IMPORTANT: Do not leave the module or defibrillator pads connected to the
FR2+ when it is not in use. This will cause failure of the periodic selftest, which,
unless corrected, will disable the FR2+ when it is next needed in an emergency.
WARNING:During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and
defibrillator pads can cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets,
make sure defibrillator pads completely adhere to the skin.
WARNING:Do not let the defibrillator pads touch each other or other
ECG electrodes, lead wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such
contact can cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during defibrillation
and may divert defibrillating current away from the heart.
WARNING: Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm
analysis can cause an incorrect or delayed diagnosis. If the FR2+ gives a
SHOCK ADVISED prompt, keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15
seconds so the HeartStart FR2+ can reconfirm the rhythm analysis before a
shock is delivered.
WARNING:CPR rates significantly above 100 compressions per minute can
cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the FR2+. Under certain
circumstances, this may result in a prompt to stop all movement so that the
device can confirm rhythm analysis.
WARNING:Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury.
Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Do not allow the defibrillator
pads to touch any metal surfaces. Disconnect the pads connector from the
FR2+ before using any other defibrillator.
CAUTION: Aggressive handling of the pads in storage or prior to use can
damage the pads. Discard the defibrillator pads if they become damaged.
CAUTION: Do not place the pads directly over an implanted pacemaker or
defibrillator. A noticeable lump with a surgical scar should indicate its
position.
