Mechanical compression device with adjustable compression point

A mechanical compression device, comprising:

• a back plate;
• and
• a support frame attached to the back plate, the support frame including:
• a first support column having a first actuator,
• a second support column having a second actuator,
• one or more drivers configured to drive the first actuator of the first support column and the second actuator of the second support column, and
• the first support column and the second support column each including another actuator configured to tilt the respective first support column or the second support column relative to the back plate, and
• a compression beam attached to the first actuator and the second actuator of each of the first support column and the second support column, the compression beam having a compression member;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• set a starting position of the compression beam by independently adjusting a start position of the first actuator and the second actuator, and
• drive the compression beam to provide compressions to a patient from the respective starting position of each of the first actuator and the second actuator.

• and
• a processor configured to:
• set a starting position of the compression beam by independently adjusting a start position of the first actuator away from the back plate and a start position of the second actuator away from the back plate, wherein the start position of the first actuator and the start position of the second actuator are not symmetrical, and
• drive the compression beam to provide compressions to a patient from the respective starting position of each of the first actuator and the second actuator.
