The Stryker LUCAS 3 v3.1 Mechanical Chest Compression System is an advanced automated CPR device designed to deliver consistent, high-quality chest compressions during cardiac arrest emergencies. Engineered to reduce caregiver fatigue and maintain guideline-consistent CPR performance, the LUCAS 3 provides uninterrupted compressions during transport, in the emergency department, during PCI procedures, and throughout prolonged resuscitation efforts.
Built for EMS, hospitals, emergency departments, cardiac catheterization labs, and critical care transport teams, the LUCAS 3 helps extend the reach of care by providing continuous chest compressions while caregivers focus on airway management, medications, defibrillation, and other lifesaving interventions. Its lightweight design, wireless connectivity, post-event reporting capabilities, and configurable compression settings make it a valuable tool for modern resuscitation programs.
Key Performance Features
-
Automated High-Quality CPR: Delivers guideline-consistent chest compressions with minimal interruptions to support effective resuscitation efforts.
-
Consistent Compression Rate & Depth: Provides compressions at approximately 102 compressions per minute with a nominal depth of 5.3 cm (2.1"). Adjustable settings allow protocols to be customized when required.
-
Continuous CPR During Transport: Maintains uninterrupted chest compressions while patients are moved through ambulances, emergency departments, cath labs, and other care environments.
-
Reduces Caregiver Fatigue: Eliminates the need for manual compression rotation and allows providers to focus on other critical patient interventions.
-
Suction Cup Compression Technology: Piston and suction cup design help stabilize the compression point while promoting active chest recoil.
-
Wireless Data Connectivity: Connects with the LIFENET System and CODE-STAT software for device configuration, fleet management, and post-event reporting.
-
Fast Deployment: Clinical studies demonstrated a median interruption of approximately 7 seconds when transitioning from manual CPR to mechanical compressions.
- Portable & Battery Powered: Lightweight design, rechargeable battery operation, external power capability, and durable carrying case support deployment across multiple care settings.
