M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator 3-1
3Using Your HEARTSTREAM FR2
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the HEARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency
incident. Some general things to remember are:
Try to relax and stay calm. The HEARTSTREAM FR2 automatically
provides appropriate voice and display prompts to guide you.
The defibrillation pads must have good contact with the patient’s
skin. The pads have a layer of sticky, conductive gel beneath the
protective backing. To work effectively, the gel must not be dried out.
It may be necessary to dry the patient’s chest or to clip or shave
excessive chest hair to provide good contact between the
defibrillation pads and the patient’s skin.
The following pages provide step-by-step instructions for normal use of the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency. (See Chapter 4, Troubleshooting,
Testing, and Maintaining Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2, for troubleshooting tips.)
Be sure to read the Warnings and Cautions on the last page of this chapter.
NOTE: These directions apply to both the model M3860A and the model M3861A
HEARTSTREAM FR2, except where otherwise noted.
