1Introduction to the HEARTSTREAM FR2
What is the HEARTSTREAM FR2?
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 defibrillator (“FR2”) is a semi-automatic external
defibrillator (AED). It is compact, lightweight, portable, and battery powered.
It is designed for simple and reliable operation by a trained responder.
The H
EARTSTREAM FR2 has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you
can tell at a glance if it is ready for use. The front panel of the FR2 has an
On/Off button at the top and a Shock button at the bottom. A display screen in
the center of the panel provides text prompts and incident information. Voice
prompts are provided through a speaker located at the base of the FR2. (See
the diagram on the inside front cover for details.)
The H
EARTSTREAM FR2 is available in two models, the M3860A and the
M3861A. They share a set of basic features. In addition, the M3860A
provides optional screen display of the patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) and
can be programmed to permit the advanced mode’s manual charge feature.
NOTE: The FR2 comes with a factory default setup that can be modified.
(See Chapter 6, Setup and Advanced Mode Features, for a description of
setup defaults and options.)

When Is the HEARTSTREAM FR2 Used?
When Is the HEARTSTREAM FR2 Used?
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is used with disposable HEARTSTREAM defibrillation
pads applied to a person who is experiencing the symptoms of sudden cardiac
arrest (SCA): lack of consciousness, lack of breathing, and lack of detectable
pulse. Defibrillation should not be performed on anyone who is conscious,
breathing, or has a detectable pulse.

How Does the HEARTSTREAM FR2 Work?
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is designed to provide external defibrillation therapy
to someone in cardiac arrest. Defibrillation therapy is the best available way
to treat a variety of potentially fatal heart arrhythmias.
The FR2 is extremely easy to use. When connected to defibrillation pads that
are properly applied to the patient’s bare chest, the H
1. prompts you to take specific actions,
2. automatically analyzes the patient's heart rhythm and advises you whether
or not the rhythm is shockable, and
3. arms the Shock button, if appropriate, and instructs you to press it to
deliver a biphasic electric pulse designed to defibrillate the heart.
Detailed instructions for use are provided in Chapter 3.

2Preparing Your HEARTSTREAM FR2 for Use
Overview
There are a few basic steps to preparing your HEARTSTREAM FR2 for use:
Install a battery.
Set the clock in the FR2 (optional).
Run the battery insertion selftest.
Place the FR2 with recommended accessories in a convenient location.
The instructions presented here briefly describe the normal sequence of
preparation. It assumes that you are using a fresh battery, that the selftest passes, and that the factory default settings will not be changed. Exceptions to
this sequence are provided elsewhere in this User’s Guide.
Installing the Battery
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is shipped with a M3863A battery pack. The battery
is enclosed in a gray plastic case. There is a yellow latch at one end that holds
the battery pack in place when it is correctly installed in the FR2. To install
the battery:
1. Hold the battery pack by the latch end and slide it into the battery
compartment at the top of the H
2. Slide the battery all the way into the opening, until the latch clicks into
place. The latch will click into place only when the battery is inserted
correctly.
CAUTI ON : Follow all instructions supplied with the HEARTSTREAM M3863A battery pack. Install the
battery before the expiration date shown on the battery.

3Using Your HEARTSTREAM FR2
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the HEARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency
incident. Some general things to remember are:
Try to relax and stay calm. The HEARTSTREAM FR2 automatically
provides appropriate voice and display prompts to guide you.
The defibrillation pads must have good contact with the patient’s
skin. The pads have a layer of sticky, conductive gel beneath the
protective backing. To work effectively, the gel must not be dried out.
It may be necessary to dry the patient’s chest or to clip or shave
excessive chest hair to provide good contact between the
defibrillation pads and the patient’s skin.
The following pages provide step-by-step instructions for normal use of the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency. (See Chapter 4, Troubleshooting,
Testing, and Maintaining Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2, for troubleshooting tips.)
Be sure to read the Warnings and Cautions on the last page of this chapter.
NOTE: These directions apply to both the model M3860A and the model M3861A
HEARTSTREAM FR2, except where otherwise noted.

