2-Product Description

2.1 Life-Stat® Cardiopulmonary Resuscitator


The Michigan Instruments, Inc. Life-Stat® is the latest model of our portable, automatic
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) medical devices which have been in use since 1964.

2.2 General Description


The Life-Stat® system provides consistent CPR support for cardiac arrest patients under conditions
which might otherwise hinder the effectiveness of manual techniques. The Life-Stat® performs two
modes of CPR support in conformance with AHA CPR guidelines. In either mode, compressions are
delivered at a frequency of 100 per minute.

• 30:2 mode will provide thirty (30) chest compressions, then pause compressions to deliver two
(2) ventilations. This 30 to 2 pattern will repeat continuously.
• CCV mode will provide continuous compressions with asynchronous ventilations delivered at 9
breaths per minute.

The Life-Stat® is a mechanical “automatic” CPR device that can be set up in seconds. The chest
compressor is powered by compressed Oxygen while timing is controlled by a 9V electronic circuit.
The device is electrically insulated, allowing it to be freely and safely used in conjunction with routine
patient monitoring, external pacing and defibrillation procedures. The Life-Stat®, once correctly
applied over the patient’s sternum, is designed to measure the patient’s anterior-posterior (A-P) chest
diameter and deliver the equivalent sternal deflection of 20% of that diameter.

NOTE: 2010 AHA Guidelines recommend for adult patients, a minimum


compression depth of at least 2" (5cm). If the A-P chest diameter number indicated
on the Life-Stat® is less than 5, then deliver compressions minimally to the depth
indicated by the -5- marking on the dome.

2.3 Life-Stat® System Components and Accessories

The Life-Stat® System consists of three major components:


• Life-Stat® (Arm/Column/Base Assembly)
• BackBoard (BackBoard/Shoulder Straps)
• Mobile Oxygen Carrier / appropriate O2 wall access adaptor.

A fourth component, the Carrying/Storage Case is available to transport/store the device when not in
use.

REV: 2013-06 9
2.3.1 Life-Stat® System

The Arm and Column positions the Piston and Massager Pad correctly over the patient’s sternum. It is
designed to provide a sternal deflection percentage based on the patient A-P chest diameter. Sternal
deflection is nominally set to 20% of the A-P diameter. The depth of each chest compression is easily
monitored using the markings on the Dome surrounding the Piston. The Column also serves as a
storage tank that holds sufficient Oxygen to continue to drive the Life-Stat® for several compressions
during an Oxygen source change.

2.3.2 Controls and Labeling

The Life-Stat® controls are located on the back of the Arm.

Control Panel

1. SYSTEM CONTROL (Control#1): This membrane keypad is used to control the Life-Stat®. It
is comprised of 5 electronic buttons, described below.

START/ON button. Pressing this button will activate the electronic control module
and perform a self test. The green LED indicator next to the button will illuminate to
indicate that the unit is on after completion of a successful self test.

STOP/OFF button. Pressing this button will return the chest compressor piston to the
‘up’ position, turn off the ventilator and shut down the electronic control module.

30:2 button. Pressing this button will activate the 30 compressions to 2 ventilations
operating mode and the blue LED indicator next to the button will illuminate.

CCV button. Pressing this button will activate the Continuous Compressions/
Ventilations operating mode and the blue LED indicator next to the button will
illuminate.

PAUSE button. Pressing this button will return the chest compressor piston to the ‘up’
position and pause compressions. Ventilations will continue and the yellow LED
indicator next to the button will illuminate. To resume compressions, press the desired
mode button (30:2 or CCV).

LOW BATTERY indicator. The red LED indicator will illuminate when the battery
voltage is too low to sufficiently power the device. When the power level reaches a
critical stage, an auto shutdown will bring the chest compressor piston to the ‘up’
position; turn off the ventilator and the electronic control module.

REV: 2013-06 11
2. COMPRESSION DEPTH (Control #2): This control is used
for setting the depth of compression on the patient. The depth is
set to correspond to the measured A-P diameter shown on the
scale located on the back of the Column. As indicated by the
arrow, turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression
depth and counterclockwise to decrease compression depth.

