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
and 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, 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.
