Philips Medical Systems
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
HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator will not automatically deliver a shock.
There are four ways you can tell that the 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 FR2+ goes back to analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm to
see if the shock was successful. The 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. The device will
resume analyzing after 30 seconds or when the Resume Analyzing key is
pressed.
Pause for CPR. After the programmed number of shocks in a shock series
are delivered, the 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
M3860A FR2+ also displays the ECG, if enabled, during this period.
* The FR2+ displays elapsed time to a maximum of 99:59 minutes. If the elapsed time
of use extends beyond this figure, the minutes are represented by “??” but the
seconds are displayed. However, total elapsed time will be recorded on an installed
data card for later review with HeartStart Event Review data management software.