A
B
B C

NOTE: After the massager pad has been lowered to the patient's chest, the correct patient A-P
chest diameter is determined by locating the number on the back of the Column (A) just above
the Arm where the white arrows (B) are located. Set the compression depth to the
corresponding indicator number on the Dome (C) to match the A-P diameter number
indicated on the Column.

3. VENTILATION VOLUME (Control #3): This control


adjusts the tidal volume (0-1000mL) of Oxygen delivered to
the patient from the PDV. The tidal volume is increased with
a clockwise rotation and decreased with a counterclockwise
rotation. With the control in the fully counterclockwise
position, no (0mL) tidal volume is delivered.

WARNING: Before operation, ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” or
“decreased” (fully counterclockwise) position before connecting to an Oxygen supply
or placing the unit on the patient. By verifying the position of all controls the
operator is assured of proper operation.

REV: 2013-06 12
2.3.3 Battery Power Supply

The Life-Stat® electronic control module is powered by two (2) 9V alkaline batteries.

CAUTION: Do NOT use excessive force to install the battery in the tray. Ensure the
polarity is oriented per the label and to the diagram embossed on the bottom of the tray (+
on left, - on right). Failure to install either battery in the correct position will prevent the
device from operating and may lead to failure of the device which will void the warranty.

The batteries that power the electronic module are located on either side of
the Arm.

CAUTION: Only use batteries that conform fully to


IEC 60086-2 or ANSI C18.1M.

To install/replace the batteries:


1. To access the battery, place fingernail into slot
near bottom of the battery compartment and push
upwards slightly to release the tray.
2. Pull out the battery tray. Install the battery by
orienting it to the diagram. The battery tray is spring
loaded to keep the battery secure. Ensure the battery
is properly seated.
3. Re-insert the tray and push in until an audible click is heard ensuring the tray is properly seated
inside the compartment.
4. Repeat for the battery located on the opposite side.

Important Battery Information:

• Always use name brand batteries of the same brand and type. Never install generic and/or
differing brand batteries together.
• Always replace BOTH batteries with fresh new ones. Never install just one fresh battery and
leave a used battery in the opposite side.
• ALWAYS operate the device with BOTH batteries installed and of equal strength.

WARNING: Operating the device with only one battery installed is not advised. If
only one battery is installed and coincidentally removed during operation when
performing a “Hot Swap”, the device could possibly stop in a “piston down” position
requiring removal of O2 Supply Hose from the base of the device to release the
piston. ALWAYS OPERATE the device with BOTH BATTERIES INSTALLED.

• Always use 9V alkaline batteries. Do not mix battery types.


• Do NOT use re-chargeable batteries of ANY type.
• The battery trays are not tethered to the compartments. Take care when removing them to
ensure they are not lost or damaged.

REV: 2013-06 13
• If stored for extended periods with batteries installed, inspect both batteries prior to use to
ensure they have not corroded.
• Dispose of used batteries properly.

2.4 Important Safety Features

Changing a battery during operation -- Should a low battery level occur during resuscitation
efforts, either battery may be removed and replaced, (one at a time), from its compartment and a fresh
battery can be “hot swapped’ providing uninterrupted CPR.

WARNING: The “Hot Swap” should ONLY be performed when it is KNOWN


that both batteries are installed and have equal energy. If no battery power is
available, the device will stop without resetting. This could result in a “piston
down” position requiring removal of the O2 Supply Hose from the base of the
device to release the piston.

To “Hot Swap” the battery

1. Remove only one battery tray from either side of the Life-Stat® allowing the battery installed
on the opposing side to continue to power the device.
2. Remove the used battery by pushing it back against the retaining spring and lifting up.
3. Insert a fresh battery in its place ensuring it is oriented properly (+ on left, - on right) per the
diagram embossed on the bottom of the tray.
4. Re-insert the tray until a click is heard to ensure it is seated properly.
5. Discard the used battery appropriately when convenient.

