We have had multiple issues with the power cord for our lucas device.This seems to be a consistent issue in several areas of the organization that utilize the lucas.The issue with the power cord involves the connector breaking, which does not allow the device to charge.The recommendation to the emergency department when we contacted stryker, was to purchase the battery back-up (which we have).Each power cord costs (b)(6).There is no way to purchase just the portion of the cord that is broken, you must purchase the entire cord.The ed has even gone as far as building a special "shelf" for the device to avoid kinking the cord which has caused failures.Manufacturer response for lucas 3 chest compression device, lucus (per site reporter).Yes: recommended purchasing additional equipment (back up battery, additional chord/connector).
