Introduction to the HeartStart FR2+  
What is the HeartStart FR2+?  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator (“FR2+”) is an automated external  
defibrillator. It is compact, lightweight, portable, and battery powered. It is  
designed for simple and reliable operation by a trained responder.  
NOTE: The HeartStart FR2+ is an enhanced version of the defibrillator  
previously sold as the Heartstream FR2. The FR2+ has all the features of the  
FR2. All accessories compatible with the FR2 are also compatible with the  
FR2+. However, the FR2+ has some new features not present in the FR2  
and can be used with certain accessories (labeled FR2+) that are not  
compatible with the FR2.  
The FR2+ has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you can tell at a  
glance if it is ready for use. The front panel of the FR2+ has an On/Off button  
at the top and a Shock button at the bottom. A display screen in the center of  
the panel provides text prompts and incident information. Voice prompts are  
provided through a speaker located at the base of the FR2+. (See the  
diagram on the inside front cover for details.)  
The FR2+ is available in two models, the M3860A and the M3861A. They  
share a set of basic features, detailed in Chapter 6. The principle differences  
between the two models are identified below:  
model M3860A  
model M3861A  
Configurable ECG display on screen  
Text prompt display on screen, no ECG  
display  
Configurable manual charge in  
advanced mode  
No manual charge in advanced mode  
NOTE: The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup that can be modified.  
(See Chapter 6, “Setup and Advanced Mode Features,” for a description of  
setup defaults and options.)

When Is the HeartStart FR2+ Used?  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is used with disposable defibrillator pads  
applied to a person who is experiencing the symptoms of sudden cardiac  
arrest (SCA): lack of responsiveness and lack of breathing. Defibrillation  
should not be performed on anyone who is responsive or is breathing.  
Infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads are available for use with the  
FR2+ on children under the age of 8 or weighing less than 55 pounds (25  
kg).  
The FR2+ is intended for use by emergency care personnel who have been  
specifically trained in the operation of the FR2+ or who are qualified by  
training in Basic Life Support (BLS), in Advanced Life Support (ALS), or in  
other physician-authorized emergency medical response.  
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the M3860A FR2+ with  
ECG display enabled can also be used with the FR2+ ECG assessment  
module to display the rhythm of a responsive or breathing patient, regardless  
of age. The FR2+ Defibrillator used with the FR2+ ECG assessment module  
provides a non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring. While  
connected to the FR2+ ECG assessment module, the FR2+ displays and  
evaluates the patient's ECG and disables its shock capability.  
How Does the HeartStart FR2+ Work?  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is designed to provide external  
defibrillation therapy to someone in cardiac arrest. Defibrillation therapy is  
the best available way to treat a variety of potentially fatal heart arrhythmias.  
The FR2+ is extremely easy to use. When connected to defibrillator pads  
that are properly applied to the patient’s bare chest, the FR2+:  
1. prompts you to take specific actions,  
2. automatically analyzes the patient's heart rhythm and advises you  
whether or not the rhythm is shockable, and  
3. arms the Shock button, if appropriate, and instructs you to press it to  
deliver a biphasic electric pulse designed to defibrillate the heart.  
Detailed instructions for use are provided in Chapter 3.

How Is the HeartStart FR2+ Supplied?  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is supplied with a standard long-life  
battery, two sets of adult defibrillator pads with integrated cable and  
connector, and a data card tray. Other accessories, including an FR2+  
rechargeable battery, FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, and  
(for M3860A only, with ECG display enabled) a three-wire FR2+ ECG  
assessment module, are available. See Appendix A for a list of accessories  
and other recommended supplies.

