6 Setup and Advanced Mode Features
Setup Overview
The “setup” of the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is made up of several
programmable aspects, or parameters, of FR2+ operation. Some setup
parameters govern specific features that are not related to the patient care
protocol, some are used to define the automatic patient care protocol used
by the FR2+, and some provide options for manual override of the protocol
during use.
The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup designed to meet the needs of
most users. If desired, your Medical Director can revise the setup. Even if no
changes are made, however, it is a good idea to understand the setup of your
FR2+ and how the different parameter settings affect the way the device
works.
Non-protocol parameters
The parameters listed in the following table enable features of FR2+
operation that are not related to the patient treatment protocol. The table
describes each of these non-protocol parameters, lists the settings available
for it, and identifies the default setting.