The opposing battery may be ‘hot-swapped’ also following the above steps at this time. If it is not
replaced immediately, install a fresh battery as soon as possible to ensure both batteries are fresh.

After replacement of either or both batteries, the LOW BATT LED will remain illuminated for
approximately 2 - 5 minutes.

Auto Shutdown feature-- When the batteries reach a critical low level condition, the Life-Stat® will
initiate an auto shutdown procedure. If the Life-Stat® is not physically turned off via the STOP/OFF
button on the System Control (#1) keypad –or- the batteries are not ‘hot-swapped’ out as explained
above, the compressor piston will return to the ‘up’ position, the ventilator will turn off, and the
electronic control module will automatically shut down.

Also, if the unit is turned on (the START/ON button is pressed) but no CPR mode (30;2 or CCV) is
selected within 16 minutes, the device will shutdown to conserve the batteries.

Service Interval Indicator— After the Life-Stat® has delivered over 1,000,000 (1 million) cycles, the
START/ON LED indicator will flash. It is recommended to return the device to the factory for service
after this occurs. The Life-Stat® will continue to function, however diminished performance may
result if the recommended service is not performed to replace potentially worn components.

REV: 2013-06 14
2.5 The BackBoard
The BackBoard is intended for either manual or mechanical CPR. It is designed to provide a firm,
non-rebounding surface upon which CPR can be performed, and introduces a slight hyperextension of
the patient’s neck to facilitate upper airway management. It allows use of the Life-Stat® on either side
of the patient. Two shoulder straps help immobilize the patient securing them to the BackBoard. The
cross strap helps to keep the shoulder straps from separating and indicates the position of the head
relative to the BackBoard.

NOTE: Optimal Life-Stat® CPR performance requires use of the BackBoard.

2.6 Mobile Oxygen Carrier (MOC), or Appropriate Wall Access Adapter


The Life-Stat® is equipped with an O2 Supply Hose used to connect the device to a source of compressed
medical Oxygen. It incorporates couplers on each end and a check valve to retain the Oxygen during a
source change. Wall adapters are available that connect to the O2 Supply Hose to allow connection to the
various and most common hospital (and ambulance) Oxygen pipeline systems.

The Mobile Oxygen Carrier is an Oxygen tank carrier, available in two configurations, which provide
constant pressure and high flow source gas for the Life-Stat® and an additional DISS outlet. It is
designed to power the Life-Stat® whenever the device is in use where no Oxygen pipeline source is
available (for example, when transporting a cardiac arrest patient from the scene to the ambulance and
from the ambulance to the hospital). One of the two outlets is dedicated to accept the Life-Stat® O2
Supply Hose, while the other DISS outlet is available to supply other Oxygen-driven devices. MOC
regulator(s) are preset to satisfy Life-Stat® requirements.

3-Setup and Operation
3.1 Precautions
Before setting up and using the Life-Stat®, there are several important precautions that must be
observed at all times.

1. The Life-Stat® must only be used in cases of clinical death as defined by lack of spontaneous
breathing and pulse.

2. Manual CPR should be started on the patient immediately. Do not postpone CPR while waiting
for the Life-Stat®. The Life-Stat® can be easily set up and applied to the patient without
interrupting manual CPR efforts.

3. The Life-Stat® may be used in all cases with adult patients where manual CPR would normally be
initiated. However, there are situations where CPR is not the appropriate method of intervention.
Familiarity with accepted medical practices in your area is very important.

4. Personnel certified in manual CPR must always be present to monitor the patient during Life-Stat®
operation in the event of a mechanical failure.

5. When transporting a patient with the Life-Stat® in operation using the BackBoard, ensure the patient is
secured snugly to the BackBoard using the provided shoulder straps. Also, ensure the patient is
properly secured (using retention straps) to the stretcher as well. Failure to do so can allow the Life-
Stat® and BackBoard to shift position on the patient possibly causing the Massager Pad to wander off
of the patient’s sternum.

