Our devices were engineered with a “C” arm design, providing more access to the patient than other wrap-around or enclosed models. There’s no question it’s a tremendous asset to the organization, a veteran Hatzolah members tells TLS. If necessary, mechanical CPR can be paused and resumed with a push of a button, maintaining nearly complete access to the patient throughout the resuscitation effort. The Thumper, a device designed to deliver consistent CPR chest compressions without the off intervals and to deliver direct current cardioversion during chest compressions, is used on patients who suffer a Cardiac Arrest. Both of these devices required training and close monitoring to ensure that the machine did what it was designed to do. I felt like the CPR provided was better than what we could do manually.

Improved access to the patient: There’s no need to work around people providing chest compressions (and breaths). I used the Thumper when I first started and particularly when the patient was intubated.

Built-in ventilator: The only device on the market to offer built-in ventilation, allowing first responders and doctors to focus on other important resuscitation procedures.

Varied compression depth: The compression depth for each patient is clearly shown on the unit (based on the patient’s A-P chest diameter).

Fits larger patients : Can accommodate larger patients than other devices on the market.

The Life-Stat® 1008 Automated CPR Machine Features: Thumper: The life-saving device that allows the Coast Guard to start CPR while a patient is being winched to safety The Thumper is attached to a stretcher, meaning chest compressions can begin. ®, once correctly applied over the patient’s sternum, is designed to measure the patient’s anterior-posterior (A-P) chest diameter and deliver the equivalent sternal deflection of 20% of that diameter. The device is electrically insulated, allowing it to be freely and safely used in conjunction with routine patient monitoring, external pacing and defibrillation procedures. The chest compressor is powered by compressed Oxygen while timing is controlled by a 9V electronic circuit. They also offer the ability to perform CPR on larger patients than other competing devices.

They support a quick transition from manual to automated CPR with minimal interruption to compressions.

The Life-Stat® is a mechanical “automatic” CPR device that can be set up in seconds. Life-Stat and Thumper CPR devices are lightweight and easy to use. In either mode, compressions are delivered at a frequency of 100 or 120 per minute*. The Life-Stat ® performs two modes of CPR support in conformance with AHA CPR guidelines. The Life-Stat® 1008 Automated CPR Machine provides consistent CPR support for cardiac arrest patients under conditions which might otherwise hinder the effectiveness of manual techniques.