Preparing Your HeartStart FR2+ for  
Use  
2
Overview  
There are a few basic steps to preparing your HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator  
for use:  
Install data card (optional).  
Install a battery.  
Set the clock in the FR2+ (optional).  
Run the battery insertion selftest.  
Place the FR2+ with recommended accessories in a convenient  
location.  
The instructions presented here briefly describe the normal sequence of  
preparation. It assumes that you are using a fresh battery, that the selftest  
passes, that you are not using a data card, and that the factory default  
settings will not be changed. Exceptions to this sequence are provided  
elsewhere in this manual.  
Installing the Battery  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is shipped with a M3863A standard,  
long-life battery. The battery is enclosed in a gray plastic case. There is a  
yellow latch at one end that holds the battery in place when it is correctly  
installed in the FR2+. (The optional M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery is  
enclosed in a blue plastic case and also has a yellow latch. Except where  
otherwise noted, the following information applies to both battery types.)  
Before installing the battery, make sure the defibrillator pads are not  
connected to the FR2+. To install the battery:  
1. Hold the battery by the latch end and slide it into the battery  
compartment at the top of the FR2+.  
2. Slide the battery all the way into the opening, until the latch clicks into  
place. The latch will click into place only when the battery is inserted  
correctly.  
CAUTION: Follow all instructions supplied with the HeartStart M3863A  
standard battery. Install the battery before the install-by date shown on the  
battery.

2-2  
When the battery is installed, the FR2+ automatically turns on. The Status  
Indicator displays a flashing black hourglass. The Shock button light and the  
indicator light for the defibrillator pads connector socket turn on briefly.  
The display screen brings up the main menu. From this menu, you can start  
the FR2+ battery insertion selftest, review information from the last time the  
FR2+ was used, or go to the next screen for other options. Information about  
the optional data card and the battery status is also provided. (See Chapter  
7, Data Management and Review,” for details about reviewing an incident  
and using a data card.) For the M3863A standard battery, a GOOD BATTERY  
message should be displayed. For the M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery,  
a “fuel gauge” graphic illustrates remaining power. Throughout the remainder  
of this manual, the screen displays illustrated will be for the standard battery  
unless otherwise noted.  
NOTE: This screen will not be displayed if the FR2+ is connected to  
defibrillator pads (that are applied to the patient) when the battery is inserted,  
and you will not be able to access the menu items. In addition, the battery  
insertion selftest and periodic automatic selftests cannot run while the  
defibrillator pads are connected to the patient. Be sure to unplug the pads  
connector from the FR2+ after each use. Do not store the FR2+ with the  
pads connected.  
NOTE: To move around the menus displayed, use the Option buttons as  
follows:  
Press the LOWER Option button to move the highlight bar from one  
item to another on the menu.  
Press the UPPER Option button to select the highlighted item or to  
scroll through the settings for that item.  
If you select NEXT, the menu displayed lets you review the history of the  
FR2+, review the history of the battery being used, access setup data, set  
the clock, or return to the first menu. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining, Testing,  
and Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+,” for details about the review  
options and Chapter 6, “Setup and Advanced Mode Features,” for  
information on the setup option.)

NOTE: If you make no selection for 10 seconds, the selftest will  
automatically run. If you want to select something different from either of  
these menus, you must do so before the selftest begins, or remove and  
reinstall the battery to bring up the main menu. You can press the On/Off  
button at any time to turn off the FR2+ and return it to standby (ready for  
use) mode. To use the FR2+, press the On/Off button again.  
2
Setting the Clock  
It is recommended that the first time you prepare your HeartStart FR2+  
Defibrillator for use, you check the FR2+’s internal clock to be sure it is set to  
the correct date and local time. You can reset it if necessary.  
To see the clock settings, select NEXT from the first menu, within 10 seconds  
of installing the battery, and then select CLOCK. To do this:  
1. Press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to NEXT.  
2. Press the upper Option button to bring up the NEXT screen.  
3. Press the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to CLOCK.  
4. Press the upper Option button to bring up the CLOCK screen.  
The CLOCK screen displays the date and time currently set in the internal  
clock of the FR2+.  
NOTE: The date is displayed as day (DD), month (MM), and year (YY), as  
shown on the screen. The time is displayed using the 24-hour international  
clock.  
If no changes to the clock settings are needed, select RETURN and go back  
to the first menu. If the date and time are not correct, there are two ways to  
set them:  
Receive the clock settings from another FR2+ or from a computer using  
HeartStart Event Review® software, using the RECEIVE TIME option.  
*
This may be used to synchronize the clocks of several FR2+s. You can  
also send the clock settings from one FR2+ to another one, using the  
SEND TIME option. See Chapter 6, “Setup and Advanced Mode  
Features,” for instructions.  
Manually set the date and the time.  
*
HeartStart Event Review software was previously sold as CodeRunner software.

