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%.
Defibrillation cannot assure survival. In some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not survivable despite any available care.

Device description
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator ("FR2+") is a compact, lightweight, portable, and battery powered automated external defibrillator designed for use by a trained responder to treat ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
The FR2+ has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you can tell at a glance if it has passed its last selftest. 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 FR2+ is available in two models, the M3860A and the M3861A. They share a set of basic features, detailed in Chapter 6. The principle differences between the two models are identified below:
Model M3860A Model M3861A
Configurable ECG display on screen Text prompt display on screen, no ECG display
Configurable manual charge in advanced mode (See Chapter 6)
No manual charge in advanced mode (See Chapter 6)
NOTE: The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup that can be modified. (See Chapter 6, "Configuration, Setup, and Advanced Mode Features," for a description of setup defaults and options.)
Indications for use
The HeartStart FR2+ is intended to be used with disposable defibrillator pads applied to victims of sudden cardiac arrest exhibiting the following symptoms:
- Unresponsiveness
• Absence of normal breathing
If in doubt, apply the pads.
To use the FR2+ on children under 8 years or 55 pounds (25 kg), apply FR2 Infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, if available. Otherwise, apply the standard pads.
WARNING: Performance of the SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings has not been established in patients under 8 years or 55 lb. (25 kg). See Appendix E for more information.
The FR2+ is intended for use by responders who have been trained in its operation. The user should be qualified by training in Basic Life Support (BLS), in Advanced Life Support (ALS), or another physician-authorized emergency medical response program.
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the FR2+ M3860A can also be used with the FR2+ ECG assessment module to provide non-diagnostic display and evaluation of the heart rhythm of a responsive or breathing patient, regardless of age, for attended patient monitoring. While connected to the FR2+ ECG assessment module, the FR2+ M3860A disables its shock capability.
Principles of operation
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is designed to provide external defibrillation therapy to someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of SCA. The only effective treatment for VF is defibrillation. The FR2+ treats VF by sending a shock across the heart, so it can start beating regularly again.
The FR2+ is extremely easy to use. When connected to defibrillator pads that are properly applied to the patient's bare chest, the FR2+:
I. 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.

The data card will automatically record incident data the next time the HeartStart FR2+ is turned on.
Installing the battery and setting the clock
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is shipped with an M3863A standard, long-life battery. The battery is enclosed in a gray plastic case with a yellow latch at one end, designed to hold the battery in place when it is correctly installed. (The optional M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery case is blue, and it also has a yellow latch. Except where otherwise noted, the following information applies to both battery types.) To install the battery:
- Hold the battery by the latch end and slide it into the battery compartment at the top of the HeartStart FR2+.
- Slide the battery all the way into the opening, until the latch clicks into place.
CAUTION: Follow all instructions supplied with the battery. Install the battery before the install-by date shown on the battery.
When the battery is installed, the FR2+ automatically turns on. The Status Indicator displays a flashing black hourglass. The Shock button light and the indicator light for the defibrillator pads connector socket turn on briefly. The display screen brings up the main menu.

It is recommended that you set the FR2+'s internal clock to the correct date and local time at this point.
- Within 10 seconds of installing the battery, press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar on the displayed main menu to NEXT.
- Press the upper Option button to select NEXT to bring up the second menu screen.
- Press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to CLOCK.
- Press the upper Option button to bring up the CLOCK menu.
- To receive clock settings from another FR2+, see directions provided in Chapter 6. To manually set the time and date, follow the remaining steps.

- Press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to the date or time field to be changed.
- Using the upper Option button, scroll through the available settings to the desired value.
- Use the lower Option button to move to any other date or time field to be changed, and repeat step 6.
- When all selections have been made, use the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to RETURN, then press the upper Option button to return to the second menu.
- After ten seconds, the HeartStart FR2+ automatically starts the battery insertion selftest.*
If you choose not to set the clock at this point, the HeartStart FR2+ automatically starts the battery insertion selftest within ten seconds of battery insertion. You can remove and reinsert the battery at any time to review or adjust the clock settings.
Running the Battery Insertion Test
The battery insertion selftest has two parts, an automatic part, during which the screen displays a bar that fills in as the test continues, followed by an interactive part. Follow the defibrillator's prompts during the interactive part of the test. When the FR2+ has passed the battery insertion selftest, it turns off and goes to standby mode to be ready for use. Standby mode is indicated by the flashing black hourglass status indicator.
NOTE: If the battery is removed from the FR2+ for more than two hours, the clock settings will be lost and must be reset.
Placing and securing the HeartStart FR2+
Place the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator in an accessible area with the Status Indicator easily visible. The defibrillator can be secured in a carrying case suitable for use with a wallmount bracket or defibrillator cabinet. Useful accessories for
storage with the HeartStart FR2+ include a spare battery, spare pads, spare data card (if used), and a Fast Response Kit containing a pocket mask, a disposable razor, 2 pairs of gloves, a pair of paramedics scissors, and an absorbent wipe. See Appendix A for a list of accessories.
NOTE: Be careful not to overpack the carrying case, to avoid placing inadvertent pressure on the control buttons. Do not store the FR2+ with the defibrillator 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 FR2+ performs detailed daily, weekly, and monthly selftests to check its readiness for use. These periodic selftests are described in Chapter 4.
While the FR2+ is in the standby mode, the Status Indicator shows the flashing black hourglass unless the periodic selftest detects 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 chirp to alert you. Chapter 4 contains instructions for troubleshooting.
3Using the HeartStart FR2+
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator in an emergency. Some general things to remember are:
- Try to relax and stay calm. The HeartStart FR2+ automatically provides voice and text prompts to guide you through each step of its use.
- The defibrillator pads must have good contact with the patient's skin. The pads have a layer of sticky, conductive gel beneath the protective backing.
- It may be necessary to dry the patient's skin or to clip or shave excessive chest hair to provide good contact between the defibrillator pads and the patient's skin.
Be sure to read the Warnings and Cautions on the last page of this chapter.
Detailed directions for use based on default configuration are provided on the following pages.
NOTE: These directions apply to both the model M3860A and the model M3861A FR2+, except where otherwise noted.
Treating infants and children
WARNING: Most cardiac arrests in children are not caused by heart problems. When responding to cardiac arrest in an infant or child:
- Provide infant/child CPR while a bystander calls EMS and brings the FR2+.
- If no bystander is available, provide 1-2 minutes of CPR before calling EMS and retrieving the FR2+.
- If you witnessed the child's collapse, call EMS immediately and then get the FR2+.
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.
Step I: Preparation
Press the On/Off button to turn on the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator. Follow the instructions provided by the FR2+ voice and text prompts.

