NUI Compact Chest Compression Device (NCCD) - NUI

NCCD is a low cost, small, compact and lightweight chest compression device that can substitute manual chest compression during CPR. NCCD is powered by compressed gas, and designed for use in hyperbaric compartments like diving bells and hyperbaric chambers, but can aslo be used where pressurised gas is available on land, at sea and in the air.

NUI Compact Chest Compression Device (NCCD)

Pneumatic chest compression device for CPR

Cardiac arrest in confined spaces and during transport

Sudden unexpected cardiac arrest (SCD) is a major global public health issue, accounting for up to 20% of deaths in Western societies. Rapid and good cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as well as rapid treatment with defibrillators (AEDs) are essential for survival. Without good CPR pending cardiac arrest, irreversible brain damage will occur after just 5 minutes, and the chance of survival decreases by about 10% per minute from cardiac arrest.

It is well known that conventional manual resuscitation techniques, even in a hospital environment, are extremely tiring, and that provider-effectiveness decreases after as little as 2 minutes of delivering chest compressions. Providing manual CPR in confined spaces (hyperbaric chambers, tunnels, lifeboats etc), during transportation and during search and rescue operations manual (USAR, rope access etc) CPR might be extra challenging or even impossible. There is a need for better chest compressions during CPR in general, and also in significantly confined environments, during transport and rescue operations. NCCD can be used in such situations.

NUI Compact Chest Compression Device (NCCD)

NCCD is a low cost, small, compact and lightweight chest compression device that can substitute manual chest compression during CPR. The NCCD is powered by compressed gas, and designed for use in hyperbaric compartments like diving bells and hyperbaric chambers, but can aslo be used where pressurised gas is available on land, at sea and in the air. It contains no electrical parts. The NCCD can be used under water and even when the patient is positioned in a vertical position like during transport and rescue operations.

NCCD must only be used by personnel that have sufficient training in, and knowledge of manual CPR. NCCD is designed for use on adults only.

NCCD Rental Concept

The NCCD is a low-cost device and can be rented from NUI on a yearly basis. The NCCD will be replaced yearly in the rental period, so there is no additional cost for maintenance.

Our clients should evaluate the appropriate number of NCCD units based on their risk assessments and identified needs.

For DSV NUI recommends:

One unit in each bell
One unit in each TUP that can be used in the chambers and taken into the evacuation unit if required
One training unit to be used inside bell/chambers for training and outside chambers for familiarisation on equipment.

Minimum package for rent:
One NCCD sealed
One NCCD Training Unit

The operational units are sealed, and the seal should not be broken unless an emergency situation occurs. If used in an emergency NUI should be notified and a replacement unit will be shipped as quickly as practically possible.

The training unit are marked and might be used as required. This unit will be replaced yearly together with the operational units.