To manually set the clock:  
1. Use the lower Option button to move the highlight bar to the part of the  
clock setting you want to change.  
2. Press the upper Option button repeatedly to scroll through the settings  
until you reach the one you want. If you go past it, keep scrolling until it  
comes up again.  
3. Use the lower Option button to select the next part you want to change,  
and repeat the process, until all parts of the date and time have been set.  
4. When you have made all the changes, move the highlight bar to RETURN  
and press the upper Option button to go back to the main menu screen.  
NOTE: New clock settings are used by the FR2+ as soon as you set them.  
The clock time display is updated each minute this screen is displayed. The  
clock seconds, although not displayed, are set to 00 when you move the  
highlight bar out of the time settings.  
NOTE: If the battery is removed from the FR2+ for more than two hours, the  
clock settings will be lost and must be reset.  
Running the Battery Insertion Selftest  
Except in an emergency, it is recommended that you run this selftest every  
time you change the battery. Make sure the defibrillator pads are not  
connected to the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator before running the battery  
insertion selftest.  
The selftest has two parts. The first part automatically tests the FR2+  
circuitry. The second part is interactive and requires you to respond to  
prompts in order to make sure the display, buttons, lights, speaker, and  
beeper of the FR2+ are working properly. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining,  
Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+,” for details about this  
selftest.)  
To run the selftest:  
1. Make sure the defibrillator pads are not connected to the device.  
2. Insert the battery into the battery port. The first screen displayed has  
RUN SELFTEST highlighted.

3. Press the upper Option button to activate the test.  
4. OR make no selection for 10 seconds, and the selftest will start  
automatically if the FR2+ has been turned off for at least 5 minutes.  
2
NOTE: If you connect defibrillator pads (that are applied to the patient) to  
the FR2+ during a battery insertion selftest, the selftest will stop and the  
FR2+ will go to its standby mode to be ready for use.  
When the automatic part of the selftest is successfully completed, the screen  
displays a message that the test has passed, and then automatically starts  
the interactive part of the selftest. It is important to press the buttons and  
verify the indicators to ensure that the FR2+ will be ready for use.  
GOOD BATTERY  
When the entire selftest is complete, the FR2+ automatically turns off and  
returns to standby mode. In the standby mode, the Status Indicator displays  
a flashing black hourglass. This means that the FR2+ has passed its most  
recent self-test and is therefore ready for use, simply by pressing the On/Off  
button to turn it on.  
Placing and Securing the HeartStart FR2+  
Place the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator in an accessible area with the Status  
Indicator easily visible. Useful accessories for placing and securing the FR2+  
include a carrying case, which is suitable for use with a wall mount bracket or  
defibrillator cabinet. (See Appendix A for a list of accessories.)  
NOTE: Do not store the FR2+ with the defibrillator pads attached. Do not  
open the pads package until ready for use.  
With the battery installed and the FR2+ stored in appropriate environmental  
conditions, the FR2+ performs detailed periodic selftests to make sure that it  
remains ready for use. (See Appendix B for the environmental storage  
specifications.)  
While the FR2+ is in the standby mode, the Status Indicator shows the  
flashing black hourglass unless the periodic selftests detect a problem. If a  
problem is detected, the Status Indicator will show a flashing red X or a solid  
red X and the FR2+ will beep (“chirp”) to alert you to the need for  
troubleshooting. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting  
Your HeartStart FR2+,” for instructions.)

Using Your HeartStart FR2+  
Overview  
This chapter describes how to use the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator in an  
emergency incident. Some general things to remember are:  
Try to relax and stay calm. The FR2+ automatically provides appropriate  
voice and display prompts to guide you.  
The defibrillator pads must have good contact with the patient’s skin.  
The pads have a layer of sticky, conductive gel beneath the protective  
backing. To work effectively, the gel must not be dried out.  
3
It may be necessary to dry the patient’s skin or to clip or shave excessive  
chest hair to provide good contact between the defibrillator pads and  
the patient’s skin.  
The following pages provide step-by-step instructions for normal use of the  
FR2+ in an emergency. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining, Testing, and  
Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+,” for troubleshooting tips.)  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the Warnings and Cautions on the last page  
of this chapter.  
NOTE: These directions apply to both the model M3860A and the model  
M3861A FR2+, except where otherwise noted.

