LUCAS

2 Chest Compression System – Instructions for Use

5.6.4 Move the patient

LUCAS can be active while you move the
patient if:

• LUCAS and the patient are safely posi-

tioned on the transportation device

• LUCAS stays in the correct position and

angle on the patient's chest

If necessary, adjust the position of the
Suction Cup.

WARNING - CHANGED POSITION
DURING OPERATION
If the position of the Suction Cup changes
during operation or during defibrillation,
immediately push ADJUST and adjust the
position. Always use the LUCAS Stabilization
Strap to help secure the correct position.

5.7 Replace the Power Supply

during operation

When the Battery charge is low, LUCAS
alarms with an intermittent orange LED and
an alarm signal.

5.7.1 Change the Battery

Keep interruptions to a minimum while
changing the Battery.

Note: To minimize interruptions, we
recommend to always have a charged spare
LUCAS Battery in the Carrying Bag.

1. Push PAUSE to temporarily stop the

compressions.

2. Pull the Battery out and then upwards

to remove it.

3. Install a fully-charged LUCAS Battery.

Put it in from above.

4. Wait until the green PAUSE mode LED

illuminates.

5. Push ACTIVE (continuous) or

ACTIVE (30:2) to start the chest com-
pressions again. The LUCAS Smart Re-
start feature remembers the settings and
Start Position for 60 seconds.

Note: If the Battery change takes more than
60 seconds, LUCAS does a self test and you

must adjust the Start Position again.