- Remove clothing from the patient's upper body. If needed, wipe moisture from the patient's skin and clip or shave excessive ch
- If the patient appears to be under eight years of age or 55 lb. (25 Kg), use M3870A FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, if available. If the infant/child pads are not available, or if the child appears older/larger, use adult defibrillator pads. DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT TO DETERMINE THE CHILD'S EXACT AGE/WEIGHT.
- Open the defibrillator pads package. Pull off the protective backing from the defibrillator pads.
- Place the sticky side of each pad on the patient's bare skin, exactly as shown on the drawing on each pad.

Follow the instructions provided by the FR2+ Defibrillator's voice and text prompts.
As soon as the FR2+ detects that the defibrillator pads are connected properly, it automatically begins analyzing the patient's heart rhythm. Do not touch the patient during rhythm analysis.
If no shock is advised, the HeartStart FR2+ provides voice and text prompts to tell you so and provides a CPR interval with a prompt to perform CPR, if

natural_image
Illustration of a medical device with a digital display and attached cable (no visible text or symbols)needed. The duration of the CPR interval is determined by CPR Timer setting.
Following the CPR interval, the FR2+ reanalyzes the patient's heart rhythm. If no shock is again advised, the device goes into a patient care interval, during which you can perform CPR if needed or otherwise tend to the patient. The duration of the patient care interval is determined by the NSA Action setting.
NOTE:CPR may interfere with background heart rhythm monitoring by the FR2+ in monitoring mode. During CPR, periodically pause for 15 seconds to reassess the patient and allow the FR2+ to analyze the patient's heart rhythm without possible interference from CPR artifact.
If a shock is advised, the HeartStart FR2+ charges to prepare for shock delivery. It gives the voice and text prompts to tell you that a shock is advised.

natural_image
Line drawing of a person performing CPR on another person lying on the ground (no text or symbols)Step 3: Shock delivery
First, make sure that no one is touching the patient or the pads. While the FR2+ is charging, it continues to analyze the patient's heart rhythm. If the rhythm changes and a shock is no longer appropriate, the FR2+ disarms. Voice and text prompts advise you what action to take.
There are four ways you can tell that the defibrillator 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 text prompt telling you to press the orange (Shock) button.
Press the Shock button to deliver the shock.
IMPORTANT: You must press the button for a shock to be delivered. The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator will not automatically deliver a shock. This safety feature allows you to verify that the patient is clear before a shock is delivered.