6. When applying the Life-Stat® to an obese patient, place the arm of the patient around the Life-Stat® so
that the Column is positioned near the arm pit of the patient. This will better facilitate positioning the
Massager Pad directly over the patient’s sternum.

REV: 2013-06 17
3.2 Recommendations
It is recommended that the Arm/Column of the Life-Stat®
be attached to the Base while stored in the Carrying/Storage
Case.

Additionally, the Arm should be positioned over the Base


so that it is perpendicular to the O2 Supply Connector
located at the bottom of the Column. Lower the Arm until
the white arrow is positioned at the -4- location on the
Column and lock in place.

By doing so, the Life-Stat® is ideally positioned to expedite


removal from the Carrying/Storage case and application to O2 Supply
the patient. Connector

When placing the BackBoard under the patient, ensure the cross strap is positioned under the patient's
neck. Do not position the cross strap over the neck of the patient.

Correct Cross
Strap Position

Training with a CPR Manikin can be beneficial in becoming familiar with:


 Setup on the patient using the BackBoard
 Transitioning from manual CPR to mechanical CPR
 Setting the compression depth and delivering ventilations
 Interventions such as pausing operation to monitor the patient
 Performing the ‘hot swap’ of a battery

REV: 2013-06 18
3.3 Positioning the Patient
The following steps are provided as a recommendation.

1. When applying the BackBoard, “Log roll” the patient into position, taking care to keep the cervical
spine immobilized.

WARNING: When moving a patient in cases of suspected C-spine injury,


always support the patient’s head in a neutral position.

2. Place the BackBoard under the patient orienting the head of the patient in the direction indicated by
the HEAD marking on the cross strap. Ensure the cross strap is positioned under the patient's neck.
Connect the retaining straps over the shoulder and under the arm pit of the patient, then buckle and
tighten the straps securely on both sides of the patient.

3. Secure the patient to the spine board with retention straps at the forehead, hips and feet.

WARNING: Do not place retention straps or other restraints over the


patient’s abdominal area. Tight garments around the abdomen should be
removed or loosened.

4. Manual CPR can begin on the patient immediately. There is no need to postpone CPR while
waiting for Life-Stat® deployment and application to the patient.

REV: 2013-06 19
3.4 Life-Stat® Deployment
3.4.1 Life-Stat® Setup:
A. Remove the Life-Stat® from the Case.

Press for
OFF

B. Ensure the System C. Ensure Controls (#2) &


Control (#1) is OFF. (#3) are both turned fully
counterclockwise.

D. Attach the Breathing Hose/Non Re-breathing valve (and mask,


if used) to the PDV.

E. Ensure the Oxygen source is energized then attach the O2


Supply Hose to the Oxygen source. Pull the collar back from
the O2 Source-end connector, press firmly onto the male
connector of the Oxygen source, then release the collar to
secure the connector. Pull gently on the hose to ensure a secure
connection.

F. Attach the opposite end of the hose to the Life-Stat®


O2 Supply Connector by inserting the hose
connector while slightly turning it at the same time
to align the hexagons, and then press firmly to attach. Pull
gently on hose to ensure a secure connection. Do not press the
release button while attaching the connector. Only press the
release button to disconnect the connector.

G. Verify that the green Pressure Indicator located on the top of the
column shows an adequate input pressure is available.

REV: 2013-06 20
CAUTION: The Life-Stat® requires a medical grade Oxygen source capable of
delivering pressure from 50 to 90 psi (3.515 to 6.327 kgf/cm2), with a minimum flow
rate of at least 45 LPM. Always follow safe Oxygen handling practices with Oxygen
cylinders and regulators.

3.4.2 Life-Stat® Application to the Patient:

A. Before inserting the Life-Stat® into the BackBoard, ensure the


Arm is raised to and locked near the top of the Column and
positioned so that the dome is towards the patient’s feet. NOTE:
When oriented in this position, the Life-Stat® is top-heavy and
prone to fall over. Grasp the Life-Stat® at the Base and Handle.

