LifeBand Load-distributing Band
The LifeBand is a load-distributing band that consists of a cover plate and two bands integrated with a
compression pad with a Velcro
adjusted to the patient and provides compressions to the patient's chest in the region of the heart. The
latex-free LifeBand is a single-use component that is attached to the Platform before each use.
Note:
The LifeBand and the patient surface of the Platform (Figure 1-2) together comprise the
"applied parts" (as defined by IEC 60601-1, 3rd ed.), i.e., the part of the system that in normal
use necessarily comes into physical contact with the patient.