NOTE: If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds of being prompted, the HeartStart FR2+ will disarm itself and provide a pause. It will resume analyzing heart rhythm after 30 seconds or when the Resume Analyzing key is pressed.
After you press the Shock button, a voice prompt tells you the shock was delivered. Then the FR2+ pauses to allow you to perform CPR. The duration of this CPR interval is determined by the CPR Timer setting.
CPR Interval
After telling you that it has paused, the FR2+ gives no more voice prompts during the CPR interval, so that you can provide uninterrupted patient care. During the CPR interval, the FR2+ screen shows a bar that fills in as the CPR interval is used up. The HeartStart FR2+ M3860A also displays the ECG, if enabled, during this period.
NOTE: It is important to perform CPR for the entire duration of the CPR interval, until you hear the voice prompt telling you to stop CPR.
ECG display for ongoing observation
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the HeartStart FR2+ M3860A with ECG display enabled can also be used with the M3873A/M3874A FR2+ ECG assessment module to provide a non-diagnostic ECG display of the patient's heart rhythm for attended patient monitoring. The system is intended for use on a conscious or breathing patient, regardless of age. While connected to the FR2+ ECG assessment module, the FR2+'s shock capability is disabled, but the FR2+ continues to evaluate the patient's ECG. There are no known contraindications to use of the FR2+ ECG assessment module.
The module is designed for connection to ECG electrodes per AAMI (M3873A) or IEC (M3874A) color convention. The module's colored leadwires are connected to ECG electrodes, which are then placed on the patient's bare chest, and the module's device connector is inserted in the FR2+'s connector socket.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the FR2+ Defibrillator off prior to connecting the ECG assessment module.
Once connected, the HeartStart FR2+ displays and evaluates the patient's ECG (Lead II). Follow all prompts from the defibrillator. If a data card is used when the ECG assessment module is connected, all recorded events can be viewed using one of the Event Review data management software products.
Check the patient if:
• indicated by the observed ECG display,
- the patient becomes unresponsive or stops breathing, or
- the FR2+ prompts IF NEEDED, ATTACH DEFIBRILLATION PADS.
If appropriate, unplug the ECG assessment module from the FR2+, attach the defibrillator pads to the patient, and connect the defibrillator pads to the FR2+. Verify that the defibrillator pads are at least one (1) inch (2.5 cm) away from the ECG electrodes.
WARNING: During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillator pads can cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillator pads completely adhere to the skin.
WARNING: Do not let the defibrillator 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: Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm analysis can cause an incorrect or delayed diagnosis. If the FR2+ gives a SHOCK ADVISED prompt, keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds so the HeartStart FR2+ can reconfirm the rhythm analysis before a shock is delivered.
WARNING:CPR rates significantly above 100 compressions per minute can cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the FR2+. Under certain circumstances, this may result in a prompt to stop all movement so that the device can confirm rhythm analysis.
WARNING: Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury. Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Do not allow the defibrillator pads to touch any metal surfaces. Disconnect the pads connector from the FR2+ before using any other defibrillator.
CAUTION: Aggressive handling of the pads in storage or prior to use can damage the pads. Discard the defibrillator pads if they become damaged.
CAUTION: Do not place the pads directly over an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. A noticeable lump with a surgical scar should indicate its position.
4Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
Maintenance of the FR2+ is very simple, but it is a very important factor in its dependability. When in standby mode (with the battery installed), the 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, each time the FR2+ is first turned on, it executes a selftest. Further, a detailed battery insertion selftest is run whenever a battery is installed in the FR2+.
The FR2+ requires no calibration or verification of energy delivery. The FR2+ has no user-serviceable parts.
CAUTION: Improper maintenance may damage the FR2+ or cause it to function improperly. Maintain the FR2+ only as described in these Instructions for Use or as designated by your program's Medical Director.
CAUTION: Electrical shock hazard. Dangerous high voltages and currents are present. Do not open the FR2+, remove its covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the FR2+. The FR2+ should be returned to Philips for repair.
Suggested maintenance schedule
The following table presents a sample maintenance schedule for the FR2+. Different frequency intervals may be appropriate, depending upon the environment in which the FR2+ is used. The required maintenance frequency is at the discretion of your program's Medical Director.
daily monthly maintenance task/response
√ Check the Status Indicator.
If you see the flashing black hourglass: The FR2+ is ready to use. No action required.
If you see anything other than a flashing black hourglass, remove and reinstall the battery to run the selftest.
- If the selftest passes and the Status Indicator shows the flashing black hourglass, the FR2+ is ready to use.
- If the selftest fails, install a new battery and run the selftest. If the selftest passes, the FR2+ is ready to use. If the selftest fails, contact Philips Medical Systems.
- If the selftest does not run, check to be sure that there is no pads connector installed in the FR2+.
√ Check supplies, accessories, and spares for damage and expiration dating.
Do not use damaged or expired accessories. Replace them immediately.
If a LOW BATTERY or REPLACE BATTERY message is displayed: Replace the battery and run the selftest.
- Do not attempt to charge the M3863A FR2 standard battery. It is not rechargeable.

Testing
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator has several ways of testing itself and alerting you if it finds a problem. In addition to the selftest performed each time it is turned on and each time a battery is installed, the FR2+ also automatically performs periodic selftests daily.
NOTE: The FR2+ selftests are designed to check that the 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 Philips for technical support.
Battery insertion selftest
Before running the battery insertion selftest, be sure that neither the defibrillator pads nor the FR2+ ECG assessment module are connected to the device. When you insert the battery, the main 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: The menu screen will not appear when a battery is inserted if:
- the defibrillator pads are attached to a patient, indicating that the FR2+ is in use,
- the FR2+ ECG assessment module is connected to the FR2+, or
• the battery is completely depleted.
If less than five minutes have passed since the FR2+ was last used, the menu screen will be displayed, but after 10 seconds the FR2+ will go to standby mode if you make no selection.

To run the battery insertion selftest, remove and reinstall the battery. The screen tells you whether or not a data card is installed. If it is, a screen message displays how much recording time is left until the data card is full.
* 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.
- 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.
* To move around the menus displayed, use the Option buttons as follows:

NOTE: The data card is typically capable of storing a number of incidents. However, it is recommended that it be cleared or replaced after every use. In the unlikely event that the card fills up during an incident, no further data can be recorded, so it is important for you to monitor the CARD TIME LEFT information on this screen.
Text prompts tell you if the battery power is low. If so, replace the battery. If a previous selftest has failed, the screen displays a message that the FR2+ must pass a selftest before being used.
It is a best practice to always have a spare battery available. However, if you do not have a spare battery when a screen display prompts you to replace the battery or the Status Indicator shows a flashing red X, you can continue to use the FR2+ until the battery is completely depleted. This may be necessary in an emergency.

NOTE: The M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery should not be used as a spare or backup battery.
NOTE: If you connect defibrillator pads (that are applied to the patient) or the FR2+ ECG assessment module to the FR2+ during a battery insertion selftest, the selftest will stop and the FR2+ will go to its standby mode to be 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 FR2+ beeps. If a data card was inserted in the FR2+ prior to installing the battery, the results of the selftest are automatically recorded on the data card.
If the automatic part of the selftest detects a problem:
- The screen displays a message that the selftest has failed. After a short time, an error code is displayed. Write down the error code and serial number.
- The Status Indicator shows a flashing or solid red X .
Replace the battery with a new battery and repeat the test. If the second selftest fails, contact Philips for technical support.

