FRED easyport
2 Components and Operation
Its small size and light weight make the FRED easyport the ideal companion of physicians, paramedics, public service staff and other persons trained in early defibrillation. Risk patients carry their own rescue device after they and their families have
been instructed by their doctor. This dramatically reduces the response time to treat
ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, granting the victims a much better
chance of survival.
2.1 Design
The FRED easyport is a battery-powered automated external defibrillator (AED)
that delivers biphasic defibrillation pulses. The patient is defibrillated via disposable
adhesive electrodes (pads), which also acquire the ECG signal for analysis. Adhesive electrodes for children and adults are available. The device recognises the connected electrodes and selects the defibrillation energy levels accordingly. The user
will be given visual and audible instructions (display/loudspeaker). The device is
powered by a disposable, replaceable lithium battery. The capacity is sufficient for:
• 45 shocks at maximum energy, or
• 2 hours of monitoring or
• 5 years of storage
Our customer service can configure various device functions via a special PC connection (see "Function" section).
2.1.1 Available Options
• SCHILLER ECG memory card
• Manual operational mode (see page 23)
2.1.2 Overview of the Configurable Settings
The following settings can be configured by the SCHILLER after-sales service:
• Voice volume
• Energy levels of the first, second and third shocks, individually for adults and children
• Initiation of ECG analysis with button or automatic
• Activation/deactivation of a 16.7 Hz filter
• Silent operational mode (spoken text with reduced repetition rate)
• Trace deactivation
Biocompatibility
The parts of the product described in this user guide, including all accessories, that
come in contact with the patient during the intended use, fulfil the biocompatibility requirements of the applicable standards. If you have questions in this matter, please
contact SCHILLER.

FRED easyport
2.4 Function
2.4.1 Self-Test
To ensure its readiness for use, the device runs a self-test to check the unit and the
battery. The self-test is carried out automatically every time the unit is switched on.
If the device detects an error during the self-test, an error message is displayed.
2.4.2 Defibrillation Procedure
The user is guided through all operation steps by spoken and displayed instructions.
The FRED easyport runs in semi-automatic mode. This means that the shock must
be released by the user.
When the device is switched on, the user is prompted to apply the electrodes to the
patient. Next, he or she is prompted to start the ECG recording and to stay clear of
the patient. The analysis takes approximately 10 seconds. Depending on the configuration, the unit automatically starts analysing the ECG.
2.4.3 Device Identifies a Shockable Rhythm
If the analysis program detects a shockable rhythm, the defibrillation energy is
charged and the user is prompted to deliver the shock. Shockable rhythms are:
• Ventricular fibrillation
• Ventricular tachycardia with a rate exceeding 180 beats per minute
Even if the device detects a shockable rhythm, a shock must only be delivered if lack
of breathing and lack of circulatory signs have been established.
If the shock is not successful, the device automatically charges the defibrillation energy for another shock after every further analysis.
The SCHILLER service centre can define other settings if required (see section 7,
page 32).
The following standard energy levels are preset:
Shock Adults Neonates
1 120 joules 15 joules
2 120 joules 30 joules
3 120 joules 50 joules

First shock After the shock, the user is prompted to:
1. alternately carry out 30
1
chest compressions and give 2 breaths for 2 minutes.
2. after 2 minutes, the unit prompts the user again to start a new ECG analysis. De-
pending on the configuration, this new analysis may start automatically.
Shock unsuccessful: Second shock release and prompt to restart with step 1.
2
Shock successful: Information that no shock is required and
• prompt to carry out cardiac compressions and respiration alternately for 2 minutes
until the patient breathes or new instructions follow.
• after 2 minutes, prompt to start a new ECG analysis
2.4.4 Device Detects no Shockable Rhythm
If the analysis program does not identify a shockable rhythm, the FRED easyport
informs the user:
• that no shock is required
• that he or she should alternately carry out 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths
for 2 minutes
• after 2 minutes, prompt to start a new ECG analysis
1. When paediatric electrodes are used, CPR is carried out in the rhythm 15:2 if 2 rescuers are
on the spot, otherwise in the 30:2 rhythm.
2. CPR should be continued even after a successful shock to reduce the risk of momentary
electrical myocardial stunning after the defibrillation.
For Qualified Physicians only
The analysis can at any time be repeated during CPR by pressing the blue analysis
button (2).

