IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are
directly related to how soon victims receive treatment. For every minute of
delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%.
Treatment with CPR and defibrillation cannot assure survival. In some
patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not
survivable despite any available care.

DESCRIPTION AND INDICATIONS FOR USE
The HeartStart FR3 Defibrillator (FR3) is a compact, lightweight, battery-powered automated external
defibrillator (AED) designed for use by trained responders to treat suspected victims of ventricular
fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and certain ventricular
tachycardias (VTs). The FR3 is used with disposable defibrillator pads applied to potential victims of
SCA with the following symptoms:
• Unresponsiveness
• Absence of normal breathing
If in doubt, apply the pads, as illustrated.
The FR3 is intended for use on adults and
children over 55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old.
The FR3 is also intended for children under
55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old when used
with the optional FR3 Infant/Child Key. If the
Infant/Child Key is not available, or you are
uncertain of the child’s age or weight, do not
delay treatment. Apply the pads as illustrated
for a child and use the defibrillator.
WARNING: Performance of the SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings for the CPR First
feature has not been established in patients under 55 lb (25 kg) or 8 years old.
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
INTENDED USER
The HeartStart FR3 is intended for use by responders who have been trained in its operation and
qualified by training in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), or another physicianauthorized emergency medical response program.
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
The FR3 is shipped with a factory-default setup optimized for compliance with Guidelines 2010 to
meet the needs of most users. However, the FR3 is extensively configurable. Any changes to default
settings must be done under supervision of the Medical Director. Depending on the kind of changes
you will be making, you will also need the following:
• Changing the FR3 primary language: the FR3 language card, provided with certain versions of the
FR3. If you do not have a language card and want to modify the default language of the FR3, or to
enable the bilingual option and select a second language, use HeartStart Configure software,
version 3.1 or higher and a data card.
• Changing the FR3 device operation, self-test options, patient care, defibrillation, and advanced use mode
parameter settings: the HeartStart Configure software, available separately.

• Enabling the FR3 bilingual option and selecting a secondary language: the HeartStart Configure
(Optional) Install the FR3
language card.
(Optional) Re-install the
battery while holding down
the right option button.

software and the FR3 language card or a data card.
Setup with the FR3 language card (if provided) and the optional FR3 data card is discussed below. See
the FR3 Instructions for Administrators CD-ROM, provided with the FR3, for a list of accessories and
directions on setting up the FR3 with certain other optional accessories.
INSTALLING THE FR3 LANGUAGE CARD AND THE BATTERY
The primary language is the language the FR3 uses for voice and text prompts. The FR3 can operate in
any language that is provided on the FR3 language card.
If you do not want to change the default primary language, go to the following section,
“Installing the Optional Data Card and the Battery.”
To change the default primary language to a different primary language, follow these steps:
1. Insert the FR3 language card into the data card slot in the bottom of the FR3 battery
compartment. A label on the floor of the battery compartment shows the correct orientation for
inserting the card. A retention clip helps hold the card in the slot. The tail on the data card serves
as a visual reminder that a card is installed and aids in card removal.
2. Check the battery label to be sure the battery is within its install-by date. Remove the battery
from its packaging. Install the battery in the FR3 battery compartment, while holding down the right
option button. Keep the button pressed until the language selection screen is displayed. The FR3
display screen automatically provides a list of languages. There may be more than one screen of
languages.
3. Press the option button to scroll to the language you want, then press the option button to
select it. (If no selection is made within 60 seconds, the FR3 displays an error message and shuts
down after approximately 5 minutes.) The new language file automatically loads. The FR3 displays
the language name and a progress bar. During language installation, the FR3 cannot be turned off.
When the language load is complete, the FR3 will operate in the new language. Other default or
previously modified configuration settings will remain unchanged. The FR3 displays a screen for 10
seconds announcing that the setup is complete, and reminding you to remove the language card.
4. Now, remove the battery and the FR3 language card. To remove the language card, grasp the data
card by its tail, press the retention clip away from the card, and pull the card out. Store the
language card in a safe place for future use or reference.
5. Insert an FR3 data card, if desired, in the data card slot (see following section), and reinstall the
battery. As soon as the battery is installed, the FR3 automatically runs a detailed interactive userinitiated test. Press the buttons when directed, or the test will fail.
6. On completion of the test, the FR3 displays the results and then displays the main Administration
screen. If the FR3 clock has not yet been set, the FR3 will provide a reminder message. See
instructions below.
7. After setting the clock, press the green On/Off button to display the status screen and put the
defibrillator into standby.
