at a lower frequency and, for chest sizes below 10 inches, to a shallower depth of compression.
The AutoPulse NXT System’s compression rate is 80 ±5 compressions per minute, and it provides chest
displacement equal to a 20% reduction in a patient’s anterior-posterior chest depth.
WARNING. The system is intended for use on adults. See “Intended patients” on page 2.
WARNING. When CPR is indicated, start immediately. Do not postpone.
WARNING. Use the system only in cases that manual CPR would normally be initiated. Personnel certified in
manual CPR must always be present during system operation.
WARNING. If you are unable to use the system, immediately revert to manual CPR. Patient harm can occur if
CPR is delayed. Check the battery charge status (Table 5.1 on page 25) on the "User control panel" (page 10).
Replace the battery if needed. If no battery replacement is needed, turn the platform off and on.
WARNING. If the alert indicator is flashing during operation, immediately revert to manual CPR.
WARNING. In the event the platform overheats, check the platform and assess the patient to protect against
the potential risk of skin burns.
WARNING. To minimize the impact on run time from high ambient temperatures, store the device in a cool
and dry environment.
WARNING. The platform is not intended to be the sole means of carrying the patient. To carry the patient,
secure the platform to a transportation device, such as the AutoPulse NXT Quick case carry sheet, gurney, or
backboard. During transport, perform regular checks of the patient’s alignment.
WARNING. Do not alter the platform, battery, battery charger, or band.
WARNING. Do not use the system in an atmosphere with 25% oxygen, near flammable liquids or agents
(such as gasoline), due to fire hazard.
WARNING. Failure to properly position the edge of the band at the patient’s armpit line may result in insuffi -
cient compressions and may cause serious internal injuries.
Caution. United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed physician.
