An automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACPR) device includes a compression element for acting on a compression location on a chest of a patient, and an optical alignment aid configured and arranged for projecting, at least temporarily, a light pattern on the patient's chest. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid guides the user during the placement procedure of the ACPR device. The light pattern projected by the optical alignment aid allows the user to monitor whether the position of the automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation device has moved during the administration of CPR.

Laser alignment for automated CPR device

A pad device for the transfer of force to an anterior chest wall during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes at least two pad elements adapted to be positioned on an anterior chest wall surface, a hinge mechanism connecting the at least two pad elements, the at least two pad elements being movably mounted to the hinge mechanism, such that the hinge mechanism cooperatively responds to a force applied when the patient is receiving a CPR.

Chest pad for automated CPR device

A backboard for an automated cardio pulmonary resuscitation system, said backboard comprising a board element, the board element defining a plane and having a top edge, a bottom edge a first side edge and a second side edge; a set of connectors adapted for connection of the backboard to an automated cardio pulmonary resuscitation unit, said connectors being provided at said side edges; and at least one set of stabilizing elements extending away from an edge and transversely to said plane.
