Caution:
United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed physician.
Caution:
The AutoPulse is designed to be used only with ZOLL-approved accessories. The AutoPulse
will perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
Caution:
Only use ZOLL Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse. The use of other
batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse and will void the warranty.

not
twisted before automatic compressions begin.

not
submerge the AutoPulse Platform in liquid.
Caution:
Use care while using sharp instruments around the LifeBand.

Caution:
Do not use the AutoPulse alone as a patient transportation aid.
Caution:
Straps or restraints used for transportation purposes
must not interfere
with the operation of
the AutoPulse. Specifically, straps across the patient’s chest may restrict the compression/
decompression of the chest. In general, strapping schemes must not alter the alignment of the
patient to the AutoPulse.
Warning:
•
If a user advisory or fault cannot be cleared or a system error occurs during active operation,
immediately revert to manual CPR.

Do not strap across, or otherwise constrain, the LifeBand. Constraining the movement of the
LifeBand can damage or break the LifeBand.

Failure to properly position a patient, both vertically and laterally with respect to the
AutoPulse Platform, may cause injury to the patient.

adjustment.

Do not place your hands or any other objects on or under the LifeBand while the AutoPulse
is analyzing the patient or during active operation.

Operating the AutoPulse on a patient for extended periods of time may result in minor skin
irritation to the patient.
•
Check the patient’s chest rise during ventilation during active operation.
