Lifeline ARM Highlight

The Lifeline ARM has a simple, user-friendly Control Panel with just two steps needed to initiate mechanical CPR. Toggling between the two protocols during the rescue is allowed, to accommodate your breath or non-breath resuscitation protocol. And, at any time, the Pause button may be used to pause or resume compressions.

A USB port on the Compression Module enhances the Lifeline ARM’s serviceability in the field and makes it adaptable to future resuscitation requirements. Maintenance functions, such as retrieval of event data and software upgrades, can be performed via a personal computer with the Defibtech ACC Support Software. A handy Service Indicator light on the Compression Module alerts users when its time for periodic servicing.

The Lifeline ARM supports event capture and post-event review. A USB port on the Compression Module provides for data logging downloads of event information through a connection to a personal computer loaded with Defibtech ACC Support Software.

Advanced battery technology and flexible power options means the Lifeline ARM will always be ready for rescue. The rechargeable battery pack provides unmatched operational times and long service life even in a wide temperature range. The battery pack can be hot-swapped in action, or operate on external AC power if needed. An optional charging station can charge up to two battery packs: recharge one depleted battery pack in 2 hours, or two depleted battery packs in 3 hours.

Lightweight and sturdy, the Frame’s single-piece design provides structural integrity during compressions by supporting the Compression Piston without deflection or distortion that could reduce consistent compression depth, a crucial element for effective CPR. For quicker deployment and repacking, the Frame effortlessly snaps into the Backboard and releases just as easily.

During an emergency rescue, the pace is fast and furious. The Lifeline ARM Chest Compression Device comes with a red canvas carrying case designed for backpack portability and visibility. The structured bag contains a custom solid foam insert for holding the ARM components, making the device portable, easy to deploy and use, and pack up quickly.

The elegant design of the Lifeline ARM device affords portability, speedy deployment, and smooth, consistent operation. The Frame’s single-piece design provides an incredibly strong platform for effective mechanical CPR. The Compression Module houses the Control Panel, a removable and rechargeable battery pack, and the piston used to generate the chest compressions. the modular design of the Compression Piston has many benefits, particularly during deployment and repacking. It allows the Frame and Backboard to be attached to the patient and aligned before adding the Compression Module. It also makes regular serving easier and less intrusive.

The Lifeline ARM is comprised of a state-of-the-art Compression Module and a specially designed Frame. A custom piston and brushless DC motor results in smooth, reliable operation. To ensure CPR efficacy, a smart, software-driven, motor control algorithm ensures compression depth and rate consistency by compensating for variability in chest resistance.

The Lifeline ARM is designed to accommodate local resuscitation protocols. In accordance with your response procedure, you may use the Control Panel to select chest compressions only (no breathing) or chest compressions with rescue breaths, according to the compressions-with-breaths protocol. When using the compressions-with-breaths protocol, a reminder chirp and flashing LED notify the rescuer during the three compressions prior to the device pausing for the operator to give rescue breaths. If needed, the user may toggle between the two protocols during the rescue.

The structural design and materials of the Frame + Backboard means an extremely durable and impact-resistant device, making it one tough unit. Built to exacting standards, the Lifeline ARM Chest Compression Device is manufactured to withstand small particulates and water spray, and meets military standards for shock and vibration testing.
