Conditions, hazards, or unsafe practices that may result in serious personal injury or death.
• Improper use can cause injury to patient. Use the RMU-2000 ACC only as instructed in
the User Manual.

Piston and Suction Cup during operation.
• Improper maintenance can cause the RMU-2000 ACC not to function. Maintain the RMU-
2000 ACC and rechargeable Battery Pack only as described in the User Manual. Failure to
maintain the Battery Pack per the instructions outlined in this User Manual may result in
the RMU-2000 ACC becoming inoperable.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed. The RMU-2000 ACC contains no user-
serviceable parts.
• Do not immerse Compression Module or Battery Pack in water or other liquids. Immersion
in fluids may result in fire or explosion.
• The RMU-2000 ACC is not intended to be sterilized and only approved cleaning agents
should be used.
• Do not let fluids get into the Compression Module. Avoid spilling fluids on the RMU-2000
ACC or its accessories. Spilling fluids into the RMU-2000 ACC may damage it or cause a
fire or shock hazard.
• If the patient is too large for the Frame, remove Frame and continue manual CPR
compressions.

• Keep clothing and other objects from interfering with the Frame latching mechanism when
connecting to the Backboard.
• Do not initiate automated chest compressions if a Suction Cup is not attached to
the end of the Piston as doing so may result in patient injury. If a Suction Cup is not
available, discontinue use of the RMU-2000 ACC and continue performing manual chest
compressions.
• If the Piston cannot be adjusted so that the Suction Cup reaches the patient's chest or if
the load pressure upon reaching the chest is insufficient for the RMU-2000 ACC to deliver
compressions, the patient is too small. Remove Frame and continue with manual CPR
compressions.
