Step 3: Shock Delivery
M3860A and M3861A H
EARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator 3-5
3
WARNING: Do not place the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest and back
(anterior-posterior), unless directed by a physician. The algorithm used by the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 has not been validated with anterior-posterior pads placement.
WARNING: Do not let the defibrillation pads touch each other or other ECG electrodes, lead
wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and
patient skin burns during defibrillation and may divert defibrillating current away from the
heart.
WARNING: During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillation pads can
cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillation pads
completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried out defibrillation pads.
WARNING: Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm analysis can cause an
incorrect or delayed diagnosis. If the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 gives a SHOCK ADVISED prompt,
keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds so the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 can
reconfirm the rhythm analysis before a shock is delivered.
WAR NI NG :
CPR rates significantly above the American Heart Association guidelines of 100
compressions per minute can cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the HEARTSTREAM FR2.
WAR NI NG :
Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury. Do not touch the
patient during defibrillation. Do not allow the defibrillation pads to touch any metal
surfaces. Disconnect the pads connector from the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 before using any other
defibrillator.
CAUTION: Aggressive handling of the pads in storage or prior to use can damage the pads. Discard
the defibrillation pads if they become damaged.
