Mechanical chest compression
The ARM XR is an automatic chest compression system for patients in cardiac arrest. You switch from manual to mechanical CPR in a few seconds. The compressions continue during a long resuscitation and during transport, so the team has their hands free.
How it works
- Suction cup piston: delivers the compressions and lets the chest recoil by up to 1.5 cm.
- Frame with back plate: a light frame with an integrated back plate.
- Straps: secure the patient’s arms and the device during transport to the hospital or the cardiac catheterisation room.
- Depth: the device determines the depth from the front-to-back dimension of the patient’s chest, measured at the position of the piston.
Two modes
Continuous: uninterrupted compressions. Protocol 30:2: 30 compressions, then a 3-second pause for two ventilations. A sound signal is given before each pause. In both modes the rate is 100 to 110 compressions per minute.
Which patient
The ARM XR is for adults only. The chest width is at most 44.4 cm and the chest height is between 18.8 and 32.3 cm. The patient’s weight does not matter. The full conditions of use and precautions are in the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Battery and data
The device runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives about 1 hour of compressions. Charging takes less than 3 hours. A mains adapter and an external charging station (option) are available. The manufacturer recommends replacing the battery every 3 years, or sooner if the device indicates so (about 300 charge cycles).
The device sends event and status data to a PC, wirelessly via Bluetooth or with a USB cable.
