M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator E-3
E
Impedance ................... Electrically, this is the total opposition offered by the body to the flow of the
electrical shock waveform delivered by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2. The FR2
automatically monitors the electrical impedance between the defibrillation
pads placed on the patient’s bare chest, and adjusts the shock waveform
appropriately.
Incident ....................... The series of events involved in treating a patient with the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2.
Infrared
Communications ........ A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It
is used to transmit information to and from the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 and
another FR2 or a computer running C
ODERUNNER software.
Manual Charge .......... A feature of the advanced mode used by an authorized ALS-certified
responder that allows the user to arm the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 for shock
delivery.
Manual Disarm .......... A feature of the advanced mode used by an authorized ALS-certified
responder that allows the user to dump the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 charge
internally.
Monitoring .................. A mode of background analysis to determine if patient rhythm has changed to
a shockable rhythm.
Non-Shockable
Rhythm ....................... A heart rhythm that the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 determines is not appropriate for
shock delivery.
NSA ............................. No Shock Advised decision, made by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 based on
analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
Pacemaker .................. External or implanted cardiac pulse generator that stimulates the heart
electronically.
Pads ............................. See Defibrillation Pads.