3-2  
Step 1: Preparation  
Press the On/Off button to turn on the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator.  
Follow the instructions provided by the FR2+ voice and screen prompts  
in the order indicated.  
F
Remove clothing from the patient's upper body. Wipe moisture from the  
patient's skin and clip or shave excessive chest hair, if necessary.  
If the patient appears to be under eight years of age or 55 lbs (25 Kg), use  
M3870A FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, if available. If the  
child appears older/larger, use adult defibrillator pads. DO NOT DELAY  
TREATMENT TO DETERMINE THE CHILDS EXACT AGE/WEIGHT.  
Open the defibrillator pads package. Check to see that the pads and  
attached cable and connector are undamaged. Pull off the protective  
backing from the defibrillator pads and check that the gel has not dried out. If  
the pads are damaged or the gel has dried out, use a new set of pads.  
Place each pad on the patient. The pads must be placed with the sticky side  
on the patient’s skin. IMPORTANT: Refer to the drawing on each pad for  
correct positioning. For adult patients, one pad goes just below the  
patient's right collarbone, and the other one goes over the patient’s ribs in  
line with the armpit and below the left breast. For children under eight years  
old, one pad is centered on the chest between the nipples, and the other on  
the back between the scapulae (shoulder bones).  
Connect the pads to the FR2+. Insert the defibrillator pads connector firmly  
into the connector socket. A flashing light shows you where the socket is  
located, at the top left of the FR2+.

3-3  
Step 2: ECG Analysis and Monitoring  
Follow the instructions provided by the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator’s  
voice and screen prompts in the order indicated.  
As soon as the FR2+ detects that the defibrillator pads are connected  
properly, it automatically begins analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm. Do not  
touch the patient during rhythm analysis. The M3860A FR2+ can display the  
patient’s ECG on the screen. When the ECG display is enabled, the  
patient’s heart rate is also displayed during background monitoring and when  
the advanced mode is entered.  
3
If no shock is advised, the FR2+ provides voice and screen prompts to tell  
you so. The FR2+ instructs you to perform CPR if needed, and performs  
background monitoring of the patient’s ECG while you give appropriate care  
to the patient. These instructions are repeated at the programmed Monitor  
Prompt interval (the default interval is one minute) while the FR2+ is  
monitoring the patient.  
NOTE: CPR may interfere with background monitoring. During CPR,  
periodically pause for 15 seconds to check the patient and allow the FR2+  
to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm without CPR artifact.  
Monitoring continues until and unless the FR2+ detects a change in the  
patient’s heart rhythm that may be a shockable rhythm, detects interference  
with rhythm analysis, or is turned off.  
If the FR2+ detects a potentially shockable heart rhythm while monitoring, it  
automatically goes back to analyzing the rhythm to see if a shock is advised.  
If a shock is advised, the FR2+ charges to prepare for shock delivery. It  
gives the voice warnings and screen prompts to tell you that a shock is  
advised. Make sure that no one is touching the patient or the pads. While the  
FR2+ is charging, it continues to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm. If the  
rhythm changes and a shock is no longer appropriate, the FR2+ disarms.  
Voice and display prompts advise you what action to take.  
NOTE: When the FR2+ is fully charged, you can disarm it at any time by  
pressing the On/Off button to turn off the FR2+ and return it to standby  
mode. (See the Defibrillator discussion in Appendix B, “Technical  
Specifications,” for details on disarming the FR2+.)

3-4  
Step 3: Shock Delivery  
Press the Shock button to deliver the shock.  
IMPORTANT: You must press the button for a shock to be delivered. The  
HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator will not automatically deliver a shock.  
There are four ways you can tell that the FR2+ is ready to deliver a shock:  
you hear a voice prompt telling you to deliver a shock,  
you see the Shock button flashing,  
you hear a steady tone, and/or  
you see a screen prompt telling you to press the orange (Shock)  
button.  
After you press the Shock button, a voice prompt tells you the shock was  
delivered. Then FR2+ goes back to analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm to  
see if the shock was successful. The FR2+ continues to provide voice and  
text prompts to guide you through additional shocks, if appropriate.  
NOTE: If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds of being  
prompted, the FR2+ will disarm itself and provide a pause. The device will  
resume analyzing after 30 seconds or when the Resume Analyzing key is  
pressed.  
Pause for CPR. After the programmed number of shocks in a shock series  
are delivered, the FR2+ automatically pauses for a programmed amount of  
time to allow you to perform CPR. After the voice and screen prompts tell  
you that the FR2+ has paused, there are no further voice prompts during the  
rest of the pause, so that you can provide uninterrupted patient care.  
During the pause, the FR2+ screen shows a bar that fills in as the pause time  
is used up. The screen also shows how much time has gone by since the  
FR2+ was turned on,* and how many shocks have been delivered. The  
M3860A FR2+ also displays the ECG, if enabled, during this period.  
*
The FR2+ displays elapsed time to a maximum of 99:59 minutes. If the elapsed time  
of use extends beyond this figure, the minutes are represented by “??” but the  
seconds are displayed. However, total elapsed time will be recorded on an installed  
data card for later review with HeartStart Event Review data management software.

