Philips Medical Systems
cleaning the FR2+ Defibrillator. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining, Testing, and
Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+.”)
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. Do not use
dried-out defibrillator pads.
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 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+.
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.
