M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator C-1
C Differences between the FORERUNNER and the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 AEDs
If your organization is currently using the FORERUNNER AED and has
recently purchased new H
EARTSTREAM FR2 AEDs, you will find that the two
devices are very similar, but the FR2 provides additional functionality.
Some of the improvements in the FR2 will be immediately obvious. In
comparison to the original F
ORERUNNER, the FR2 has:
a brighter and higher-contrast display screen,
an increased battery capacity and service life, and
an optional Training & Administration pack with an integrated
rechargeable battery, and separate charger.
Other improved features in the FR2 are more subtle, such as:
facilitation of patient hand-off in tiered-response system, including ability
to review presenting ECG;
more detailed voice and text prompts;
more data management options, including infrared communications
capability for data transfer; and
manual (advanced) mode operation remains in effect after entry until the
unit is turned off.
Some of the specific differences between the two devices are described in the
following table.
NOTE: In the following table, where the name of a feature has been changed
from the name used in the F
ORERUNNER literature, the new FR2 name is
shown in quotation marks.