Press the On/Off button to turn on the HEARTSTREAM FR2. Follow
the instructions provided by the FR2 voice and screen prompts in
the order indicated.
Remove clothing from the patient's chest. Wipe moisture from the patient's
chest and clip or shave excessive chest hair, if necessary.
Open the defibrillation pads package. Check to see that the pads and attached
cable and connector are undamaged. Pull off the protective backing from the
defibrillation pads and check that the gel has not dried out. If the pads are
damaged or the gel has dried out, use a new set of pads.
Place each pad on the patient. The pads must be placed with the sticky side on
the patient’s skin. IMPORTANT: Refer to the drawing on the back of each pad
for correct positioning. One pad goes just below the patient's right collarbone,
and the other one goes over the patient’s ribs in line with the armpit and below
the left breast.
Connect the pads to the H
connector firmly in the connector socket. A flashing light shows you where

Step 2: ECG Analysis and Monitoring
Step 2: ECG Analysis and Monitoring
Follow the instructions provided by the HEARTSTREAM FR2 voice
and screen prompts in the order indicated.
As soon as the FR2 detects that the defibrillation pads are connected properly,
it automatically begins analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm. The
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 model M3860A also displays the patient’s ECG on the
screen.
If no shock is advised, the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 provides voice and screen
prompts to tell you so. The FR2 instructs you to perform CPR if needed, and
performs background monitoring of the patient’s ECG while you give
appropriate care to the patient.
No more voice prompts are given, until and unless the H
detects a change in the patient’s heart rhythm that may be a shockable

rhythm, or
detects interference with rhythm analysis.
If the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 detects a potentially shockable heart rhythm, it
automatically goes back to analyzing the rhythm to see if a shock is advised.
If a shock is advised, the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 charges to prepare for shock
delivery. It gives the voice warnings and screen prompts to tell you that a
shock is advised, Make sure no one is touching the patient. While the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 is charging, it continues to analyze the patient’s heart
rhythm. If the rhythm changes and a shock is no longer appropriate, the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 disarms and dumps the charge. Voice and display
prompts advise you what action to take.
NOTE: When the HEARTSTREAM FR2 is fully charged, you can disarm it at any time
by pressing the On/Off button to turn off the FR2 and return it to standby mode. (See
the Defibrillator discussion in Appendix B, Technical Specifications, for details on
disarming the FR2.)

EARTSTREAM FR2 continues
to provide voice and text prompts to guide you through additional shocks, if
appropriate.
NOTE: If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds of being prompted,
the FR2 will disarm itself and provide a pause for CPR.
Pause for CPR. After the programmed number of shocks in a shock series are
delivered, the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 automatically pauses for a programmed
amount of time to allow you to perform CPR. After the voice and screen
prompts tell you that the FR2 has paused, there are no further voice prompts
during the rest of the pause, so that you can provide uninterrupted patient
care.
During the pause, the FR2 screen shows a bar that fills in as the pause time is
used up. The screen also shows how much time has gone by since the FR2
was turned on, and how many shocks have been delivered. The
H
EARTSTREAM model M3860A displays the ECG during this period.

WARNING: Do not place the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest and back
(anterior-posterior), unless directed by a physician. The algorithm used by the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 has not been validated with anterior-posterior pads placement.
WARNING: Do not let the defibrillation 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: During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillation pads can
cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillation pads
completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried out defibrillation pads.
WARNING: Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm analysis can cause an

Overview
This chapter provides a guide to troubleshooting, detailed descriptions of the
FR2 selftests, and information on maintenance.
Troubleshooting Guide
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 has several ways of communicating with you if it
detects a problem during use. Depending on the nature of the problem, the
FR2 will use audible beeps, voice prompts, screen prompts, and/or its Status
Indicator.
The following tables describe FR2 responses to problems that may occur
during use, and provide recommendations for how to resolve them. Although
there is some overlap in the information presented, for ease of reference the
tables separately address the following types of issues:
Status Indicator Summary — a basic overview of FR2 usability based on
the states shown by the Status Indicator
Status Indicator Details — possible causes of various Status Indicator
signals and recommended actions
Battery — possible battery-related problems and recommended actions
Defibrillation Pads — possible defibrillation pads problems and
recommended actions
Analysis and Defibrillation — possible problems with rhythm analysis
and defibrillation and recommended actions
It is important to read this information carefully, so you can act quickly in an
emergency.

Testing
Tes tin g
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 has several ways of testing itself and alerting you if
it finds a problem. In addition to the selftest performed each time a battery is
installed, the H
selftests daily.
NOTE: The FR2 selftests are designed to check that the HEARTSTREAM FR2 is ready
for use. However, in the event that the FR2 has been dropped or mishandled, it is
recommended that the battery be removed and reinstalled to initiate a selftest. If the
FR2 has visible signs of damage, do not use it.
Battery Insertion Selftest
As described in Chapter 2, Preparing Your HEARTSTREAM FR2 for Use, when
you insert the battery in the FR2, a menu is displayed and a two-part selftest
will run unless you make another selection from the menu within 10 seconds.
NOTE: Under certain circumstances, the behavior of your FR2 will be different. For
example, the menu screen will not appear when a battery is inserted if:
•the defibrillation pads are attached to a patient, indicating that the H
FR2 is in continued use, or
•the battery is completely depleted.
The menu screen will be displayed, but after 10 seconds the FR2 will go to standby
mode if you make no selection and:
•less than five minutes have passed since the FR2 was last used, indicating that the
FR2 is still in use.
EARTSTREAM FR2 also automatically performs periodic

