September 8, 2014 — Esaote North America announced its new MyLab Six ultrasound system has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is now available for sale in the United States.

Once started, the LUCAS 2 applied continuous chest compressions of at least 5 centimeters at a consistent rate of 100 or more compressions per minute.
