Manufacturer Narrative

The article from a newspaper, not a scientific journal, are observational comments from the customer and not about a special patient case, therefore it is difficult to make a clinical review from the information received in the article.However, the lucas device has been shown in randomised clinical trial to have the same injury pattern as manual cpr.The customer was contacted multiple times however no serial number was provided and the device was not returned for evaluation.No device malfunction or specific instances of injuries were alleged, only general observation of injuries over time.The root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.
