ECG Display for Ongoing Observation
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the M3860A FR2+ with
ECG display enabled can also be used with the M3873A/M3874A FR2+
ECG assessment module. The FR2+ used with the FR2+ ECG assessment
module provides 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. The module is
designed for connection to ECG electrodes per AAMI (M3873A) or IEC
(M3874A) color convention.
There are no known contraindications to use of the FR2+ ECG assessment
module.
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 FR2+ displays and evaluates the patient's ECG (Lead
II). Follow all prompts from the FR2+. If a data card is used when the module
is connected to the FR2+, all recorded events can be viewed using
HeartStart Event Review data management software

Check the patient if:

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.
The M3873A/M3874A FR2+ ECG assessment module contains no latex
rubber. It is reusable (see the expiration date on the module) and can be
cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with any of the agents recommended for
