September 2008 - Model 1008
The Life-Stat™ Model 1008 is electronically controlled.
In addition to all the other benefits gleaned from the previous models, the
electronics provide for multiple modes of operation. It also allows the
device to meet current and future AHA guidelines. It is the most capable
and lightest mechanical CPR device manufactured by Michigan Instruments
providing true hands-free mechanical CPR. In keeping with honoring its
loyal customer base, a Model 1007 can be upgraded to a Model 1008 at a fraction
of the cost.
Whatever you
call it ...
IT IS high quality mechanical CPR
based on decades of experience. |
