Defibtech Lifeline ARM: Mechanical CPR Device

Phillip Woods, BA, NREMT-P, FP-C, our in-house flight medic and account manager gives an overview of the Lifeline Arm: the latest mechanical CPR device from Defibtech. 

Phillip: Hey guys, Phillip Woods here, flight paramedic and account manager with Coro Medical, home of AED.us. Today we are here to talk for a few minutes about the Defibtech Lifeline Arm mechanical CPR device. This high quality state-of-the-art piece of equipment is able to deliver high quality mechanical CPR freeing up rescuers for other tasks making it ideally suited for in-hospital extended arrests, of course out-of-hospital EMS cardiac arrests, or even used in austere and rugged environments.

It features a removable compression module allowing for easier patient access as well as improved and easier serviceability. The unique and intuitive two-step menu means that once you power the device on, you simply adjust the piston height to the patient, and then press “start” with either continuous CPR or at a 30:2 ratio, depending on your state and local protocols. It also has a USB port on the bottom making all events downloadable for QA/QI review.

The lithium ion battery on the side is able to power the device continuously for up to an hour without needing to be charged or plugged in. The one-piece clamshell design of the frame reduces flex or distortion, both of which can lead to worse CPR outcomes. The over-sized handles on the side also allow for easier access to and application to the patient.

There you have it folks: the Defibtech Arm mechanical CPR device. A state-of-the-art piece of equipment able to perform high quality mechanical CPR in any environment which CPR is needed to be performed.
