Safety Considerations
M3860A and M3861A H
EARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator 5-5
5
Monitoring Cautions
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.
SAFETY LEVELS POSSIBLE BURNS AND INEFFECTIVE ENERGY
WARNING Do not allow the defibrillation pads to 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 also divert the defibrillation 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.
SAFETY LEVEL POSSIBLE PATIENT INJURY
CAUTION The HEARTSTREAM FR2 advanced mode’s MANUAL CHARGE feature is intended for use only by
authorized operators who have been specifically trained in cardiac rhythm recognition and in
defibrillation therapy using manual charge and shock delivery.
SAFETY LEVELS POSSIBLE ECG MISINTERPRETATION
SAFETY LEVEL POSSIBLE MISINTERPRETATION OF ECG RECORDINGS
CAUTION The LCD screen on the HEARTSTREAM FR2 model M3860A is intended only for basic ECG rhythm
identification. The frequency response of the monitor screen is not intended to provide the
resolution needed for diagnostic and ST segment interpretation.
