NOTE:It is important to perform CPR for the entire duration of the CPR
interval, until you hear the voice prompt telling you to stop CPR.
ECG DISPLAY FOR ONGOING OBSERVATION
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the HeartStart FR2+ M3860A
with ECG display enabled can also be used with the FR2+ ECG assessment
module to provide a non-diagnostic ECG display of the patient’s heart rhythm
for attended patient monitoring. The system is intended for use on a conscious
or breathing patient, regardless of age. While connected to the FR2+ ECG
assessment module, the FR2+'s shock capability is disabled, but the FR2+
continues to evaluate the patient's ECG. There are no known contraindications
to use of the FR2+ ECG assessment module.
The module is designed for connection to ECG electrodes per AAMI or IEC
color convention. The module’s colored leadwires are connected to ECG
electrodes, which are then placed on the patient’s bare chest, and the module’s
device connector is inserted in the FR2+’s connector socket.
NOTE:It is not necessary to turn the FR2+ Defibrillator off prior to
connecting the ECG assessment module.
Once connected, the HeartStart FR2+ displays and evaluates the patient's ECG
(Lead II). Follow all prompts from the defibrillator. If a data card is used when
the ECG assessment module is connected, all recorded events can be viewed
using one of the Event Review data management software products.
Check the patient if:
• indicated by the observed ECG display,
• the patient becomes unresponsive or stops breathing, or
• the FR2+ prompts
IF NEEDED, ATTACH DEFIBRILLATION PADS.
If appropriate, unplug the ECG assessment module from the FR2+, attach the
defibrillator pads to the patient, and connect the defibrillator pads to the FR2+.
Verify that the defibrillator pads are at least one (1) inch (2.5 cm) away from the
ECG electrodes.
