D GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the HeartStart
FR2+ and its use.
advanced mode A programmable treatment mode that permits an authorized user to control
when the FR2+ starts rhythm analysis and (model M3860A only) when to begin
defibrillator charging for shock delivery.
AED Automated external defibrillator.
AED mode The standard FR2+ treatment mode, with voice and text prompts guiding the
responder through connecting the defibrillator pads, waiting for rhythm analysis,
and delivering a shock if needed. In this mode, heart rhythm analysis and
monitoring, and shock decision and charging for shock delivery are automatically
performed by the FR2+.
ALS Advanced Life Support.
analysis See “
SMART analysis.”
arrhythmia An unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart.
background analysis/
monitoring
Analysis for potentially shockable rhythms during monitoring mode.
battery See “standard battery” and “rechargeable battery.”
BLS Basic Life Support.
configuration The settings for all operating options of the FR2+, including treatment protocol.
The factory default configuration can be modified by authorized personnel using
a Training & Administration Pack.
continued use A condition in which use of the HeartStart FR2+ is interrupted for less than five
minutes (e.g., for battery replacement). When the battery is reinserted or the
unit is turned on again, the information stored about the interrupted incident is
saved, any additional events recorded after the battery is reinstalled are treated
as part of the same incident, and the selftest does not automatically run when
the battery is reinstalled.
