Band description
The AutoPulse NXT Band (band) is a load-distributing band that includes two belts with guards to install on the
platform. Connected to the platform, the band automatically adjusts to the patient's size and provides com-
pressions to the patient's chest. The latex-free band is for single use only.
Caution. Use care while using sharp instruments around the band. Do not use the band if any cuts or tears are
present.
Caution. The band guard contains a small magnet. Keep the band guard at least two inches away from ICDs
or pacemakers to prevent the possibility of the ICDs or pacemakers entering magnet mode.
