[Scan-DC] APO?

[Ken Knopp]

Possibly Zoll Auto Pulse system for automated CPR chest compressions?
 Montgomery uses a LUCAS device.

They are shared and not carried on all units but taken where they believe a
need for use may exist on a specific call.
EMS Duty Officers also may carry one as part of their vehicle equipment.
