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.
EARTSTREAM FR2 has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you can tell at
The H
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 HEARTSTREAM 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?
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 responsiveness, lack of breathing, and lack of detectable pulse.
Defibrillation should not be performed on anyone who is responsive, is breathing,
or has a detectable pulse.
M3860A and M3861A HEARTSTREAM FR2 Defibrillator1-1
How Does the HEARTSTREAM FR2 Work?
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is intended for use by emergency care personnel who have
been specifically trained in the operation of the H
qualified by training in Basic Life Support (BLS), in Advanced Life Support (ALS),
or in other physician-authorized emergency medical response.
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is not intended for administration of energy at pediatric
energy settings. In accordance with the recommendations of the American Heart
Association,
but standard operating procedures should be followed in treating children over eight
years of age.
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

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.
Before installing the battery, make sure the defibrillation pads are not connected to
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.
CAUTION: Follow all instructions supplied with the HEARTSTREAM M3863A battery pack. Install the battery
before the expiration date shown on the battery.
When the battery is installed, the H
Status Indicator displays a flashing black hourglass. The Shock button light and the
indicator light for the defibrillation pads connector port turn on briefly.

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
EARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and

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 HEARTSTREAM FR2. Insert the defibrillation pads connector
firmly in the connector socket. A flashing light shows you where the socket is
located, at the top left of the H
EARTSTREAM FR2.
3-2Using Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2
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
model M3860A can display the patient’s ECG on the screen. When the ECG display is
enabled, the patient’s heart rate is also displayed during background
monitoring.ECG and patient heart rate are always displayed when the advanced
mode is entered.
EARTSTREAM FR2
If no shock is advised, the H
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. These instructions are repeated at the programmed Monitor Prompt interval
(the default interval is one minute) while the FR2 is monitoring the patient.
NOTE: CPR may interfere with background monitoring. During CPR, periodically
pause for 15 seconds to check the patient and allow the FR2 to analyze the patient’s
heart rhythm without CPR artifact.
Monitoring continues until and unless the H
patient’s heart rhythm that may be a shockable rhythm, detects interference with
rhythm analysis, or is turned off.
If the HEARTSTREAM 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
gives the voice warnings and screen prompts to tell you that a shock is advised. Make
sure that no one is touching the patient. While the H
continues to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm. If the rhythm changes and a shock
is no longer appropriate, the H
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.)

Step 3: Shock Delivery
Press the Shock button to deliver the shock.
IMPORTANT: You must press the button for a shock to be delivered. The
EARTS TREAM FR2 will not automatically deliver a shock.
H
There are four ways you can tell that the HEARTSTREAM FR2 is ready to deliver a
shock:
you hear a voice prompt telling you to deliver a shock,
you see the Shock button flashing,
you hear a steady tone, and/or
you see a screen prompt telling you to press the orange (Shock) button.
After you press the Shock button, a voice prompt tells you the shock was delivered.
EARTSTREAM FR2 goes back to analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm to see if
Then H
the shock was successful. The H
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. The device will resume
analyzing at the end of the pause period or when the Resume Analyzing key is
pressed.
EARTSTREAM FR2 continues to provide voice and text

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, if enabled, during this period.

Testing
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
HEARTSTREAM FR2 also automatically performs periodic 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, contact Agilent Technologies for technical support.
Battery Insertion Selftest
As described in Chapter 2, Preparing Your HEARTSTREAM FR2 for Use, when you
insert the battery in the FR2,be sure that the defibrillation pads are not connected
to the device. When you insert the battery, a menu is displayed and a two-part
selftest will run unless you make another selection from the menu within 10
seconds. The selftest includes an automatic part and an interactive part.
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
EARTSTREAM FR2 is in continued use, or
H
•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.

screen display prompts you to replace the battery or the Status Indicator shows a
flashing red X, but you do not have a spare battery, you can continue to use the
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 until the battery is completely depleted. This may be necessary in
an emergency.
NOTE: If you connect defibrillation pads (that are applied to the patient) to the FR2
during a battery insertion selftest, the selftest will stop so that the FR2 is ready for
use.
During the automatic part of the selftest, the screen displays a bar that fills in as the
test continues. When that part of the test is finished, the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 beeps.
The results of the selftest are automatically recorded on the data card while the tests

Troubleshooting Guide
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 has several ways of communicating with you if it detects a
problem during periodic selftesting or use. Depending on the nature of the problem,
the FR2 will use audible beeps (“chirps”), 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 and other
signals, and recommended actions
Battery and Training & Administration Pack — possible power-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.
NOTE: Perform CPR (if needed) any time there is a delay before the HEARTSTREAM
FR2 can be used.