3 Operation
3.1 Start-up and Preparation
3.1.1 Inserting the Battery
The device is powered by a non-rechargeable lithium battery. The battery has a
guaranteed standby operation of at least 5 years if the device is not used.
After five years – if the device has not been used – the battery must be replaced.
1. Insert the battery into the device as shown in Fig. 3.1. Make sure it clicks into
place.
2. Switch the unit on. A self-test will run. (See section 2.4.1.)
3. Check the battery status on the display. If the battery is low, the battery symbol
(1) is displayed.
V To enable a quick reaction in the case of any emergency, the high-potential ca-
pacitor is charged on switch-on, reducing the battery's capacity (see page 32).
The battery capacity is also reduced by the capacitor's trickle charge while the
unit is on.
For these reasons:
– Always keep a new spare battery on hand
– Always note the number of switch-ons and the battery's running time in the In-
spection Report on page 36, even when you only demonstrate the device to
other users.
Fig. 3.1 Inserting the battery
V Danger of explosion! The device is not designed for use in areas where an ex-
plosion hazard may occur. In addition, use of the defibrillator is not permitted in
an oxygen-enriched environment or in the vicinity of flammable substances
(gasoline) or anaesthetics. Oxygenation in the vicinity of the defibrillation electrodes must be strictly avoided.
V Danger of electric shock! The FRED easyport is a high-voltage electric therapy
device. Improper use of the device can endanger life. Always follow the instructions given in this user guide.
V Before using the device, the user is required to ascertain that it is functioning cor-
rectly and in good operating condition. In particular, the cables, connectors and
electrodes must be inspected. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
V The user must make sure that there are no conductive connections between the
patient and other persons during ECG analysis and defibrillation.
V Avoid defibrillation in very moist or wet surroundings.
V To ensure the defibrillator's readiness for use, always keep a spare battery on
hand.

FRED easyport
3.1.2 Ensuring Operational Readiness
To ensure its readiness for use, the device runs a self-test to check the unit and the
battery. The self-test is carried out when the unit is switched on. If the device detects
an error during the self-test, an error message is displayed.
3.1.3 Switching on and off
3.1.4 Internal Safety Discharge
A safety discharge ensures that the stored defibrillation energy is discharged internally. It is carried out if:
• the battery voltage is insufficient
• the device is defective
• the device is turned off
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight, or extremely high or low temperatures.
The ambient temperature should be in the range of 0...40 °C. Lower or higher ambient temperatures will have a negative impact on the battery's life.
V The duration of the self-test and the display check is max. 30 seconds. Immedi-
ately switch the device off afterwards! Battery discharge!
V Note the test results and the duration of the operation in the Inspection Report
on page 36.
V If you only carry out the self-tests, the battery will last for approx. 30 switch-ons.
V SCHILLER recommends always to keep a spare battery on hand.
• When the device is switched off for less than 5 min. (e.g. for battery replacement
or by mistake), the data remains stored and the operation is continued after the
self-test as if the device had not been switched off.
Switching on
« Switch the device on by pressing the green button (1). It can at any time be
switched off using the same button.
Switching off
« To switch off the device, keep the green button (1) pressed for at least 3 seconds.
A safety discharge ensures that the stored defibrillation energy is discharged internally.
The device is switched off automatically 5 minutes after an electrode error is indicated.

