1 Description and Indications for Use

The CPRmeter with Q-CPR
powered by a replaceable battery. The CPRmeter is intended for use by
responders who have been trained in CPR and use of the CPRmeter.
The CPRmeter is used as a guide in administering cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) to a suspected sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victim at
least 8 years old or 25 kg ( 55 lbs). If in doubt about the appropriateness for
use, perform CPR without using the CPRmeter.
When attached to the bare chest of a suspected victim of SCA, the
CPRmeter 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.
WARNING: The CPRmeter is not intended for use on SCA victims under 8
years old or 25 kg ( 55 lbs).
IMPORTANT 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.