B. Insert the Base into the side slot of the BackBoard on whichever
side of the patient is most convenient.

C. With the Base fully inserted into the BackBoard and during a
pause in the manual CPR effort, loosen the Arm Lock and swing
the Arm over the patient’s chest locating the Massager Pad over
the sternum, as you would for the heel of your hand when
performing manual CPR.

D. Lower the Arm until the Massager Pad contacts the patient’s
chest. Then, apply slight downward pressure on the Arm to
position the Piston inside the Dome to align with the “-” mark on
the Dome. Tighten the Arm Lock Lever.

WARNING: The Massager Pad must not extend over the


xiphoid process. This could result in injury to the patient.

REV: 2013-06 21
WARNING: Injury to patient may occur if Arm is adjusted too low,
as indicated by the top of the Piston moving up beyond “-” on the
Dome.

WARNING: Patient chest compressions may be insufficient to be


effective if Arm is adjusted too high as indicated by the top of the
Piston not moving up to “-” on the Dome.

WARNING: Patient is more likely to shift from optimum position


relative to Massager Pad if Arm is adjusted too high, as indicated by
the top of the Piston not moving up to “-” on the Dome.

CAUTION: If the Arm Lock Lever is not securely tightened, Arm


height or Massager Pad location may shift position relative to the
patient.

3.4.3 Determine Compression Depth:

Determine the depth of compression by referring to


the Sternal Deflection Number located on the scale
on the back of the Column. The white arrows
indicate the depth required to provide the 20% A-P
sternal deflection for the patient.

WARNING: Do NOT use the Life-Stat® if the white arrows indicate


in the red area of the scale.

NOTE: 2010 AHA Guidelines recommend for adult patients, a minimum


compression depth of at least 2" (5cm). If the A-P chest diameter number
indicated on the Life-Stat® is less than 5, then deliver compressions
minimally to the depth indicated by the -5- marking on the dome.

3.4.4 Life-Stat® Activation:

WARNING: Failure to ensure that the COMPRESSION DEPTH knob


(Control #2) is turned fully counterclockwise upon initial application to the
patient and prior to selecting a CPR mode via the SYSTEM CONTROL #1 will
deliver compressions to the patient at the depth last set by Control #2. This
depth may not be set for the correct A-P Diameter and could possibly cause
serious damage or inhibit resuscitating the patient.

REV: 2013-06 22
WARNING: Failure to ensure that the VENTILATION VOLUME knob
(Control #3) is turned fully counterclockwise upon initial application to the
patient and prior to selecting a CPR mode via the SYSTEM CONTROL #1
will deliver ventilations to the patient (if the breathing hose is applied to the
patient) at the tidal volume last set by Control #3. This setting may not be
correct and could deliver either excessive or insufficient tidal volumes to the
patient.

With the SYSTEM CONTROL (#1) in the STOP/OFF position:


A. Ensure:
a. COMPRESSION DEPTH knob (#2) is rotated fully counterclockwise
b. VENTILATION VOLUME knob (#3) is rotated fully counterclockwise
c. The pressure Indicator at the top of the Column shows “green” indicating adequate O2
pressure.

B. Press the START/ON button on the SYSTEM CONTROL (#1) keypad. The system will
perform a quick self check. When the system is ready the green LED indicator next to the
START/ON button will illuminate.

C. Choose the desired CPR mode by pressing the desired mode button (30:2 or CCV). The blue
LED indicator near the selected mode button will illuminate.

D. Rotate COMPRESSION DEPTH knob (#2) clockwise until sufficient compression depth is
demonstrated by viewing the Piston at eye level. Increase the depth until the top of the Piston
reaches the A-P Diameter Sternal Deflection Number on the Dome corresponding to the Sternal
Deflection Number reading taken from the scale on the back of the Column. This will deliver the
recommended A-P Diameter for the patient.

WARNING: Injury to patient may occur if compression depth is set too


deep or the knob is inadvertently moved clockwise.

