Technical Data CPR Rate Advisor The SAM 450P utilizes the ICG (Impedance Cardiogram) capability to assess the rate of chest compressions being applied during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Based on the measured rate, the SAM 450P provides verbal feedback to the user to “push faster”, “push slower”, or continue to provide “good speed”...

Pediatric restriction Use of the CPR Rate Advisor function must be restricted to adult patients only. Chest compression techniques differ for the different ages and sizes of pediatric patients (up to eight years old). For younger pediatric patients, rescuers should compress the lower half of the sternum but not compress over the xiphoid.