4 Defibrillating
4.1 General Application Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines to ensure successful and safe defibrillation. Otherwise the lives of the patient, the user and bystanders are in danger.
4.2 Additional Safety Notes
In addition to the guidelines set forth in section 4.1, the following rules must be observed when using an AED, as failure to do so may compromise the success of the
defibrillation or endanger the patient's life.
V The patient must:
– not come into contact with other persons during defibrillation.
– not come into contact with metal parts, e.g. bed or litter, or be positioned on wet
ground (rain, accident in swimming pool), to prevent unwanted pathways for the
defibrillation current, which may endanger the assistants.
V Do not allow the defibrillation electrodes to come into contact with other elec-
trodes or metal parts which are in contact with the patient.
V The patient's chest must be dry, as moisture causes unwanted pathways for the
defibrillation current. For safety, wipe off flammable skin cleansing agents.
V Owing to the high currents, there is a risk of skin burns at the site of the elec-
trodes. This is why the electrodes must not be placed on or above:
– the sternum, clavicle or mamillas
V Immediately prior to the shock, the heart massage (CPR) and artificial respira-
tion must be stopped and bystanders must be warned.
V Defibrillating a patient with an implanted pacemaker is likely to impair the pace-
maker function or cause damage to the pacemaker. For this reason, do not apply
the defibrillation electrodes in the vicinity of the pacemaker, have an external
pacemaker at hand, and check the implanted pacemaker for proper functioning
as soon as possible after the shock.
V To ensure correct analysis of the heart rhythm, the patient must lie as still as pos-
sible and must not be touched, as this can lead to incorrect analysis results due
to artefacts.
V The user must apply the ABCD procedure (BLS algorithm) to determine if the
AED may be used.
V If, in the course of treatment, a patient spontaneously regains consciousness, a
defibrillation shock that may have been advised just before must not be delivered.
V If the ECG signal changes such that the shock is not recommended, the shock
delivery is automatically blocked in the AED mode.

4.3 Applying the Pads
4.3.1 Adult and Paediatric Electrodes
Large electrodes The large electrodes are to be used for adults and children from 25 kg body weight.
Small electrodes The small electrodes are intended for children with a body weight under 25 kg.
4.3.2 Applying the Electrodes
V Use the defibrillation electrode pads only up to the indicated expiration date.
Please note that the indicated expiration date only applies if the vacuum pack is
intact.
V The pads are pre-gelled, so there is no need to use extra contact agent.
V Do not reuse the pads.
V Good contact between the skin and the adhesive electrodes must be ensured.
Suntan oil, sand or salt reduce the adhesive quality.
V The applied pads must have good contact with the patient's skin, and air bubbles
under the pads must be avoided. To do so, stick on one end of the pad, then
smooth it out to the other end.
1. Clean and dry the application points for the electrodes (see Fig. 4.1). Only clean
the skin by vigorously rubbing it with a dry cloth.
2. Apply one electrode above the right nipple. Do not apply it on the clavicle (uneven).
3. Apply the other electrode slantwise below the left breast as illustrated in Fig. 4.1.
4. Make sure that the connections are positioned on the outside so they do not
hinder heart massage (CPR).

4.5 Defibrillation in Manual Mode
The FRED easyport version including the manual option is clearly labelled with a red
foil. If the user does not activate the manual mode during switch on, the unit will run
in the semi-automatic mode. The defibrillation will then be carried out as described
in section 4.4.
Switching over to Manual/Semi-Automatic Mode
V Danger to the patient! The device must only be switched over to the manual
mode by the physician.
V It is very important that the guidelines and safety notes in sections 4.1 and 4.2
be observed.
V The manual operational mode must never be used by non-medical staff if the lo-
cal law exclusively allows semi-automatic defibrillators for this user group.
However, there are countries where rescue teams and medical supervision staff
request the switch-over option from the semi-automatic to the manual mode on
the push of a button. In this case, it is necessary to agree an individual procedure
with the rescue staff. This procedure must follow the AHA or ERC protocols or
the local legal requirements. Further more, the rescue organisation must ensure
that
– the specified algorithms are kept
– the staff is trained in the procedure
• The device cannot be switched over to the manual mode during the defibrillation
process (analysis, charging, shock release).
• To operate the FRED easyport in semi-automatic mode again, it must be shut off
and remain off for at least 5 minutes.
1. Switch the device on by pressing the green button (1).
2. Simultaneously press the blue (2) and the orange (3) buttons.
The message "CONFIRM MANUAL MODE" is displayed.
3. Within 5 seconds, again press the blue (2) and the orange buttons (3).
