1 INTRODUCTION TO THE HEARTSTART FR2+
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator (“FR2+”) is a compact, lightweight, portable,
and battery powered automated external defibrillator designed for use by a
trained responder to treat ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause
of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
The FR2+ has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you can tell at a glance if
it has passed its last selftest. The front panel of the FR2+ has an On/Off button
at the top and a Shock button at the bottom. A display screen in the center of
the panel provides text prompts and incident information. Voice prompts are
provided through a speaker located at the base of the FR2+. See the diagram on
the inside front cover for details.
The FR2+ is available in two models, the M3860A and the M3861A. They share a
set of basic features, detailed in Chapter 6. The principle differences between
the two models are identified below:
NOTE:The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup that can be modified.
(See Chapter 6, “Configuration, Setup, and Advanced Mode Features,” for a
description of setup defaults and options.)
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The HeartStart FR2+ is intended to be used with disposable defibrillator pads