If the automatic part of the selftest passes:
- The screen displays a message that the selftest passed, then begins the interactive part of the test.
The interactive part of the selftest requires you to respond to prompts in order to make sure the display, buttons, lights, and speaker on the FR2+ are working properly.
Text prompts guide you through a series of steps in the interactive part of the selftest. Some ask you to observe that a feature of the FR2+ works properly.
Others ask you to take certain actions — for example, to press a button. The screen then displays a message showing that the button's operation has been verified. If you do not press the button, or if you do but the button is not working, the screen displays a message that the button's function is not verified.

If something does not work correctly — for example, if lights do not come on or you do not hear beeps when expected — make a note of the problem and contact Philips for technical support.
NOTE: Do not use the FR2+ if any parts of the interactive selftest indicate a problem. Be sure to note and report any problems you find.
When the interactive part of the battery insertion selftest is complete, the FR2+ turns off and goes to standby mode to be ready for use.
If it detects a problem during any selftest, the FR2+ beeps and displays a flashing red X or a solid red X on the Status Indicator.

Troubleshooting Guide
Status indicator summary
| status indicator meaning | |
| Flashing black hourglass | The FR2+ passed the battery insertion selftest or the last periodic selftest and is therefore ready for use. |
| Flashing red X accompanied by a chirping sound. | A selftest error has occurred or the battery power is low. |
| Solid red X | The battery is completely depleted or a selftest failure occurred. |
Recommended action during an emergency
If the status indicator displays the flashing black hourglass, follow all voice and text prompts.
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is designed to deliver therapy even if the status indicator displays a flashing red X, although the device may not perform to all of its specifications. Voice and text prompts should be followed whenever they are given. If for any reason you cannot hear voice prompts during use of the defibrillator, periodically check the device screen for text prompts.
NOTE: After completing emergency use of the FR2+, if you are unable to clear the problem as described in this Troubleshooting section, and the Status Indicator does not show the flashing black hourglass, contact Philips for technical support.
In the unlikely event that the device becomes unresponsive during use:
- cycle power (press the On/Off button once, wait one second, then press it again), or
- remove and reinstall the battery (use a new M3863A FR2 standard battery, if available, or a charged M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery).
If neither of these actions clears the problem, do not use the FR2+. Attend to the patient, providing CPR if needed, until emergency medical personnel arrive.
NOTE: Perform CPR (if needed) any time there is a delay before or an interruption in use of the FR2+.