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.  
3
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* on a personal  
computer.  
Check the patient if:  
indicated by the observed ECG display,  
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

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.

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+.  
4
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.

Check the Status Indicator.  
If you see the flashing black hourglass: The FR2+ is  
ready to use. No action required.  
If you see anything other than a flashing black  
hourglass, remove and reinstall the battery to run the  
selftest.  
If the selftest passes and the Status Indicator  
shows the flashing black hourglass, the FR2+ is  
ready to use.  
If the selftest fails, install a new battery and run the  
selftest. If the selftest passes, the FR2+ is ready to  
use. If the selftest fails, contact Philips Medical  
Systems.  
Check supplies, accessories, and spares for  
damage and expiration dating.  
Do not use damaged or expired accessories. Replace  
them immediately.  
If a LOW BATTERY or REPLACE BATTERY message is  
displayed: Replace the battery and run the selftests.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE M3863A FR2  
STANDARD BATTERY. It is not rechargeable. The  
M3848A FR2+ battery is rechargeable. Recharge it,  
using the M3849A Charger, for the FR2+  
rechargeable battery only.  
Check the outside of the FR2+ and the connector  
socket for cracks or other signs of damage.  
If you see signs of damage: Contact Philips Medical  
Systems for technical support.  
After Using the HeartStart FR2+  
After each use of the FR2+, perform the maintenance tasks described in the  
table above, as well as the following post-use checks before returning the  
FR2+ to service:  
Check the operation of the FR2+ by removing and reinstalling the  
battery and running the battery insertion selftest. NOTE: Perform also  
when replacing expired defibrillator pads.  
Check the outside of the FR2+ and the connector socket for signs of  
dirt or contamination. If the FR2+ is dirty or contaminated, clean it  
according to the guidelines provided in this manual.  
Check the data card if one has been used. If the data card has been  
used to record incident data, remove and replace it with a blank data  
card. Deliver the recorded data card to appropriate personnel according  
to your local guidelines and medical protocol.

Check the connector socket to make sure that defibrillator pads are  
disconnected from the FR2+ when it is not in use.  
Check to make sure the data card tray is installed, even if a data card  
is not being used.  
Cleaning the HeartStart FR2+  
The outside of the FR2+, including the defibrillator pads connector socket,  
can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened in one of several appropriate  
cleaning agents (see list below). The following guidelines include some  
important reminders:  
Do not immerse the FR2+ in fluids.  
Make sure a battery (or the M3864A training & administration pack) and  
a data card tray are installed when cleaning the FR2+, to keep fluids out  
of the device.  
Do not use abrasive materials, cleaners, strong solvents such as acetone  
or acetone-based cleaners, or enzymatic cleaners.  
Clean the FR2+ and the connector socket with a soft cloth dampened  
with one of the cleaning agents listed below.

