Important Information and User Instructions
(on the back of the card)

Intended Use
CPRcard is a single-use device intended to provide chest compression feedback to a CPR-trained rescuer performing CPR on a suspected cardiac arrest patient, 8 years or older, lying flat on the back on a firm surface.

Indication for Use
When performing CPR on a suspected sudden cardiac arrest patient.

Operating Principle

A battery-powered device is placed between the patient’s bare chest and the rescuer’s hands for giving feedback on compression depth and rate to a rescuer performing CPR. Using an accelerometer, the device measures its own relative movement perpendicular to the device surface and uses this to give input to an algorithm for the calculation of correct feedback on compression rate and depth. The device is equipped with wireless communication functionality for the transfer of performance data.

Warnings and Cautions

A Warning states a condition, hazard, or unsafe practice that can result in serious personal injury or death.
A Caution states a condition, hazard, or unsafe practice that can result in minor personal injury or damage to the product

Note
A Note states important information about the product or its operation.

Important Information
Before using CPRcard, read these instructions thoroughly. Observe all warnings, cautions, and instructions in this User Guide. Retain this guide for future reference.
CPR cannot ensure survival regardless of how well chest compressions are performed. For some patients, cardiac arrest is not reversible despite any available care.
Common side effects of properly performed CPR include skin abrasion, bruises, rib and sternum fractures, and occasionally injuries to internal organs.
The CPRcard does not guide the decision of whether or not to perform CPR on a suspected cardiac arrest victim. This decision must be made independent of the device.

Warnings

• Do not use CPRcard on a patient on a “soft surface” (e.g. bed/mattress, stretcher, or transportation cot) as it will provide inaccurate feedback that can result in too shallow compressions.
• Do not delay CPR to search for the CPRcard or if you experience any problem using it. Begin CPR without the card.
• Do not use the CPRcard in a moving environment (e.g. during patient transport in a car, boat, or aircraft) as it may provide inaccurate feedback.
• Do not use CPRcard on an open wound or recent incision site as this may lead to cross-contamination and cause further injury.

Caution

Using CPRcard under sunlight might affect the visibility of the feedback from the card. Continue CPR even if you don’t see the feedback from the card.

Turn On/Off

Chest Compression Feedback
Feedback on compression depth and the rate is provided by indicator lights. The green lights indicate the targets according to the 2020 international CPR guidelines.

Compression Depth

Compression Rate

Caution
Release pressure between compressions to allow the chest to recoil completely to maintain efficient compressions.
Note
The CPRcard does not provide feedback on incomplete release (leaning) between compressions.

Idle Indicator
When no compressions are detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the idle indicator will blink.

Note
If there are no compressions detected for one minute, the CPRcard shuts down automatically.

Warning Indicator
If a device error is detected, the red Warning Indicator will turn on and compression feedback will stop. Such an error may be caused by a depleted battery or a technical malfunction. The CPRcard should be replaced.

Warning
Do not interrupt CPR if compression feedback stops. Continue CPR without feedback.

Use with a Defibrillator
Follow defibrillator voice guidance when using the CPRcard together with a defibrillator. There is no need to remove the CPRcard before delivering a shock.

Caution
Do not place the defibrillation pads on top of the CPRcard as this may obstruct the CPR feedback and interfere with the defibrillation.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

CPRcard allows wireless connectivity using Bluetooth® Low Energy*.
Possible uses with compatible apps are:

• Firmware upgrade
• Transfer of stored data. Summary data is stored for events with more than 50 compressions
• Live streaming of CPR feedback during use CPRcard is only available for Bluetooth connection after the card is turned on and before chest compressions are initiated.

Refer to www.laerdal.com/CPRcard for more information.

Warning
Do not delay CPR if you are not able to establish a Bluetooth connection.
*Bluetooth is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

Single-Use

The CPRcard is intended for single-use only and should not be re-used.
After use on a patient, the CPRcard may be contaminated and must be disposed of in accordance with local protocol.
If data transfer is required after patient use, the CPRcard can be placed in a plastic bag. The compatible app or software can perform the transfer through the bag.

Maintenance and Inspection

Perform functional tests quarterly to ensure that the CPRcard is functioning as it should.

1. Inspect the CPRcard for physical damage (e.g. tears and cracks).
2. Turn on the device.
3. Observe and verify that all the lights function (see illustration), the lights should display for one second.
4. Turn off the device.

Replace the card if it doesn’t work properly or is severely damaged.

Caution
Do not attempt to modify the CPRcard in any way before use as it can affect its functionality.

Get Familiar with CPRcard

CPR is best performed by CPR-trained rescuers. It is also recommended to get familiar with the CPRcard by practicing on a training manikin using standard CPR technique.

Practice following the feedback from the CPRcard:

1. Turn on CPRcard.

2. Place the card correctly without removing the liner from the adhesive. (See Correct Placement on page 6).

3. Focus on depth feedback (See Compression Depth on page 8).
   Gradually increase the depth of compression so that the recommended depth target is reached.

4. Focus on rate feedback (see Compression Rate on page 8).
   Compress slowly and gradually increase the rate of compression until each of the rate indicators lights up.

5. Focus on performing compressions at an adequate depth and rate.

6. Remember to release between each compression.

To stay familiar with the CPRcard, repeat it as often as needed.

Caution
Do not practice on a person as this may cause injuries to the person.

Troubleshooting

sufficiently pressed
•Card temperature is
below 0 °C (32 °F)
•The device is broken| •Press and hold the ON Off button firmly to try to turn on the CPRcard.
•If the problem persists. do not use the CPRcard on a patient.
Warning LED turns on at start-up and stays on for 1 minute| •Internal error detected
•Depleted battery| •Turn the card off and on again.
•If the problem persists. do not use the CPRcard on a patient.
Not all LEDs light up at start-up| The device is broken.
CPRcard turns off during CPR| •Compression inactivity > 1 min
•Accidental act-Nation of On/Off button
•Internal error detected.
•Depleted battery| Do not interrupt CPR -continue CPR without feedback
Depth target (green LED) not achieved during CPR| •Too shallow

•Incomplete release (leaning)| Press harder and release completely between compressions.
The CPRcard moves around during CPR| The liner was not removed before the CPRcard was placed on the patient.| Remove the liner and place the CPRcard on
the patient’s bare chest as quickly as possible to avoid interrupting CPR
Inactivity indication while performing compressions| •Chest compressions not detected
•Too shallow compressions (<1 cm)
•Too slow compressions (<40/min)| Press harder anchor faster. Release completely between compressions.
Bluetooth connectivity issues| | Do not interrupt CPR -continue CPR

Specifi cations

Compression Depth| Depth feedback is based on the median depth of the last 5 compressions.

Compressions with a depth of less than 1 cm or more than 10 cm will not be detected

---|---
Compression depth accuracy| ±5 mm or ±10%. whichever is greater
Compression Rate| Rate feedback is based on the median rate of the last 5 compressions.
