Getting Familiar with the Lifeline ARM
The Lifeline ARM is designed to be stored in a Carrying Case with a small number of easy-
to-assemble components; it can also be stored in a fully assembled and ready-to-use state.
When you receive a Lifeline ARM device, identify each component and ensure that the
package is complete before use.
The key components of the Lifeline ARM include:
•
The Backboard
•
The Frame
•
The Compression Module
− Compression Piston with Patient Interface Pad (PIP)
− User Control Panel
− Battery Pack
•
AC Adapter
•
A Stabilization Strap
•
The Quick Reference Guide and User Manual
Trainer Tip:
As you begin this section, place a Lifeline ARM device in its closed Carrying
Case on a table or raised surface so the group can see what you are doing. As you open the
Carrying Case and remove its contents, demonstrate and discuss the function and details of
each component in sequence.
Remind students that they will have lots of opportunity to familiarize themselves with the
physical components during the hands-on training session.
