Life-Stat Mechanical CPR Vs AutoPulse & Lucas CPR Devices
| Feature | LIFE-STAT® | LIFE-STAT Advantage | AutoPulse®(1) | JOLIFE/LUCAS™(2) |
| Provide Hands-Free Fully Compliant 30:2 CPR | Yes.
Cycles 30 compressions at 100/minute*, pauses and delivers 2 ventilations. |
Electronic control coordinates chest compressions with built–in ventilator. | No.
Compressions only at 80/min. (1.4.4) No built-in coordinated ventilator. |
No.
Compressions only at 100/minute. (6.2) No built-in coordinated ventilator. |
| Provide Hands-Free fully compliant Continuous AHA CPR | Yes
Delivers 100 compressions* with 9 asynchronous ventilations per minute. |
Electronic control coordinates chest compressions with built–in ventilator. | No.
Compressions only at 80/min. (1.4.4) No built-in coordinated ventilator. |
No.
Compressions only at 100/min. (6.2) No built-in coordinated ventilator. |
| Adjustable Compression Depth | Yes.
Adjustable from 0 to 3.2 inches. |
Has the capability to adjust compression depth to accommodate patient size. | No.
Automatically set to 20% of chest depth. (1.4.4) |
No.
No adjustment. (6.2) |
| Transfer time from ManualCPR to MechanicalCPR with minimal interruption of compressions | Yes.
In ~ 5 seconds, can swing piston into position during a manual CPR ventilation phase with virtually no loss of compressions. |
Fastest switch-over from manual to mechanical CPR less likely to jeopardize effective Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP) and blood flow to the brain. | No.
Slower (usually > 30 seconds), must (a) position LifeBand® properly (3.1) and (b) make required control selection. (3.2) |
No.
Slower (~ 20 seconds), must (a) position board under patient, (b) attach side clamps and adjust piston both horizontally & vertically interrupting compressions 2 times. (3.3) |
| Can operate while attached to a spineboard | Yes.
Uses MII Patient Restraint System (PRS). |
Higher mobility in stairwells, while providing continuous CPR support, including ventilation. | Yes.
First apply AutoPulse® to patient then multiple rescuers lift patient onto transportation device and then secure patient to device. (3.6) |
Possibly.
First apply LUCAS™ to patient then 3 rescuers minimal recommended to lift patient (while stopping compressions) onto stretcher. (3.7.2) Only stretcher or ambulance cot use cited in IFU. (3.7) |
| Accommodate both small and large patients (Over 375 lbs) | Yes.
Sternum height: 4.5 to 14.5 in. (11.4 to 36.8 cm or 114 to 368 mm) Chest width range: Up to 22 in. (55.9 cm or 559 mm) No Weight limit as long as patient fits. |
EMS reports successful use on patients > 600lb. If necessary, the patient can be positioned on the LIFE-STAT® with their arm placed outside the column. | No.
Chest circumference: 29.9 to 51.2 in. (76 to 130 cm) Chest width: 9.8 to 15 in. (25 to 38 cm) (1.2) Max weight is 350 lbs. |
No.
Patient must fit into the device. Sternum height: 7.5 to 11.9 in. (190 to 303 mm) Maximal width: 17.7 in. (449 mm) (6.2) Max weight is 375 lbs. |
| Uninterrupted fully compliant AHA CPR in stairwell from a 2 rescuer transporting team | Yes. | Hands-Free CPR in any position with secured patient. Both compressions and ventilations provided in selectable 30:2 or CCV (Continuous Compressions with 9 asynchronous Ventilations per minute) mode. | No.
In either 30:2 or continuous mode an adjunct ventilator is required for ventilations. |
No.
Must be level to provide compressions. (3.7.4) An adjunct ventilator is required for ventilations. |
