1 Introduction 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 HEARTSTREAM 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 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.

1-1 |
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 HEARTSTREAM FR2 or who are 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,* the HEARTSTREAM FR2 should not be used to treat infant cardiac arrest, 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 HEARTSTREAM FR2:
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.
How Is the HEARTSTREAM FR2 Supplied?
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 is supplied with a battery pack, defibrillation pads with integrated cable and connector, and a data card tray. Other accessories are available. See Appendix A for a list of accessories and other recommended supplies.

2 Preparing 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 HEARTSTREAM FR2.
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 HEARTSTREAM FR2 automatically turns on. The Status Indicator displays a flashing black hourglass. The Shock button light and the indicator light for the defibrillation pads connector port turn on briefly.

The display screen brings up the main menu. From this menu, you can start the FR2 battery insertion selftest, review information from the last time the FR2 was used, or go to the next screen for other options. Information about the optional data card and the battery status is also provided. (See Chapter 7, Data Management and Review, 
for details about reviewing an incident and using a data card.)
NOTE: This screen will not be displayed if the FR2 is connected to defibrillation pads (that are applied to the patient) when the battery is inserted, and you will not be able to access the menu items. In addition, the battery insertion selftest and periodic automatic selftests cannot run while the defibrillation pads are connected.
Be sure to unplug the pads connector from the FR2 after each use. Do not store the FR2 with the pads connected.
NOTE: To move around the menus displayed, use the Option buttons as follows:
•Press the LOWER Option button to move the highlight bar from one item to another on the menu.
•Press the UPPER Option button to select the highlighted item or to scroll through the settings for that item.
If you select NEXT, the menu displayed lets you review the history of the FR2, review the history of the battery being used, access setup data, set the clock, or return to the first menu. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HEARTSTREAM FR2, for details about the review options and Chapter 6, Setup and Advanced Mode Features, for information on the setup option.)
NOTE: If you make no selection for 10 seconds, the selftest will automatically run. If you want to select something different from either of these menus, you must do so before the selftest begins, or remove and reinstall the battery to bring up the main menu. You can press the On/Off button at any time to turn off the FR2 and return it to standby (ready for use) mode. To use the FR2 when it is in standby mode, press the On/Off button to turn it on.
Setting the Clock
It is recommended that the first time you prepare your HEARTSTREAM FR2 for use, you check the FR2’s internal clock to be sure it is set to the correct date and local time. You can reset it if necessary.
To see the clock settings, select NEXT from the first menu, within 10 seconds of installing the battery, and then select CLOCK. To do this:

Running the Battery Insertion Selftest
Except in an emergency, it is recommended that you run this selftest every time you change the battery. Make sure the defibrillation pads are not connected to the FR2 before running the battery insertion selftest.
The selftest has two parts. The first part tests the FR2 circuitry and memory. The second part is interactive and requires you to respond to prompts in order to make sure the display, buttons, lights, speaker, and beeper of the HEARTSTREAM FR2 are working properly. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HEARTSTREAM FR2, for details about this selftest.)
To run the selftest:
1.Make sure the FR2 has not been in use for at least 5 minutes, and that the defibrillation pads are not connected to the device.
2. Insert the battery into the battery port. The first screen displayed has RUN SELFTEST highlighted.
3.Press the upper Option button to activate the test, OR
4.Make no selection for 10 seconds, and the selftest will start automatically.
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 in standby (ready for use) mode.

Placing and Securing the HEARTSTREAM FR2
NOTE: Do not store the FR2 with the defibrillation pads attached. Do not open the pads package until ready for use.
With the battery installed and the FR2 stored in appropriate environmental conditions, the HEARTSTREAM FR2 performs detailed periodic selftests, to make sure that it remains ready for use. (See Appendix B for the environmental storage specifications.)
While the FR2 is in the standby mode, the Status Indicator shows the flashing black hourglass unless the periodic selftests detect a problem. If a problem is detected, the Status Indicator will show a flashing red X or a solid red X and the FR2 will beep (“chirp”) to alert you to the need for troubleshooting. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, 2 Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HEARTSTREAM FR2, for instructions.)

3 Using 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 HEARTSTREAM FR2 in an emergency. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HEARTSTREAM 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.

Step 1: Preparation
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 HEARTSTREAM 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 HEARTSTREAM FR2 |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
If no shock is advised, the HEARTSTREAM 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. 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 |
3 |
|
|
|
heart rhythm without CPR artifact. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Monitoring continues until and unless the HEARTSTREAM FR2 detects a change in the |
|
|
|
|
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 HEARTSTREAM 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 that no one is touching the patient. While the HEARTSTREAM FR2 is charging, it |
|
|
|
|
continues to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm. If the rhythm changes and a shock |
|
|
|
|
is no longer appropriate, the HEARTSTREAM 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.) |

Step 3: Shock Delivery
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 HEARTSTREAM FR2 will not automatically deliver a shock.
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. Then HEARTSTREAM FR2 goes back to analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm to see if the shock was successful. The HEARTSTREAM 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. The device will resume analyzing at the end of the pause period or when the Resume Analyzing key is pressed.
Pause for CPR. After the programmed number of shocks in a shock series are delivered, the HEARTSTREAM 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 HEARTSTREAM model M3860A displays the ECG, if enabled, during this period.

Step 3: Shock Delivery
WARNING: Do not place the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest and back |
|
||
(anterior-posterior). The algorithm used by the HEARTSTREAM 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 |
|
||
incorrect or delayed diagnosis. If the HEARTSTREAM FR2 gives a SHOCK ADVISED prompt, keep |
|
||
the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds so the HEARTSTREAM FR2 can reconfirm the |
3 |
||
rhythm analysis before a shock is delivered. |
|||
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: CPR rates significantly above the American Heart Association guidelines of 100 |
|
||
|
|||
compressions per minute can cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the HEARTSTREAM FR2. |
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Defibrillation 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. |
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Aggressive handling of the pads in storage or prior to use can damage the pads. Discard the |
|
||
defibrillation pads if they become damaged. |

Your HEARTSTREAM FR2
Overview
This chapter provides information on HEARTSTREAM FR2 maintenance, detailed descriptions of the selftests, and a guide to troubleshooting.
Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance of the HEARTSTREAM FR2 is very simple, but it is a very important factor in its dependability. The HEARTSTREAM 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, a detailed selftest is run whenever a battery is installed in the FR2.
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 requires no calibration or verification of energy delivery. The
HEARTSTREAM FR2 has no user-serviceable parts.
CAUTION: Improper maintenance may damage the HEARTSTREAM FR2 or cause it to function improperly.
Maintain the HEARTSTREAM FR2 only as described in this User's Guide or as designated by your program's
Medical Director.
CAUTION: Electrical shock hazard. Dangerous high voltages and currents are present. Do not open the
HEARTSTREAM FR2, remove its covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the
HEARTSTREAM FR2. The HEARTSTREAM FR2 should be returned to an authorized service center for repair.
The following table presents a schedule of suggested maintenance for the
HEARTSTREAM FR2.
