(have them confirm that they have the kit and have read the IFU)

  1. Prepare device:

    1. Unzip package and open AutoTQ

    2. Remove safety cover if present

    3. Power ON the tourniquet device

    4. Remove USB-C Cover and Connect to computer via USB cable

2. Browser Permission

Ensure USB-C is connected and light is flashing green on top of the device

Click “Connect Device” below

select serial port in borwser popup

grant connection permission

3.Learn basic device operation

Unwrap tourniquet cuff so it is one large circle.

Pull cuff over limb

Pull strap AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE as high as you can on the limb while still parallel to the ground (i.e. upper forearm, but not over a shoulder)

Always pull strap AWAY form the center of the body.

Press inflate. wait for AutoTQ to pressurize and the next screen will appear automatically.

4. Check your radial pulse by placing two fingers as shown in the photo.

If you feel a pulse, press “inflate” again. Each time you press “inflate”, 50 mmHg of pressure is added, up to 600 mmHg max.

If you still feel a pulse after continually pressing “INFLATE”, the strap is not tight enough, or you need to use the “LEG” cuff on your arm. Wait until step 6 to learn how to remove the inflator from the cuff and reattach it to the leg, and then try again.

NOTE: when using AutoTQ in real life, no need to confirm radial pulse IF the bleed is controlled. Once the bleed is controlled, it is tight enough.

5. Safe pressure release

Hold POWEr/DEFLATE button for 3 seconds.

6. PRactice reattachment procedures

Press inflate button again

slide electronics unit off

slide electronics unit on

hold power / deflate button to deflate

Ensure you squeeze ALL of the air out of the cuff.

Please note: you are welcome to repeat this step using the LEG cuff. Simply aplpy the LEG cuff to a person’s leg, reattach the inflator, and inflate. Once completed, ensure you squeeze ALL OF THE AIR out of the leg cuff.
