All operators must read the complete
Instructions for Use before operating
the LUCAS chest compression system.
This PowerPoint does not replace the
Instructions for Use document.

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 3
•Effective, consistent, and continuous chest
compressions as recommended in the
American Heart Association guidelines and
the European Resuscitation Council guidelines
•LUCAS can be used in a wide variety of
situations and settings: on the scene, during
patient movement, during transportation in
road and air ambulances, hospitals, and
catheterization laboratories

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 4
•Minimize pauses in chest compressions
•Depth 2.0-2.4 inches
•Rate 100-120 per min
•Full chest recoil
•Avoid excessive ventilation
(30:2 or 10 per min)
AHA/ERC Guidelines 2015

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 5
•The setup options are optional
•If NOT applied, the device will operate according to its factory default settings,
which are identical to LUCAS 3, v3.0 and LUCAS 2, v2.2
•The training, application steps, and user interface remains the same as LUCAS 3
and LUCAS 2 devices
Important user information
Setup options LUCAS 3, v3.1

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 6
Adult patients with acute circulatory arrest:
•Absence of spontaneous breathing
•Absence of pulse
•Loss of consciousness
LUCAS must only be used in cases
where chest compressions are likely
to help the patient.
The LUCAS device is intended for use as
an adjunct to manual CPR when effective
manual CPR is not possible (e.g., during
patient transport, extended CPR, fatigue,
insufficient personnel).
Intended use

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 7
Do not use the LUCAS chest compression system in these cases:
•If it is not possible to position the LUCAS device safely or correctly on the patient’s chest
•Too small patient
-If LUCAS alerts with 3 fast signals when lowering the suction cup and you cannot
enter the PAUSE mode or ACTIVE mode
•Too large patient
-If you cannot lock the LUCAS upper part to back plate without compressing
the patient’s chest
Always follow local and/or international guidelines for CPR when you use the
LUCAS chest compression system.
Contraindications

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 8
The International Liaison Committee on
Resuscitation (ILCOR) states these side
effects of CPR1:
“Rib fractures and other injuries are common
but acceptable consequences of CPR given the
alternative of death from cardiac arrest. After
resuscitation, all patients should be reassessed
and reevaluated for resuscitation-related injuries.”
Apart from the above, skin abrasions, bruising,
and soreness of the chest are common during
the use of the LUCAS chest compression system.
Side effects

LUCAS 3 orientation guide 9
•Sternum height of 6.7 to 11.9 inches
-Too small patient - If LUCAS alerts with 3 fast signals when lowering the
suction cup and you cannot enter the PAUSE mode or ACTIVE mode
•A maximum chest width of 17.7 inches
-Too large patient - If you cannot lock the LUCAS upper part to back plate
without compressing the patient’s chest
The use of the LUCAS device is not restricted by patient weight.

Main components
The main parts of the LUCAS chest compression system include:
•An upper part which contains the proprietary and
rechargeable LUCAS battery and the compression
mechanism with the disposable suction cup
•A stabilization strap which helps secure the position
of the device in relation to the patient
•A back plate which is positioned underneath the
patient as a support for the external chest compressions
•A carrying case
