The Weil Mini Chest Compressor, a portable mechanical CPR device by Resuscitation International, is a new product in the fight to battle sudden cardiac death. It is a pneumatically driven piston device providing optimal chest compressions with adequate strength and depth. The device was developed to be small, easy to deploy, and lightweight. The easy to use design allows for attachment of the device to the patient within 10 seconds.
A torso restraint is placed around the body and easily connected to the piston device allowing for circumferential chest compressions, freeing medical personal to tend to other aspects of handling the patient.
The device now holds the CE Mark and FDA 510(k) clearance to market. More details can be found on their website.