5-6Clinical and Safety Considerations
6Setup and Advanced Mode Features
Setup Overview
The “setup” of the HEARTSTREAM FR2 AED is made up of several
programmable aspects, or parameters, of FR2 operation. Some setup
parameters govern specific features that are not related to the patient care
protocol, some are used to define the automatic patient care protocol used by
the FR2, and some provide options for manual override of the protocol during
use.
The FR2 comes with a factory default setup designed to meet the needs of
most users. If desired, your Medical Director can revise the setup. Even if no
changes are made, however, it is a good idea to understand the setup of your
FR2 and how the different parameter settings affect the way the device works.
Non-Protocol Parameters
The parameters listed in the following table enable features of FR2 operation
that do not have to do with the patient treatment protocol. The table describes
each of these non-protocol parameters, lists the settings available for it, and
identifies the default setting.

Automatic Protocol Parameters
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is designed to follow an automatic protocol that
guides you through patient treatment with the AED. The default settings for
programmable parameters used in the automatic protocol can be altered by
your Medical Director if desired.
The setup parameters in the following table are used to define the automatic
patient care protocol used by the FR2. 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.
PA RA ME T ERSETTINGSDEFAULTDESCRIPTION
SHOCK SERIES1, 2, 3, 43Sets the number of shocks that must be delivered to activate
an automatic CPR pause.
The length of the CPR pause after completion of a Shock

A new Shock Series begins when a shock is delivered:
• after the FR2 is turned on
• after the automatic CPR pause, or
• after the Pause Key (if enabled) has been pressed, or

TIME SETTING — directs the FR2 to provide a CPR
pause period following an NSA decision (NSA CPR
Pause). If shocks have been delivered in the current
Shock Series (e.g., the NSA decision follows a shock),
the length of the CPR pause is defined by the CPR Timer
setting. Otherwise (e.g., the patient’s initial monitored
rhythm is non-shockable), the length of the CPR pause is
defined by the NSA Action time setting.

CAUTI ON : The HEARTSTREAM FR2 advanced mode’s MANUAL CHARGE feature is intended for use
only by authorized operators who have been specifically trained in cardiac rhythm recognition and in
defibrillation therapy using manual charge and shock delivery.
This feature is particularly useful for organizations that include responders
who have Basic Life Support (BLS) training as well as more highly trained
responders who may be certified in Advanced Life Support (ALS). In such
situations, the Medical Director may set up a “tiered-response” system. The
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 is specifically designed to provide different product
features appropriate to each tier of responder.
In a scenario where a BLS responder is the first on the scene of an incident, he
or she is trained to treat the patient immediately -- for example, to check for
breathing, responsiveness, and pulse; to apply the defibrillation pads and
connect them to the H
prompts provided by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2; and to follow the voice and text
EARTSTREAM FR2 in its AED mode. When an
ALS-trained responder arrives, the BLS responder “hands off” the patient’s
care to the more highly trained responder.

emergency incident, so it can be reviewed after the incident: in internal
memory and on a data card.
Recording Data in Internal Memory
Summary data for an incident is automatically recorded in internal memory
by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 while you are using it.
Recording Data on a Data Card
M3854A data cards can be used to store several hours of detailed incident
data, including events and ECG.
IMPORTANT: To record incident data on a data card, the data card
must be installed before you turn on the H
M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator7-1
EARTSTREAM FR2.
Recording Incident Data
CAUTI ON : The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is designed to be used only with Agilent Technologies-approved
accessories. The HEARTSTREAM FR2 may perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
To i ns tal l a d ata c ard :
1. Make sure the data card is clean and dry.
2. Load the data card into its plastic tray, with the tray’s “tongue” fitting
over the matching yellow area on the data card. The label on the card
should face up. The label has an arrow indicating which side to insert
into the data card port.
3. Make sure the FR2 is off (in standby mode), or that the battery has
been removed.
4. Hold the loaded tray by its handle and gently insert the tray into the
data card port on the right side of the H
EARTSTREAM FR2. Push the
tray all the way into the port. Do not force the tray into the port. If the
tray is hard to insert, remove it and make sure that the arrow label is
face up and pointing toward the data card port.
The data card will automatically record incident data the next time the
EARTSTREAM FR2 is turned on.
H
To avoid running out of data card space during an incident, it is
recommended that each data card be used to record the information for
only one incident and be replaced after each use of the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2.
If you record information from more than one incident on a data card, it is
important to review how much time is left on the used data card before
recording a new incident. To do this, load the data card into the data card
tray, insert the tray in the FR2, then remove and reinstall the battery. The
first screen displayed shows how much recording time remains on the
card.
NOTE: During an incident, if for any reason you replace the battery or turn off the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 for less than five minutes, the FR2 considers this to be a
“continued use” situation, and:
•the information stored about the incident is saved,
7-2Data Management and Review
Reviewing Incident Data
•any additional events recorded after the battery is reinstalled will be
treated as part of the same incident, and
•the selftest will not automatically run when the battery is reinstalled.
To replace a data card:
IMPORTANT: You must turn the FR2 off (return it to standby mode)
before you remove the data card, to ensure that no incident data are
lost.
1. Press the On/Off button to turn off the FR2. Never replace the data
card unless the FR2 is turned off.
2. Remove the loaded data card tray by grasping its handle and pulling it
out of the port.
3. Remove the data card from the tray.
4. Give the data card to the appropriate person in your organization.
5. The data card tray should always be reinserted into the port of the
EARTSTREAM FR2. Either load a new data card into the tray and
H
insert it, or insert the empty data card tray into the port.