6Configuration, Setup, and Advanced Mode Features
Configuration
The FR2+ comes with a factory default configuration designed to meet the needs of most users. If desired, your Medical Director can revise the setup. 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.
NOTE: The configuration features discussed in this manual are for FR2 software version 1.7. Certain functions of this software are new or differ from previous software versions. Contact Philips for information on how to upgrade your FR2 or FR2+ to the latest software version.
In addition, the configuration settings information provided in Edition 5 or earlier of the Training & Administration Pack Instructions for Use is superseded by the information in this chapter. Other directions for use of the Training & Administration Pack provided in its Instructions for Use remain unchanged.
Non-protocol parameters
The following table presents parameters that do not affect the treatment protocol.
parameter settings default description
| speaker volume 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8 | 8 Sets volume of the FR2+'s speaker. 1 is lowest; 8 highest. The speaker is used for voice prompts and the armed-for-shock tone. | ||
| record voice yes, no no Enables or disables the audio recording during incident. Voice recording requires use of a data card. | |||
| ECG display | on, off | on | Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) ECG display on the screen of the M3860A only. FR2+ rhythm analysis does not require ECG display to be on. (ECG display cannot be changed from the default, OFF, for M3861A.) |
| ECG Out | on, off | off | Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) ECG data transmission from the infrared communications port of the FR2+. ECG data can be sent even if ECG display is disabled or (M3861A) unavailable.NOTE: If ECG out is set to ON, autosend PST is automatically set to OFF. |
| parameter settings default description | ||
| autosend PST | N/A | on No longer configurable. Transmission of the results of the FR2+'s periodic selftests (PST) from its infrared communications port is always on. |
| Automatic protocol parametersThe HeartStart FR2+ is designed to follow an automatic patient care protocol defined by the parameters in the following table. 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. | ||
| parameter settings default description | ||
| shock series 1, | 2, 3, 4 | Sets the number of shocks that must be delivered to activate an automatic CPR interval.A new Shock Series begins when a shock is delivered:after the FR2+ is turned onafter the automatic CPR interval, orafter the Pause Key (if enabled) has been pressed, or(with shock series set to a non-default value) if the time since the previous shock exceeds the protocol timeout setting. | |
| protocol timeout(minutes) | 0.5, 1.0,1.5, 2.0,2.5, 3.0,3.5,∞(infinite) | 1.0 Sets the time interval used to determine if a delivered shock should be counted as part of the current shock series. This parameter is relevant only when the shock series is set to a non-default value. |
| CPR timer(minutes) | 0.5, 1.0,1.5, 2.0,2.5, 3.0 | 2.0 Sets the length of the CPR Interval as well as CPR First and manually initiated pauses.After the CPR Interval, the FR2+ returns to automatic rhythm analysis.NOTE: The actual CPR Interval may be up to 10 seconds longer than the selected setting, to allow time for initial voice prompting. |
| NSA action(No ShockAdvised action)(minutes) | monitor,0.5, 1.0,1.5, 2.0,2.5, 3.0 | 2.0 Sets how the FR2+ behaves during ongoing care of patients not in a shockable rhythm.MONITOR — provides continuous background analysis of the non-shockable rhythm. However, if the ECG changes, the FR2+ automatically leaves monitoring mode and begins rhythm analysis to determine if a shock is needed. When the ECG display is enabled or the user puts the device into the advanced mode, the patient's heart rate is displayed during background monitoring.NOTE: CPR may interfere with background heart rhythm monitoring by the FR2+ in monitoring mode. during CPR, periodically pause for 15 seconds to reassess the patient and allow the FR2+ to analyze the patient's heart rhythm without possible interference from CPR artifact.TIME SETTING — provides patient care pause intervals of the selected duration, alternating with rhythm analysis.NOTE: If a shock series is set to a non-default value and an NSA decision occurs within a partially complete shock series, the CPR timer setting overrides the NSA Action. |
| CPR First no, auto1, auto2, user | no | Enables a Medical Director to configure the FR2+ to provide the opportunity for an interval of uninterrupted CPR prior to defibrillation.This parameter has been developed in response to research findings that some SCA patients — especially those presenting in fine VF (typical of long down time) — are not likely to experience a return to spontaneous circulation following an immediate shock. The SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings automate the decision of whether to provide CPR first or deliver a shock first, based on characteristics of the presenting arrhythmia.NOTE: Refer to Appendix E for detailed guidance on choosing a setting.NO (default) — CPR First option is disabled; FR2+ will not provide an initial CPR interval.SMART CPR AUTO1 — Provides immediate defibrillation for more than 90% of shockable patients who are likely to achieve ROSC (less than 10% receive CPR first). Of those shockable patients who are unlikely to achieve ROSC, more than 50% will receive CPR first.SMART CPR AUTO2 — Provides immediate defibrillation for more than 80% of shockable patients who are likely to achieve ROSC (less than 20% receive CPR first). Of those shockable patients who are unlikely to achieve ROSC, more than 60% will receive CPR first.USER (User-initiated CPR Interval) — This setting provides a protocol under which responders decide whether to perform CPR first. If so, the responder presses the CPR Pause key to initiate a CPR interval.The FR2+ will continue with rhythm analysis unless the CPR Pause key is pressed.The duration of the CPR First interval for AUTO1 and AUTO2 and USER is determined by the CPR Timer parameter. |
| CPR prompt long, short short Sets the level of detail provided in the CPR reminder voice promptsprovided at the start of a CPR interval or CPR First interval (User setting).LONG — prompts the user to assess the patient before beginning CPR.SHORT — simply directs user to begin CPR. | ||
| monitor prompt interval (minutes) | 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0,∞(infinite) | 1.0 Sets the interval for patient care prompts provided during FR2+ monitoring of the patient's ECG following an NSA decision. Selection of∞(infinite) means that no repeat prompting will be provided during ECG monitoring. This parameter only applies when the NSA action is set to monitor. |
Manual override parameters
The parameters in the following table are used to enable different kinds of manual override.
parameter settings default description
| advanced off, | analyze,charge | off Enables or disables advanced mode entry for ALS or tiered-response systems.OFF — disables advanced mode features.ANALYZE — enables user-initiated rhythm analysis and disarm, and (M3860A only) automatically turns on ECG display when advanced mode is entered.CHARGE (M3860A only) — in addition to enabling the analyze feature, enables user-initiated charging and disarming. |
| pause key on, | off off Enables (ON) or | disables (OFF) a user-initiated CPR interval in the automatic protocol. The interval length is defined by theCPR timer setting. The pause key is disabled when an advanced mode feature (analyze or charge) is enabled and accessed, and during Monitoring. If either theCPR timeror theNSA actionsetting is programmed to 2.5 minutes or longer, the Resume Key setting is automatically enabled (on). The Resume Key is always automatically enabled for anyCPR Firstinterval.OFF — disables availability of user-initiated pause.ON — enables user-initiated pause by pressing the lower Option button indicated by an arrow on the FR2+display, at any time except when the device is monitoring or is already paused.If enabled, the pause is initiated by pressing the lower Option button indicated by an arrow on the FR2+display, as shown in the sample screen. |

Using setup features
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.
The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup designed to meet the needs of most users. The setup feature of the FR2+ lets you review the current setup of your HeartStart FR2+ or install a revised setup if appropriate. To go to the SETUP menu:
I. Remove and reinstall the battery to bring up the first menu on the screen.

NOTE: This screen will not be displayed if the FR2+ is connected to defibrillator 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 defibrillator 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.
- Within 10 seconds of installing the battery, press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to NEXT.
- Press the upper Option button to select NEXT.
- Press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to SETUP.
- Press the upper Option button to bring up the SETUP menu.
The SETUP menu allows you to receive setup directly from another HeartStart FR2+, read setup from a data card, or review current setup.
Reviewing current setup
A good way to understand the setup of your FR2+ is to review the setup it currently uses.
I. Select REVIEW SETUP from the SETUP menu. The first of a series of REVIEW SETUP screens is displayed.
2. After reviewing the screen contents, press the upper Option button to select NEXT and move to the next screen.
3. The last screen allows you to select RETURN and go back to the SETUP menu.

