Intended Use of the TrueCPR Device
The TrueCPR device is indicated for use on patients in cardiac arrest (unconscious, pulseless, not breathing normally).
The TrueCPR device is not intended for use on children or infants. Only use the device on patients who are 8 years of
age or older.
The TrueCPR device provides coaching and feedback to assist rescuers in performing CPR. Rescuers must be trained in
CPR and the use of the device.
If at any time rescuers are unable to use the device, they should perform CPR unaided.
Getting Started
TrueCPR provides coaching and feedback for compression rate and depth. It does not provide feedback on complete
compression release (recoil).
Turn on the device by pressing the green button.

####
Allow the device to perform self-calibration. Do not apply pressure to the chest pad until calibration is complete and the
feedback screen appears (approximately 3 seconds).
Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to turn o the device.

Compression Depth Indicators
Correct : The gray fan moves toward the green target zone.
Gray fan represents compression depth in progress as it
moves across the dial.
Target zone changes from light to dark green when the
compression reaches the target depth of 2-2.4 in (5-6 cm)
Incorrect
Orange arrow means push deeper. Dark gray segment
in outer circle indicates previous compression was too
shallow.
Orange wedge outside compression target zone means
reduce depth; compressions are too deep 2.4 in (>6cm).

The TrueCPR device indicates compression depth and rate on the dial. It does not indicate recoil.
The recoil reminder (hands icon with arrow) is always present during compressions.
The gray fan gets lighter and disappears when it approaches the hands icon.
The hands icon is a reminder to continue to lift your hands until you have no pressure on the chest/device.
