Intended Use
The CPRmeter 2 with Q-CPR®technology is a small, lightweight
device powered by a replaceable battery. 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 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 sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
victim at least 8 years old.
Warning
The CPRmeter 2 is not intended for use on SCA victims under 8 years old.
Note
CPR cannot assure survival, no matter how well it is performed. In
some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is not
survivable despite any available care.
Rx Only (USA)
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of
a physician.

Cautions
• Ensure Patient Adhesives are
within their expiration date.
• Adhesives should be removed
from the device and disposed
of after 2 years.

Getting Started CPRmeter 2 Placement
Note
• Remove the device from its protective cover.
• Ensure the patient is on a firm surface.
• Remove clothing from the patient’s chest.
Turn On
Place CPRmeter 2
If needed, wipe
fluids off the chest.
Ensure to use the heel of your hand and apply pressure
to the light grey area.
Begin CPR.
Provide chest
compressions
according to your
CPR protocol.
Status Light turns green
for a few seconds,
when CPRmeter 2 is
turned on.

CPRmeter 2 Placement Feedback Display Overview
Cautions
• If the CPRmeter 2 moves during use, re-position it to the center of
the chest, as shown.
• If difficulty is encountered in applying the device, do not delay
initiation of CPR. Remove the device and begin compressions.
• If the device's status light is orange and the CPRmeter display is
dark, stop using the CPRmeter and continue CPR. Contact Laerdal
for technical support after the event.
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 you experience any problems using the device,
continue CPR without it. If the device appears to be damaged, do
not use.

Depth
Release
On Soft Surface
If the CPRmeter 2 detects a compression that exceeds 70 mm (2.75"),
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").

Compression Counter
When compressions are started a counter will display grey up to
25 compressions.

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.
• After 1 minute, the CPRmeter 2 display fades down to
conserve battery power. The display is restored when a new
compression is delivered.