Defibrillation Warnings and Cautions
SAFETY LEVEL
WARNINGDefibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury. Do not touch the patient during
defibrillation. Do not allow the defibrillation pads to touch any metal surfaces. Disconnect
the pads connector from the HEARTSTREAM FR2 before using any other defibrillator.
SAFETY LEVELS
WARNINGDo not place the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest and back (anterior-posterior). This
pad placement can interfere with correct rhythm analysis and shock/no shock decision. For
correct operation, the HEARTSTREAM FR2 requires that the defibrillation pads be placed on the
chest (anterior-anterior), as shown on the pads.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency heart rhythms may not be

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
are not related to 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.

following an NSA decision and to prompt the user
periodically to provide CPR. The interval for CPR
prompting is set by the Monitor Prompt Interval.
TIME SETTING — directs the FR2 to provide a CPR pause
period following an NSA decision (NSA CPR Pause).
• If no shocks have been delivered in the current Shock
Series (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.
• If shocks have been delivered in the current Shock

CAUTION: Alteration of the factory default setup of the FR2 can affect its performance and should be
performed under the authorization of your Medical Director. Modifications to device operation resulting from
changes to the default settings should be specifically covered in user training.
CAUTION: 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
HEARTSTREAM FR2; and to follow the voice and text prompts provided by the
H
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.
Because these second-tier responders have advanced training and developed clinical
skills, they may be authorized to access the advanced mode features of the
EARTSTREAM FR2. These include user-initiated analysis and manual charge and
H
disarm control.

Recording Incident Data
To install a data card:
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
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 that it be
replaced after each use of the H
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.
EARTSTREAM FR2. Push the tray all the way into the
EARTSTREAM FR2.
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,
•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.

FClinical Summary
Introduction
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 utilizes the patented SMART Biphasic waveform. This
waveform has been extensively tested in pre-clinical and both electrophysiology
laboratory and out-of-hospital clinical studies. The following information
summarizes the results of a large study comparing the use of SMART Biphasic AEDs
to conventional monophasic in out-of-hospital emergency resuscitation situations.
Background
Agilent Technologies conducted an international, multicenter, prospective,
randomized clinical study to assess the effectiveness of the SMART Biphasic
waveform in out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests (SCAs) as compared to
monophasic waveforms. The primary objective of the study was to compare the
percent of patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) as the initial monitored rhythm
that were defibrillated in the first series of three shocks or fewer.
Methods
Victims of out-of-hospital SCA were prospectively enrolled in four emergency
medical service (EMS) systems. Responders used either 150 J SMART Biphasic
AEDs or 200-360 J monophasic waveform AEDs. A sequence of up to three
defibrillation shocks was delivered. For the biphasic AEDs there was a single energy
output of 150 J for all shocks. For monophasic AEDs, the shock sequence was
200-200-360 J. Defibrillation was defined as termination of VF for at least five
seconds, without regard to hemodynamic factors.
Results
Randomization to the use of monophasic or SMART Biphasic AEDs was done in 338
SCAs from four emergency medical service systems. VF was observed as the first
monitored rhythm in 115 patients. The biphasic and monophasic groups for these
115 patients were similar in terms of age, sex, weight, primary structural heart
disease, cause and location of arrest, and bystanders witnessing the arrest or
performing CPR.

Clinical Summary
The 150 J SMART Biphasic waveform defibrillated 98% of VF patients in the first
series of three shocks or fewer compared with 69% of patients treated with
monophasic waveform shocks. Outcomes are summarized as follows:
Survival to Hospital Admission33/54 (61%)31/61 (51%)0.27

Conclusions
The 150 J SMART Biphasic waveform defibrillated at higher rates than the 200-360 J
monophasic waveforms, resulting in more patients achieving return of spontaneous
circulation (ROSC) (p=0.01). EMS system outcomes of survival discharge were not
significantly different statistically. However, patients resuscitated with the
lower-energy SMART Biphasic waveform were more likely to have good cerebral
performance (CPC, cerebral performance category) (p=0.04).