Revising setup
There are several ways to change the setup of your HeartStart FR2+. All of them require use of products or accessories available separately from Philips Medical Systems.
- Use the M3864A Training & Administration Pack to enable software within the FR2+ to modify its setup. (Instructions are provided with the Pack.)
- Read a revised setup from a data card containing the setup. (Instructions are provided later in this chapter.)
- Use the infrared communications feature of the FR2+ to receive the revised setup from another FR2+. (Instructions are provided later in this chapter.)
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.
See the tables describing the various setup parameters at the beginning of this chapter and Appendix D for definitions of setup items.
Receiving setup
This method uses the infrared communications feature of the HeartStart FR2+ to receive setup directly from one HeartStart FR2+ (which must have the Training & Administration Pack installed in it) to another. To receive setup from another FR2+, follow these steps:
I. Locate the infrared communications port on each HeartStart FR2+ and line them up with one another, so that the infrared "eye" in each one has an uninterrupted view of the "eye" in the other. (See the diagram on the inside front cover.) The two devices should be no more than 1 meter apart.
2. Make sure the "sending" FR2+ has the Training & Administration Pack installed and is ready to send. (See the M3864A Training & Administration Pack Instructions for Use for directions.)
3. Select RECEIVE SETUP from the setup menu:
4. A new screen comes up. Until the two HeartStart FR2+ devices are properly positioned, the screen displays READY TO RECEIVE and prompts you to check the sending FR2+.

- Setup data are automatically transferred as soon as the infrared ports are correctly aligned.
- If you select EXIT before the transfer is complete, the revised setup will not be received. When the transfer is complete, the screen on the "receiving" FR2+ displays a SETUP COMPLETE message. Your HeartStart FR2+ immediately uses the new setup.
Reading setup
This method copies setup data from a data card to your HeartStart FR2+. To read the setup, follow these steps:
I. Insert the data card in the data card tray and install the loaded tray into the data card slot in the FR2+, then insert the battery.
2. Select READ SETUP from the setup menu.
3. A new screen comes up. If the FR2+ cannot read the data card or cannot find a valid setup on the data card, the screen displays a NO SETUP FILE error message. Otherwise, the FR2+ begins reading the setup information from the data card immediately.
4. If you select EXIT before the transfer is complete or if the data card is not fully inserted into the FR2+, the revised setup will not be copied. When the transfer is finished, the screen displays a SETUP COMPLETE message. Your FR2+ immediately uses the revised setup.

Sending and receiving clock settings
To synchronize the clock settings of your HeartStart FR2+ with the clock of another FR2+, you can use the infrared communications feature.
To transfer clock settings from one FR2+ to another:
I. Remove and reinstall the battery of both FR2+ devices to bring up the first menu screen.
2. Select NEXT to go to the second menu screen.
3. Select CLOCK from the second menu screen. The CLOCK screen then comes up.

- Clock settings are automatically transferred as soon as the infrared ports are correctly aligned.
Using advanced mode features
The HeartStart FR2+ provides an advanced mode that allows responders who are appropriately trained to override the programmed FR2+ protocol and take responsibility for certain aspects of the operating sequence used by the FR2+ to treat the patient.
As described earlier in this chapter, the factory default setup of the FR2+ must be modified to provide access to advanced mode features. This requires use of the administration function of the M3864A Training & Administration Pack.
If you are an expert user authorized by your Medical Director to modify setup, hold down both the Option buttons while installing the Training & Administration Pack in the FR2+, then select SETUP. Then select MODIFY SETUP from the SETUP menu. Select ADVANCED from the third menu of the MODIFY SETUP menu.

Using the upper Option button, scroll through the available settings for ADVANCED. The advanced mode options available are based on the FR2+ model used. For the M3860A, the user can select ANALYZE, CHARGE, or OFF. For the M3861A the user can select only ANALYZE or OFF. (Detailed directions for use are supplied with the Training & Administration Pack.)
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 HeartStart 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.
The analyze 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 HeartStart 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 and responsiveness; to apply the defibrillator pads and connect them to the HeartStart FR2+; and to follow the voice and text prompts provided by the HeartStart FR2+ in its automated (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 HeartStart FR2+. These include user-initiated analysis as well as manual charge and disarm control.
Using the manual analyze feature
The manual analyze feature is available in both the M3860A and the M3861A models, when enabled in setup.

To enter the advanced mode during use of an FR2+ that has this feature enabled, make sure pads are attached to the patient, then press both Option buttons simultaneously. This brings up a screen that includes a highlighted line at the bottom, labeled ANALYZE, with an arrowhead pointing to the lower Option button.

line
| Time | Value | |------|-------| | 0:43 | ~0.5 | | 2 | ~0.5 | | 60 | ~0.5 |In the M3861A HeartStart FR2+, the patient's ECG is not displayed; in the M3860A, the display includes the patient's ECG and heart rate.
Press the lower Option button (ANALYZE) to initiate rhythm analysis by the FR2+. If a shock is advised, the FR2+ automatically charges, and prompts you to press the Shock button.

After shock delivery, the HeartStart FR2+ returns to the advanced mode display and monitors the patient's heart rhythm. If a potentially shockable rhythm is detected, the text and voice prompts advise you to PRESS ANALYZE.
NOTE: If you do not press the lower Option button (labeled ANALYZE) to initiate rhythm analysis when prompted, the HeartStart FR2+ does not analyze and prompt if a shock is advised. It is important that you understand that entering the advanced mode entails taking responsibility for these functions.
If the rhythm analysis results in a Shock Advised decision, the FR2+ begins charging, prompts you to press the Shock button, and displays a MANUAL DISARM option at the top of the screen. If for any reason you want to cancel the shock, press the upper Option button to disarm the FR2+.
To return to non-manual, AED mode operation, turn the FR2+ off by pressing the On/Off button. Then turn the FR2+ on by pressing the On/Off button again.
Using the manual charge feature (M3860A only)
The manual charge feature is available only in the M3860A, when enabled in setup.

