AUTOMATIC PROTOCOL PARAMETERS
The HeartStart FR2+ is designed to follow an automatic patient care protocol
defined by the parameters in the following table. Many of these parameters
interact with each other, so it is very important to understand how each
parameter affects the protocol. The description of each parameter identifies any
interacting parameters in boldface type.
ECG Out ON, OFF OFF Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) ECG data transmission from the infrared
communications port of the FR2+. ECG data can be sent even if ECG
display is disabled or (M3861A) unavailable.
NOTE: If ECG out is set to ON, autosend PST is automatically set to OFF.
autosend PST N/A ON No longer configurable. Transmission of the results of the FR2+’s periodic
selftests (PST) from its infrared communications port is always on.

shock series 1, 2, 3, 4 1 Sets the number of shocks that must be delivered to activate an
automatic CPR interval.
A new Shock Series begins when a shock is delivered:
• after the FR2+ is turned on
• after the automatic CPR interval, or
• after the Pause Key (if enabled) has been pressed, or
• (with shock series set to a non-default value) if the time since the
previous shock exceeds the protocol timeout setting.
protocol
timeout
(minutes)
0.5, 1.0, 1.5,
2.0, 2.5, 3.0,
3.5, ∞
(infinite)
1.0 Sets the time interval used to determine if a delivered shock should be
counted as part of the current shock series. This parameter is relevant
only when the shock series is set to a non-default value.
CPR timer
(minutes)
0.5, 1.0, 1.5,
2.0, 2.5, 3.0
2.0 Sets the length of the CPR Interval as well as CPR First and manually
initiated pauses.
After the CPR Interval, the FR2+ returns to automatic rhythm analysis.
NOTE: The actual CPR Interval may be up to 10 seconds longer than the
selected setting, to allow time for initial voice prompting.