Testing  
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator has several ways of testing itself and  
alerting you if it finds a problem. In addition to the selftest performed each  
time a battery is installed, the FR2+ also automatically performs periodic  
selftests daily.  
NOTE: The FR2+ selftests are designed to check that the FR2+ is ready for  
use. However, in the event that the FR2+ has been dropped or mishandled, it  
is recommended that the battery be removed and reinstalled to initiate a  
selftest. If the FR2+ has visible signs of damage, contact Philips Medical  
Systems for technical support.  
Battery insertion selftest  
As described in Chapter 2, “Preparing Your HeartStart FR2+ for Use,” when  
you insert the battery in the FR2+, be sure that neither the defibrillator pads  
nor the FR2+ ECG assessment module are connected to the device. When  
you insert the battery, a menu is displayed and a two-part selftest will run  
unless you make another selection from the menu within 10 seconds. The  
selftest includes an automatic part and an interactive part.  
4
NOTE: Under certain circumstances, the behavior of your FR2+ will be  
different.  
For example, the menu screen will not appear when a battery is inserted if:  
the defibrillator pads are attached to a patient, indicating that the  
FR2+ is in continued use,  
the FR2+ ECG assessment module is connected to the FR2+, or  
the battery is completely depleted.  
The menu screen will be displayed, but after 10 seconds the FR2+ will go to  
standby mode if you make no selection and:  
less than five minutes have passed since the FR2+ was last used,  
indicating that the FR2+ is still in use.  
It is recommended that the full selftest (including the interactive portion) be  
run under the following circumstances:  
When the FR2+ is first put into service and following each use.  
Whenever the battery is replaced.  
Whenever expired defibrillator pads are replaced during periodic  
maintenance.  
Whenever the defibrillator may have sustained physical damage.

4-6  
When you install the battery, the screen tells you whether or not a data card  
is installed. If so, a screen message displays how much recording time is left  
until the data card is full. (See Chapter 7, Data Management and Review,” for  
how to review the incident information from the internal memory of the FR2+  
or from a data card, if one is used.)  
NOTE: The data card is typically capable of storing a number of incidents.  
However, it is recommended that it be replaced after every use. In the unlikely  
event that the card fills up during an incident, no further data can be  
recorded, so it is important for you to monitor the CARD FULL IN... information  
on this screen.  
Screen contrast can be adjusted during the battery insertion selftest by using  
the Option buttons.  
If battery power is low, replace the battery. If a previous selftest has failed, the  
screen displays a message that the FR2+ must pass a selftest before being  
used.  
It is recommended that you always have a spare battery available. However, if  
a screen display prompts you to replace the battery or the Status Indicator  
shows a flashing red X, but you do not have a spare battery, you can  
continue to use the FR2+ until the battery is completely depleted. This may  
be necessary in an emergency.  
NOTE: It is recommended that the M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery not  
be used as a spare or backup battery.  
NOTE: If you connect defibrillator pads (that are applied to the patient) or  
the FR2+ ECG assessment module to the FR2+ during a battery insertion  
selftest, the selftest will stop and the FR2+ will go to its standby mode to be  
ready for use.  
During the automatic part of the selftest, the screen displays a bar that fills in  
as the test continues. When that part of the test is finished, the FR2+ beeps.  
The results of the selftest are automatically recorded on the data card while  
the tests are running, if a data card was inserted in the FR2+ prior to  
installing the battery.  
If the automatic part of the selftest fails:

4-7  
The screen displays a message that the selftest has failed. After a short  
time, an error code is displayed. Write down the error code and contact  
Philips Medical Systems for technical support.  
The Status Indicator shows a flashing or solid red X.  
Replace the battery with a new battery and repeat the test. If the second  
selftest fails, contact Philips Medical Systems for technical support.  
If the automatic part of the selftest passes:  
The screen displays a message that the selftest passed, then begins the  
interactive part of the test.  
The interactive part of the selftest requires you to respond to prompts in  
order to make sure the display, buttons, lights, and speaker on the FR2+ are  
working properly.  
Screen prompts guide you through a series of steps in the interactive part of  
the selftest. Some ask you to observe that a feature of the FR2+ works  
properly. Others ask you to take certain actions — for example, to press a  
button. The screen then displays a message showing that the button’s  
operation has been verified. If you do not press the button, or if you do but  
the button is not working, the screen displays a message that the button’s  
function is not verified.  
4
It is important to press the buttons and verify the indicators to ensure that the  
FR2+ will be ready for use. If something does not work correctly — for  
example, if lights do not come on or you do not hear beeps when expected —  
make a note of the problem and contact Philips Medical Systems for  
technical support.  
NOTE: Do not use the FR2+ until all parts of the interactive selftest verify  
correct performance. Be sure to note and report any problems you find.

Periodic selftests  
In addition to the battery insertion selftest, the FR2+ automatically performs  
periodic selftests (PSTs). These daily, weekly, and extensive monthly selftests  
check many important functions of the FR2+, including battery capacity and  
internal circuitry.  
If it detects a problem during one of these periodic selftests, the FR2+  
beeps and displays a flashing red X or a solid red X on the Status Indicator.