To enter the advanced mode during use of an FR2+ that has this feature enabled, make sure pads are attached to the patient, then press both Option buttons simultaneously. This brings up a screen that includes a highlighted line at the top, labeled MANUAL, with an arrowhead pointing to the upper Option button, and another at the bottom, labeled ANALYZE, with an arrowhead pointing to the lower Option button.


When the advanced mode is entered, display of the patient's ECG and heart rate is automatically initiated.
Pressing the lower Option button (ANALYZE) provides user-initiated rhythm analysis as described above. Pressing the upper Option button (MANUAL) brings up a new screen.
The highlighted top line is labeled MANUAL CHARGE, with an arrowhead pointing to the upper Option button.
If the ECG display shows that, in your expert clinical judgment, the patient has a shockable rhythm, press the upper Option button (MANUAL CHARGE). The HeartStart FR2+ will immediately charge for shock delivery.
As soon as charging begins, the screen message changes to CHARGING, STAND CLEAR, and the label for the arrowhead pointing to the upper Option button changes to MANUAL DISARM.
The FR2+ beeps while it is charging. When the beeping changes to a continuous tone and the Shock button light flashes, press the Shock button to deliver a shock. However, if the ECG display shows that the patient's rhythm has changed to a non-shockable rhythm, press the upper Option button to disarm the HeartStart FR2+.
After shock delivery, the HeartStart FR2+ returns to the initial advanced mode screen. To return to non-manual, AED mode operation, turn the FR2+ off by pressing the On/Off button. Then turn the FR2+ on by pressing the On/Off button again.

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
7Data Management and Review
Overview
The HeartStart FR2+ is designed to make it easy to manage incident data. Some information is automatically stored in the internal memory of the HeartStart FR2+. More detailed data can be stored on a data card if desired. The incident information stored in the HeartStart FR2+'s internal memory, or a summary of the information recorded on the data card, can then be displayed on the HeartStart FR2+ screen for review. In addition, HeartStart Event Review software can be used on a personal computer to store and review the detailed recorded information from a data card.
Recording incident data
The HeartStart FR2+ has two ways of recording information about an emergency incident so that it can be reviewed after the incident: in internal memory and on an optional data card.
Recording data in internal memory
Summary data for an incident is automatically recorded in internal memory by the FR2+ while you are using it.
Recording data on a data card
The M3854A data card can be used to store several hours of detailed incident data, including events, ECG, and, optionally, audio.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To record incident data on a data card, the data card must be installed before you turn on the FR2+.
CAUTION:The FR2+ is designed to be used only with Philips-approved accessories. The FR2+ may perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
Directions for installing a data card are provided in Chapter 2. To remove or replace a data card after use, be sure to turn off the FR2+ in order to ensure that no incident data are lost. Pull the data card tray out of the port in the FR2+ and
remove the card. Give it to the appropriate person in your organization. Either load a new data card into the tray or insert the empty data card tray into the port.
NOTE: Because it helps seal the FR2+ against moisture, the data card tray should always be reinserted into the port of the FR2+.
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, or erased and reinstalled, after each use of the 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 turn off the 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,
• additional events recorded after the device is turned back on will be treated as part of the same incident, and - the selftest will not automatically run if the battery is replaced.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the battery while incident data are being recorded to a data card. To ensure that no incident data are lost, turn the FR2+ off (return it to standby mode) before replacing the battery.
Reviewing Incident Data
Reviewing data from internal memory
Summary information from the last incident that is stored in the internal memory of the HeartStart FR2+ can be displayed on its screen for review. To review this information:
I. Remove the data card if one is installed and unplug the pads connector.
2. Remove and reinstall the battery. (Make sure you are using the gray M3863A FR2 standard battery or the blue M3848A rechargeable battery, not the yellow Training & Administration Pack.)
3. Select REVIEW INCIDENT from the menu. A new screen comes up.


- Observe and record, if desired, the summary information displayed on the screen:
• how long the incident recorded by the FR2+ lasted, and
• how many shocks were delivered during the incident.
This information remains in the FR2+'s memory and can be displayed for review until the next time the FR2+ is used. At that time, the data from the new incident will be displayed. Summary data for the most recent use is always saved in the FR2+ memory until the FR2+ is used again.
Reviewing data from a data card
If a data card is installed when the HeartStart FR2+ is turned on for use during an incident, the HeartStart FR2+ automatically records detailed information on the data card. To review this information on the HeartStart FR2+ screen:
I. Make sure the Training & Administration Pack is not installed.
2. Make sure the data card is installed. Unplug the pads connector.
3. Remove and reinstall the battery.
- Select REVIEW INCIDENT from the menu. A new screen comes up. This screen displays:
• ELAPSED TIME — how long the incident recorded by the FR2+ lasted, ^*
- SHOCKS DELIVERED — how many shocks were delivered during the incident, and
- FIRST SHOCKS AT — the times at which the first three shocks were delivered.
NOTE: If the data card does not contain event data, only the summary information from FR2+ internal memory will be displayed when REVIEW INCIDENT is selected.
- To review the events that occurred during the incident, select REVIEW EVENTS. A new screen comes up. This and following screens, accessed by

