M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator E-5
E
Sensitivity .................... A measure of the ability of the HEARTSTREAM FR2 to reliably detect and
identify shockable heart rhythms.
Setup ............................ The settings of all programmable operating parameters of the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2. The factory default setup can be modified using the H
EARTSTREAM
M3864A Training & Administration Pack.
Shock Series ................ One or more shocks, each separated by no more than a preset time
(programmed Protocol Timeout). After completion of a shock series, the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 automatically pauses for CPR.
Shockable Rhythm ..... Ventricular fibrillation and certain ventricular tachycardias associated with
sudden cardiac arrest.
Shock Waveform ........ See SMART Biphasic Waveform.
SMART Analysis......... The proprietary algorithm used by the FR2 to analyze the patient’s heart
rhythm and determine whether a shock is advised.
SMART Biphasic
Waveform .................... The patented, low-energy defibrillation shock waveform used by the FR2. It is
an impedance-compensated biphasic waveform with 150 Joules, nominal,
delivered to a 50 ohm load.
Specificity .................... A measure of the ability of the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 to reliably detect and
identify non-shockable heart rhythms.
Standby Mode ............. The operating mode of the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 when a battery has been
installed, and the unit is turned off and ready for use when needed. Shown by
flashing black hourglass on the Status Indicator.
Status Indicator .......... This is a special window in the upper right-hand corner of the front panel of
the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 that lets you know the status of the device.
Sudden Cardiac
Arrest .......................... The sudden cessation of the heart’s pumping rhythm, accompanied by loss of
consciousness, absence of breathing, and lack of a pulse.
