Wow Ron that is awesome! I was an EMT/Firefighter/Police Dispatcher between
76-87 and did CPR countless times on our rig. Is that device from your
company or is only the actuator your part? Also I didn't know compressions
could be given to a healthy person without putting them into de-fib. Please
temps more.
Your healthy guy getting compressions:
