4 MAINTAINING, TESTING, AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the FR2+ is very simple, but it is a very important factor in its
dependability. When in standby mode (with the battery installed), the FR2+
performs many maintenance activities itself. These include daily and weekly
selftests to verify readiness for use and more detailed monthly selftests that also
verify the shock waveform delivery system. In addition, each time the FR2+ is
first turned on, it executes a selftest. Further, a detailed battery insertion selftest
is run whenever a battery is installed in the FR2+.
The FR2+ requires no calibration or verification of energy delivery. The FR2+
has no user-serviceable parts.
CAUTION: Improper maintenance may damage the FR2+ or cause it to
function improperly. Maintain the FR2+ only as described in these
Instructions for Use or as designated by your program's Medical Director.
CAUTION: Electrical shock hazard. Dangerous high voltages and currents
are present. Do not open the FR2+, remove its covers, or attempt repair.
There are no user-serviceable components in the FR2+. The FR2+ should be
returned to Philips for repair.
SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following table presents a sample maintenance schedule for the FR2+.
Different frequency intervals may be appropriate, depending upon the
environment in which the FR2+ is used. The required maintenance frequency is
at the discretion of your program’s Medical Director.
