1-Introduction Federal law restricts this device to sales to, or on the order of, a licensed medical practitioner. ® 1.1 The Life-Stat Model 1008 Instructions for Use (IFU) NOTE: The purpose of this manual is to explain the use, care, and user maintenance of the device, not to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
1.3 Indication for Use ® The Life-Stat CPR System is used to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on adult patients only in cases of clinical death, as defined by a lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse. ® WARNING: The Life-Stat is to be used solely for the purpose of delivering mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in accordance with established American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.
1.6 General Warnings and Cautions WARNING: Improper application of this equipment can cause serious injury. This manual must be thoroughly understood in order to use this device correctly and to avoid possible serious injury. WARNING: Federal law restricts this device to sales to, or on the order of, a licensed medical practitioner.
2-Product Description ® 2.1 Life-Stat Cardiopulmonary Resuscitator ® The Michigan Instruments Life-Stat is the latest model of our portable, automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) medical devices which have been in use since 1964. 2.2 General Description ® The Life-Stat system provides consistent CPR support for cardiac arrest patients under conditions ®...
® 2.3.1 Life-Stat System The Arm and Column positions the Piston and Massager Pad correctly over the patient’s sternum. It is designed to provide a sternal deflection percentage based on the patient A-P chest diameter. Sternal deflection is nominally set to 20% of the A-P diameter. The depth of each chest compression is easily monitored using the markings on the Dome surrounding the Piston.
2.3.2 Controls and Labeling ® The Life-Stat controls are located on the back of the Arm. Control Panel ® 1. SYSTEM CONTROL (Control#1): This membrane keypad is used to control the Life-Stat . It is comprised of 5 electronic buttons, described below. START/ON button.
Page 12
2. COMPRESSION DEPTH (Control #2): This control is used for setting the depth of compression on the patient. The depth is set to correspond to the measured A-P diameter shown on the scale located on the back of the Column. As indicated by the arrow, turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression depth and counterclockwise to decrease compression depth.
2.3.3 Battery Power Supply ® The Life-Stat electronic control module is powered by two (2) 9V alkaline batteries. CAUTION: Do NOT use excessive force to install the battery in the tray. Ensure the polarity is oriented per the label and to the diagram embossed on the bottom of the tray (+ on left, - on right).
• If stored for extended periods with batteries installed, inspect both batteries prior to use to ensure they have not corroded. • Dispose of used batteries properly. 2.4 Important Safety Features Changing a battery during operation -- Should a low battery level occur during resuscitation efforts, either battery may be removed and replaced, (one at a time), from its compartment and a fresh battery can be “hot swapped’...
2.5 The BackBoard The BackBoard is intended for either manual or mechanical CPR. It is designed to provide a firm, non-rebounding surface upon which CPR can be performed, and introduces a slight hyperextension of the patient’s neck to facilitate upper airway management. It allows use of the Life-Stat ®...
Single tank carrier for “DD” carbon fiber cylinder (Regulator available separately) Dual tank carrier for “D” or “E” aluminum cylinders (Cylinders not included) Mobile Oxygen Carrier (MOC) 2.7 The Carrying/Storage Case ® The Carrying/Storage Case is constructed of a durable nylon. The Life-Stat Supply Hose and code-related supplies are stored in the Case in a manner which permits immediate access to the device and facilitates easy setup at an emergency site.
3-Setup and Operation 3.1 Precautions ® Before setting up and using the Life-Stat , there are several important precautions that must be observed at all times. ® 1. The Life-Stat must only be used in cases of clinical death as defined by lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse.
3.2 Recommendations ® It is recommended that the Arm/Column of the Life-Stat be attached to the Base while stored in the Carrying/Storage Case. Additionally, the Arm should be positioned over the Base so that it is perpendicular to the O Supply Connector located at the bottom of the Column.
3.3 Positioning the Patient The following steps are provided as a recommendation. 1. When applying the BackBoard, “Log roll” the patient into position, taking care to keep the cervical spine immobilized. WARNING: When moving a patient in cases of suspected C-spine injury, always support the patient’s head in a neutral position.
® 3.4 Life-Stat Deployment ® 3.4.1 Life-Stat Setup: ® A. Remove the Life-Stat from the Case. Press for B. Ensure the System C. Ensure Controls (#2) & Control (#1) is OFF. (#3) are both turned fully counterclockwise. D. Attach the Breathing Hose/Non Re-breathing valve (and mask, if used) to the PDV.
® CAUTION: The Life-Stat requires a medical grade Oxygen source capable of delivering pressure from 50 to 90 psi (3.515 to 6.327 kgf/cm ), with a minimum flow rate of at least 45 LPM. Always follow safe Oxygen handling practices with Oxygen cylinders and regulators.
WARNING: Injury to patient may occur if Arm is adjusted too low, as indicated by the top of the Piston moving up beyond “-” on the Dome. WARNING: Patient chest compressions may be insufficient to be effective if Arm is adjusted too high as indicated by the top of the Piston not moving up to “-”...

WARNING: Failure to ensure that the VENTILATION VOLUME knob (Control #3) is turned fully counterclockwise upon initial application to the patient and prior to selecting a CPR mode via the SYSTEM CONTROL #1 will deliver ventilations to the patient (if the breathing hose is applied to the patient) at the tidal volume last set by Control #3.
® 3.4.5 Life-Stat Ventilator- Patient Demand Valve (PDV) Activation: A. Rotate the VENTILATION VOLUME knob (#3) clockwise in accordance with AHA guidelines, and/or local protocol to desired volume (mL). B. Apply the Breathing Hose/Non Re-breathing Valve to the patient via mask or ET tube. C.
3.4.6 Procedure to Interrupt (Suspend) Compressions: To perform pulse checks or perform analysis with an AED (and/or defibrillate manually), simply press the PAUSE button. This will interrupt compressions only, while ventilations continue at the previous rate and volume setting. To resume compressions, press the desired mode button (30:2 or CCV). The same depth of compression previously set by the COMPRESSION DEPTH knob will be delivered.

F. Loosen the Arm Lock Lever and raise the Arm on the Column high enough to clear the patient. Tighten the Arm Lock Lever. ® G. Remove the Life-Stat from the BackBoard. ® H. Clean and inspect the Life-Stat per the recommended Shift Check (Daily or after each use). WARNING: The Breathing Hose (h 14669) and Non Re- breathing Valve (h 14384) supplied with the device is intended for single use only.
® If the Life-Stat must be shipped for any reason, a factory carton with protective foam inserts is recommended to protect the device. Replacement cartons are available from Michigan Instruments. ® CAUTION: Do not ship the Life-Stat in the Carrying/...
