Press the On/Off button to turn on the HeartStart FR2+
Defibrillator. Follow the instructions provided by the FR2+ voice
and text prompts.
• Remove clothing from the patient's upper body. If needed,
wipe moisture from the patient's skin and clip or shave excessive chest hair.
• If the patient appears to be under eight years of age or 55 lb. (25 Kg), use
M3870A FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, if available.
If the infant/child pads are not available, or if the child appears older/larger,
use adult defibrillator pads.

DETERMINE THE CHILD’S EXACT AGE/WEIGHT.