WARNING: Patient chest compressions may be insufficient if


compression depth is set too shallow or the knob is inadvertently
moved counterclockwise.

WARNING: With the Life-Stat® in use, care must be taken to prevent


kinking or collapsing of the O2 Supply Hose.

REV: 2013-06 23
3.4.5 Life-Stat® Ventilator- Patient Demand Valve (PDV) Activation:

A. Rotate the VENTILATION VOLUME knob (#3) clockwise in accordance with AHA
guidelines, and/or local protocol to desired volume (mL).

B. Apply the Breathing Hose/Non Re-breathing Valve to the patient via mask or ET tube.

C. The ventilator contains a Pressure Limit Alarm that will sound an audible alarm when the
airway pressure exceeds 55cm H2O. Monitor the patient airway to identify the cause for the
increased pressure and take the appropriate corrective action.

WARNING: During ventilation, the operator must maintain constant


attention to ensure the patient is properly ventilated.

WARNING: Excessive ventilation may be delivered to the patient if the


ventilation volume is set too high or the knob inadvertently moved
clockwise.

WARNING: Patient ventilation may be insufficient if the ventilation


volume is set too low or the knob inadvertently moved counterclockwise.

WARNING: Should the blue rubber diaphragm blow outward from the
Pressure Limit Alarm's relief ports, discontinue the use of the Life-Stat®
ventilator. It is recommended to manually ventilate the patient until
such time that a spare replacement alarm can be installed.

CAUTION: If the maximum pressure limit is reached (the pressure limit


alarm sounds), the pre-set tidal volume may not be delivered to the
patient. No additional volume will be delivered until the next ventilation
cycle.

NOTE: An audible Pressure Limit Alarm is attached to the PDV. This


alarm sounds whenever the patient airway pressure reaches the designed
release pressure limit of 55cm H2O. The Pressure Limit Alarm will continue
to sound during the inspiratory phase until either the airway pressure
decreases or the next ventilation cycle begins.

REV: 2013-06 24
3.4.6 Procedure to Interrupt (Suspend) Compressions:

To perform pulse checks or perform analysis with an AED (and/or defibrillate manually), simply press
the PAUSE button. This will interrupt compressions only, while ventilations continue at the previous
rate and volume setting. To resume compressions, press the desired mode button (30:2 or CCV). The
same depth of compression previously set by the COMPRESSION DEPTH knob will be delivered. If
stopping the delivery of ventilations is desired temporarily, rotate the VENTILATION VOLUME
knob fully counterclockwise. To resume ventilations, rotate the VENTILATION VOLUME knob
clockwise to the desired volume.

CAUTION: When the Life-Stat® is used in conjunction with automatic


external defibrillators (AEDs), or other therapeutic devices which must
utilize an ECG signal, interruption of the cardiac compressions as
described may be required to avoid the ECG motion artifact associated
with cardiac compressions.

The Life-Stat® is electrically insulated and should cause no interference during


routine cardiac monitoring or manual defibrillation. However, conductive fluids or
gels may provide stray current paths.

WARNING: DO NOT touch the Life-Stat® during defibrillation.

3.5 To Remove the Life-Stat® from the Patient:


A. Press the STOP/OFF mode button on the SYSTEM CONTROL (#1) keypad.
B. Turn COMPRESSION DEPTH (#2) knob fully counterclockwise.
C. Turn VENTILATION VOLUME (#3) knob fully counterclockwise.
D. Disconnect the O2 Supply Hose first from the Life-Stat® O2 Supply Connector by pressing the
release button. Then, disconnect the connector from the Oxygen source by pulling the collar
back from the connector to release it.

CAUTION: Disconnecting the Oxygen hose from the Oxygen source end
first may not allow the device to properly vent the internal pneumatic
ports. Always disconnect the O2 Supply Hose from the Life-Stat® first.

calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
field strength in the location in which the Life-Stat is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Life-Stat should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
re-orienting or relocating the Life-Stat.