Notes
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
ECPR First Configuration
The CPR First parameter provides a tool for Medical Directors and Administrators to implement existing or emerging protocols. Currently, some emergency response protocols incorporate a CPR interval prior to applying the AED. Although this provides for initial CPR treatment, since the device is not attached to the patient it cannot collect data or provide the responder with prompts or an initial CPR interval. Note that previous versions of the FR2+ could be attached for data collection during initial CPR, via an enabled Pause key.
Research has shown that some SCA patients – particularly those presenting with low-amplitude, low-frequency VF rhythms typical of long down times – may not benefit from an initial shock, and for these patients an interval of CPR prior to defibrillation may improve outcome. ^1-3
Accordingly, some Medical Directors may wish to configure the FR2+ to be able to provide an initial CPR interval prior to defibrillation. Before making that decision, the Medical Director should consider the overall impact the selected setting would have on the SCA emergency response system, and train responders accordingly. If a system-wide change is desirable, software upgrades for existing FR2/FR2+ defibrillators are available from Philips. Other factors to be considered include:
• Emergency system response times
- Responder skill level
- Prevailing protocols and time and cost for training
• Expected changes in response protocols
Based on a consideration of these factors, the Medical Director can configure the FR2+ to any of four CPR First settings: NO, SMART CPR AUTO1, SMART CPR AUTO2, and USER. These are defined in greater detail below.
NO setting
The NO setting means the FR2+ will not provide an initial CPR interval prior to defibrillation of a shockable rhythm. Thus, once the FR2+ is attached, it will advise an immediate shock for all SCA patients presenting with a shockable rhythm — even those who may benefit from CPR first— before it provides a CPR interval. This setting represents the historical behavior of AEDs, including the ForeRunner and FR2+. It is therefore the default setting for CPR First.
SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings
It is often not possible for the responder to know whether an individual patient might benefit from CPR first or defibrillation first. When set to AUTO1 or AUTO2, the FR2+ analyzes the patient's initial rhythm and automates the decision as to whether an individual patient will receive an initial shock or CPR first. Based on a database of ECG recordings of actual resuscitation attempts, * the SMART CPR algorithm evaluates the initial ECG's amplitude and frequency characteristics — both known predictors of shock success — and calculates the likelihood of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following a defibrillation shock. If the likelihood is low, the FR2+ will provide a CPR interval prior to defibrillation. If high, the device will advise immediate defibrillation. In either case, the device adjusts its voice and text prompts appropriately.
WARNING: Performance of the SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings has not been established in patients under 8 years or 55 lb. (25 kg).
SMART CPR AUTO1. Provides immediate defibrillation for more than 90% ^ of shockable patients who are likely to achieve ROSC (less than 10% receive CPR first). Of those shockable patients who are unlikely to achieve ROSC, more than 50% will receive CPR first.
SMART CPR AUTO2. Provides immediate defibrillation for more than 80% ^ of shockable patients who are likely to achieve ROSC (less than 20% receive CPR first). Of those shockable patients who are unlikely to achieve ROSC, more than 60% will receive CPR first.
* Data collected from multi-center, multi-national out-of-hospital and in-hospital adult sudden cardiac arrest rhythms. The SMART CPR algorithm was developed based on VF, polymorphic VT, and ventricular flutter rhythms.
^ Based on observed performance. ROSC was determined by several parameters, including patient assessment, ECG analysis, and/or patient impedance cardiography.
USER setting
The USER setting provides the responder with a means to manually initiate a CPR interval, based on either a patient assessment protocol or standing orders from the Medical Director. The FR2+ can thus be applied immediately to the patient, enabling the device to collect data and provide reminder text prompts that the CPR Pause key is available. The responder presses the CPR Pause key to start a CPR interval. The FR2+ will continue with rhythm analysis unless the CPR Pause key is pressed.
With the FR2+ CPR First setting set to USER, the FR2+ provides an opportunity for the responder to initiate a CPR interval for all patients — even those who may benefit from immediate defibrillation.

NOTE 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a. Generally, AEDs are sometimes susceptible to interference generated by patient and/or responder motion in environments in which a high static electric field is present (e.g., low humidity, synthetic carpets, etc.). As a safety measure, Philips AEDs incorporate a patented method to sense possible corruption of the ECG signal by such interference and to respond by directing the user to stop all motion. In these cases, it is important to minimize movement in the vicinity of the patient during rhythm analysis in order to ensure that the signal being analyzed accurately reflects the patient's underlying heart rhythm.
b. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,660 MHz to 40,700 MHz.
c. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the HeartStart FR2+ is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HeartStart FR2+ should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HeartStart.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the FR2+ can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the FR2+ as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
| rated maximum output power of transmitter (W) | separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m) | |
| 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 0.6 | 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 1.15 | |
| 0.01 0.06 0.115 | ||
| 0.1 0.19 0.36 | ||
| 1 0.6 1.15 | ||
| 10 1.9 3.64 | ||
| 100 6.0 11.5 | ||
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE I. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medial) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,660 MHz to 40,700 MHz.
NOTE 3. An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
NOTE 4. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
NOTE 5. Transmitters/antenna of this power-level are most likely mounted on an emergency vehicle chassis. The distances cited here are for open field. For an external antenna, the separation distance is most likely shorter.
Shock cycle timing
The HeartStart FR2+'s Quick Shock feature allows it to deliver a shock within 10 seconds, typical, following the prompt ending a CPR interval. From shock to shock, the FR2+ takes <20 seconds, typical, including analysis. After 15 shocks, the FR2+ takes <30 seconds from analyzing to ready-to-shock. After 200 shocks, the FR2+ takes <40 seconds from initial power-on to ready-to-shock.