EGlossary of Terms
The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the
H
EARTSTREAM 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 Mode ..................The standard FR2 treatment mode, with voice and screen prompts guiding the
responder through connecting the defibrillation 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.
Arrhythmia .................An unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart.
Battery .........................The sealed lithium manganese dioxide battery used to power the FR2. It is
provided in a gray pack that fits into a compartment at the top of the FR2.
BLS ..............................Basic Life Support.

M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 DefibrillatorE-1
Continued Use ............A condition in which use of the HEARTSTREAM 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.
CPR Timer ..................A programmable period provided by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 during which
the responder can administer CPR.
Defibrillation ..............Termination of cardiac fibrillation by applying electrical energy
Defibrillation Charge .Electrical energy stored in the capacitor of the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 as it arms
for shock delivery.
Defibrillation Pads .....The self-adhesive electrode pads applied to the patient’s bare chest and used
to detect the patient’s heart rhythm and transfer the defibrillation shock. Only
H
EARTSTREAM defibrillation pads can be used with the FR2.
ECG .............................Electrocardiogram, a display or printout of the electrical rhythm of the heart
as detected through defibrillation electrode pads.
Event ...........................An action recognized or performed by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 as a step in the
sequence of using the device in an incident. Examples include: applying the
pads and connecting them to the H
EARTSTREAM FR2, analyzing heart rhythm,
delivering a shock, etc.
Fibrillation ..................A disturbance of the normal heart rhythm that results in chaotic, disorganized
activity that cannot effectively pump blood. Ventricular fibrillation
(fibrillation in the lower chambers of the heart) is associated with sudden
cardiac arrest.
Heart Rhythm
(ECG) Analysis ...........A system used by the FR2 to determine if the patient’s heart rhythm is
shockable — ventricular fibrillation (VF) or certain ventricular tachycardias
(VTs). See SMART Analysis.
E-2
Impedance ...................Electrically, this is the total opposition offered by the body to the flow of the
electrical shock waveform delivered by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2. The FR2
automatically monitors the electrical impedance between the defibrillation
pads placed on the patient’s bare chest, and adjusts the shock waveform
appropriately.
Incident .......................The series of events involved in treating a patient with the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2.
Infrared
Communications ........A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It
is used to transmit information to and from the H
another FR2 or a computer running C
ODERUNNER software.
EARTSTREAM FR2 and
Manual Charge ..........A feature of the advanced mode used by an authorized ALS-certified
responder that allows the user to arm the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 for shock
delivery.
Manual Disarm ..........A feature of the advanced mode used by an authorized ALS-certified
responder that allows the user to dump the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 charge
internally.
Monitoring ..................A mode of background analysis to determine if patient rhythm has changed to
a shockable rhythm.
Non-Shockable
Rhythm .......................A heart rhythm that the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 determines is not appropriate for
shock delivery.
NSA .............................No Shock Advised decision, made by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 based on
analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
Pacemaker ..................External or implanted cardiac pulse generator that stimulates the heart
M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 DefibrillatorE-3

Pause ...........................A defined period during which the HEARTSTREAM FR2 does not perform
rhythm analysis.
Periodic Selftests ........Daily, weekly, and monthly tests automatically conducted by the FR2 when it
is in the standby mode. The tests monitor many of key functions and
parameters of the FR2, including battery capacity and the state of its internal
circuitry.
Presenting ECG ..........The heart rhythm seen by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 when it is first connected to
the patient (via the defibrillation pads) and begins rhythm analysis.
Prompts .......................The voice commands and screen text used to guide the responder through use
of the H
Protocol .......................A sequence of operations performed by the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 to treat the patient.
