The AutoPulse is a non-invasive cardiac support pump that generates unique and consistent chest compressions, leading to the promise of normal blood flow to the heart and brain.` These never-before-seen levels of perfusion in SCA may result in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and neurologically intact survival.

The AutoPulse System is comprised of a backboard and a simple, load-distributing LifeBand™ that easily fastens across the victim's chest. It is elegant in its simplicity and unparalleled in its life-saving ability

  • Provides the potential for normal
  • Functions as an "additional person"
  • Fast, easy and intuitive to start-up blood flow during SCA and use
  • Ensures clinician safety

What Would Normal Blood Flow Do for the Resuscitation of Cardiac Arrest Patients?

Effective circulation is critical to the neurologically intact survival of the SCA patient. While defibrillation is the definitive treatment for ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (\T). it alone does not represent the total solution for resuscitation of victims of SCA.

More treatment options: a shock is only indicated <50% of the time in both the Hospital and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) environments
• Hospital: 25% VF or \VT
• EMS: 41% VF or \VT

Providing normal blood flow, in conjunction with oxygen and drugs, is the primary treatment option for pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and asystole.


Enhanced defibrillation: "it's about more time"

It is well established that the survival from SCA caused by VF rapidly diminishes in correlation with the amount of time it takes to deliver the first defibrillation shock. After 6 minutes, survival is unlikely.

A growing body of evidence suggests that beyond a delay of about 3 minutes. re-establishing good blood flow before defibrillation may actually improve the efficacy of the electrical countershock–in effect "priming the pump" to allow the heart to better respond.

Better circulation enhances the effectiveness of defibrillation.


Credible Research,
Incredible Results.

Animal Hemodynamics Study
AutoPulse produced pre-arrest levels of
blood flow to the heart and brain

Human Hemodynamics Study
AutoPulse-generated CPP was 33% better than manual CPR

AutoPulse Animal Survival Study

  • 73% of the subjects supported with AutoPulse returned to normal blood flow and survived
  •  88% of survivors were neurologically normal
  • 0% of the subjects supported with only conventional CPR survived
