Regulatory Information

Warnings
• When the CPRmeter 2 is used together with a defibrillator, make sure
to follow the defibrillator manufacturer's instructions. Stop compressions,
remove hands from the CPRmeter 2 and remain clear of all patient
contact during defibrillation or when otherwise required, in accordance
with a proper defibrillation protocol.
• The CPRmeter 2 is not intended for use in a moving environment, such
as an air, sea or road ambulance. If used during patient transport, the
device may provide inaccurate feedback. If CPR is indicated in a moving
environment, do not rely on the depth feedback during such conditions. It
is not necessary to remove the device from the patient.
• Do not practice CPR by using the CPRmeter 2 on a person. It may be
used with a training manikin or simply on a compliant surface for practice.
• Properly performed CPR may result in fracturing of the patient's ribs.
If rib integrity has been compromised, continue to provide CPR in
accordance with your local protocol.
• Properly performed CPR may result in chest injuries
wall bruising or abrasion.
• Do not rely on CPRmeter 2 feedback during aircraft ascent and descent,
as its accuracy is reduced in such conditions.
Cautions
• Do not apply the CPRmeter 2 to an open wound or recent incision site.
• The device is designed to be used only with Laerdal-approved
accessories and may perform improperly if non-approved accessories
are used. Do not attempt to modify the device in any way.
• Use only model 801-10850 Patient Adhesives with the CPRmeter 2.
• The CPRmeter 2 is not a serviceable device. If experiencing technical
