Intended Use
The CPRmeter 2 with Q-CPR®technology is a small, lightweight
device powered by replaceable batteries. The device is intended for
use by responders who have been trained in CPR and use of the
CPRmeter 2.
When attached to the bare chest of a suspected victim of sudden
cardiac arrest (SCA), the CPRmeter 2 provides real-time feedback
on CPR compressions in accordance with current CPR guidelines.
It displays CPR feedback indicators for depth, release, and rate of
chest compressions. It also counts the number of compressions in a
series, and provides notification of lack of expected CPR activity.
If in doubt about the appropriateness for use, perform CPR without
using the CPRmeter 2.
Indication for Use
The CPRmeter 2 is used as a guide in administering cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) to a suspected SCA victim at least 8 years old.

Getting Started
12

Use the heel of the hand and apply pressure
to the light grey area.
Begin CPR.
Provide chest

Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
• Do not use the device in conjunction with any mechanical or
automated compression device.
• Do not use the device on top of defibrillation pads, unless the
manufacturer of the defibrillator and the defibrillation pads has
explicitly stated that the device can be used in such manner.
• Do not delay CPR. If there are any problems using the device,
continue CPR without it.
• If the device appears to be damaged e.g. develops cracks or sharp
edges, do not use.
Cautions
• If difficulty is encountered in applying the device, do not delay
initiation of CPR. Remove the device and begin compressions.
• An orange status light indicates a technical error. If this occurs, stop
using the CPRmeter 2 and continue CPR. Contact Laerdal technical
support after the event.

On Soft Surface
If the CPRmeter 2 detects a compression that exceeds 60 mm (2.36"),
it will show the depth indicator below the target area. If a specific
CPR event requires CPR to be performed on a patient lying on a
mattress, slide a backboard under the patient and compensate for
the mattress softness by ensuring that for each chest compression
the area below the compression depth target lights up.
Warning
When performing CPR on a patient lying on a mattress, a backboard
must be used to limit the amount of compressed depth which is
absorbed by the mattress. Depending on characteristics of the mattress,
backboard and patient, the depth compensation does not guarantee
that the patient chest is compressed by 50 mm (2").

During a cycle of 30 compressions, the counter changes to solid
white between 25 and 30 compressions. Beyond 30 compressions,
the counter digits flash solid white for every tenth compression.
Without a compression the counter is reset after 3 seconds.
Inactivity
• After 3 seconds the CPRmeter 2 displays an inactivity timer
which counts the seconds since the last compression.
• After 20 seconds since the last compression, the inactivity timer
starts flashing.
• To conserve battery power the CPRmeter 2 display fades down
after 1 minute.The display is restored when a new compression
is delivered.The device shuts down automatically after 10 minutes
without compressions performed.
