Introduction
Introduction
The Physio-Control TrueCPR coaching device provides rescuers with real-time feedback on chest
compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in accordance with current CPR guidelines.
IMPORTANT!
Read these instructions carefully before use, and keep for future reference.
These operating instructions provide procedural steps for proper use of the TrueCPR device, and can be
used for training purposes. Operators should read these instructions and be thoroughly familiar with the
device before use.
Intended Use
The TrueCPR device is intended to provide feedback to assist rescuers to perform CPR. Rescuers must
be trained in CPR and use of the device.
The TrueCPR device is intended for use on patients eight years of age and older.
Indications
The TrueCPR device is indicated for use on patients in cardiac arrest (unconscious, pulseless, not
breathing normally).
Operating Principle
The TrueCPR device consists of a chest pad, which is placed on the sternum, and a back pad, which is
placed beneath the patient. The device determines the depth of chest compressions during CPR by
measuring the distance between the chest pad and back pad. The device measures distance by sending
and receiving electromagnetic signals between the chest pad and back pad.
