4 Maintaining, Testing, and
Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+
Overview
This chapter provides information on HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator
maintenance, detailed descriptions of the selftests, and a guide to
troubleshooting.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the FR2+ is very simple, but it is a very important factor in its
dependability. 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, a detailed 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 this User's
Guide 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 an authorized service center for repair.
The following table presents a schedule of suggested maintenance 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.
