Chest Compression System
Your partner in life support
Consistency. It’s a powerful thing.
The LUCAS Chest Compression System helps emergency care teams around the
world do what they do best — save lives. With high-quality chest compressions
and fewer interruptions than manual CPR, LUCAS is your partner that will
administer Guidelines-consistent, high-quality compressions until the job is done.

Proven. Safe. Effective.
For over 15 years the LUCAS Chest Compression System has been helping lifesaving
teams around the world deliver high performance, Guidelines-consistent chest
compressions to cardiac arrest patient in the field, on the move and in the hospital.
The LUCAS device has been proven safe and effective in a large randomized controlled
trial, the highest level of clinical evidence.10

“We know CPR is difficult to do well. People slow down. They don’t always do
it appropriately — even professional rescuers. A machine doesn’t get tired; it is
consistent, and consistency is key.”
—Charles Lick, MD Medical Director, Allina Medical Transport & Emergency Department Director,
Buffalo Hospital23
Your power to improve CPR quality
Less interruptions to CPR on the scene and during transport
30-40% of patients who have achieved return of spontaneous circulation
(ROSC) on the scene will re-arrest prior to hospital arrival and may require
CPR during transportation.20,21

LUCAS can contribute to improved outcomes
Systems of care implementing LUCAS together with a comprehensive approach
to resuscitation* have shown increased ROSC rates13-17 as well as improved
survival with good neurological outcomes15,17,19 compared to historical data.

LUCAS 3, v3.1 Chest Compression System
What’s new with v3.1?*
The LUCAS 3, v3.1 was designed with enhanced data capabilities to allow for better
post-event reporting and asset management. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity,
your LUCAS device can be configured to meet your protocols within your LIFENET
account. Integration with CODE-STAT 11 now allows for precise and timely post-event
reviews that can help with training and quality improvements.
Setup options
Increase compression Adjustable depth: 1.8 and 2.1
rate without sacrificing ± 0.1 inches / 45 to 53 ± 2mm
depth. Compression rate (fixed during operation)
can be fixed or variable
during operation at 102,
111, or 120 compressions
per minute while still
maintaining desired Audible CPR timer:
depth between 1.8 to 2.1 1-15 minutes
inches/45 to 53mm (depth (in 1 min. increments)
fixed during operation).
Adjust ventilation alerts,
pause length and count Optional pressure pad release
(0.4 inches/10 mm) allows for
chest rise during ventilation
Auto-lowering of piston
(AutoFit or QuickFit)
* Setup options should be changed only under the direction of a physician knowledgeable
in cardiopulmonary resuscitation who is familiar with the literature in this area
Connected care
Post-Event reporting
Key metrics and dashboards:
• Compression time, ratio, and rate
• Count, number of pauses > 10 sec.
• Duration of longest compression pauses
• Visual timeline of the event
Post-Event reporting
CODE-STAT 11 allows for LUCAS
Post-Event Reports to be merged
with reports from LIFEPAK 15 and
LIFEPAK 20/20e devices.
Merged reports give a comprehensive
view of cardiac arrest cases and can
be used in quality improvement and
training efforts.
Asset management
LIFENET offers easily accessible
asset dashboard for fleet status at
latest device check-in.
Gives notifications of expiring and
expired LUCAS batteries.
