STEP 2: ECG ANALYSIS AND CPR INTERVAL
Follow the instructions provided by the FR2+ Defibrillator’s voice and text
prompts.
As soon as the FR2+ detects that the defibrillator
pads are connected properly, it automatically begins
analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm. Do not touch
the patient during rhythm analysis.
If no shock is advised
, the HeartStart FR2+ provides
voice and text prompts to tell you so and provides a
CPR interval with a prompt to perform CPR, if
needed. The duration of the CPR interval is determined by CPR Timer setting.
Following the CPR interval, the FR2+ reanalyzes the patient’s heart rhythm. If no
shock is again advised, the device goes into a patient care interval, during which
you can perform CPR if needed or otherwise tend to the patient. The duration
of the patient care interval is determined by the NSA Action setting.
NOTE:CPR may interfere with background heart rhythm monitoring by the
FR2+ in monitoring mode. During CPR, periodically pause for 15 seconds to
reassess the patient and allow the FR2+ to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm
without possible interference from CPR artifact.
If a shock is advised
, the HeartStart FR2+ charges to prepare for shock delivery.
It gives the voice and text prompts to tell you that a shock is advised.