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.

Automatic protocol parameters  
The HeartStart FR2+ is designed to follow an automatic protocol that guides  
you through patient treatment with the defibrillator. The default settings for  
programmable parameters used in the automatic protocol can be altered by  
your Medical Director if desired.  
The setup parameters in the following table are used to define the automatic  
patient care protocol used by the FR2+. Many of these parameters interact  
with each other, so it is very important to understand how each parameter  
affects the protocol. The description of each parameter identifies any  
interacting parameters in boldface type.

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.

In the M3861A HeartStart FR2+, the patient’s ECG is not displayed; in the  
M3860A, the display includes the patient’s ECG and heart rate.  
Press the lower Option button (ANALYZE) to initiate rhythm analysis by the  
FR2+. If a shock is advised, the FR2+ automatically charges, and prompts  
you to press the Shock button.  
After shock delivery, the HeartStart FR2+ returns to the advanced mode  
display and monitors the patient’s heart rhythm. If a potentially shockable  
rhythm is detected, the text and voice prompts advise you to PRESS  
ANALYZE.  
NOTE: If you do not press the lower Option button (labeled ANALYZE) to  
initiate rhythm analysis when prompted, the HeartStart FR2+ does not  
analyze and prompt if a shock is advised. It is important that you understand  
that entering the advanced mode entails taking responsibility for these  
functions.  
If the rhythm analysis results in a Shock Advised decision, the FR2+ begins  
charging, prompts you to press the Shock button, and displays a MANUAL  
DISARM option at the top of the screen. If for any reason you want to cancel  
the shock, press the upper Option button to disarm the FR2+.  
To return to non-manual, AED mode operation, turn the FR2+ off by pressing  
the On/Off button. Then turn the FR2+ on by pressing the On/Off button  
again.

enabled, press both Option buttons simultaneously. This brings up a screen  
that includes a highlighted line at the top, labeled MANUAL, with an  
arrowhead pointing to the upper Option button, and another at the bottom,  
labeled ANALYZE, with an arrowhead pointing to the lower Option button.  
When the advanced mode is entered, display of the patient’s ECG and heart  
rate is automatically initiated.  
Pressing the lower Option button (ANALYZE) provides user-initiated rhythm  
analysis as described above. Pressing the upper Option button (MANUAL)  
brings up a new screen.

If the ECG display shows that, in your expert clinical judgment, the patient  
has a shockable rhythm, press the upper Option button (MANUAL CHARGE).  
The HeartStart FR2+ will immediately charge for shock delivery.  
As soon as charging begins, the screen message changes to CHARGING,  
STAND CLEAR, and the label for the arrowhead pointing to the upper Option  
button changes to MANUAL DISARM.  
The FR2+ beeps while it is charging. When the beeping changes to a  
continuous tone and the Shock button light flashes, press the Shock button  
to deliver a shock. However, if the ECG display shows that the patient’s  
rhythm has changed to a non-shockable rhythm, press the upper Option  
button to disarm the HeartStart FR2+.  
After shock delivery, the HeartStart FR2+ returns to the initial advanced  
mode screen. To return to non-manual, AED mode operation, turn the FR2+  
off by pressing the On/Off button. Then turn the FR2+ on by pressing the  
On/Off button again.

Data Management and Review  
Overview  
The HeartStart FR2+ is designed to make it easy to manage incident data.  
Some information is automatically stored in the internal memory of the  
HeartStart FR2+. More detailed data can be stored on a data card if desired.  
The incident information stored in the HeartStart FR2+’s internal memory, or  
a summary of the information recorded on the data card, can then be  
displayed on the HeartStart FR2+ screen for review. In addition, HeartStart  
Event Review* software can be used on a personal computer to store and  
review the detailed recorded information from a data card.  
Recording Incident Data  
The HeartStart FR2+ has two ways of recording information about an  
emergency incident so that it can be reviewed after the incident: in internal  
memory and on an optional data card.  
Recording data in internal memory  
Summary data for an incident is automatically recorded in internal memory by  
the FR2+ while you are using it.  
Recording data on a data card  
The M3854A data card can be used to store several hours of detailed  
incident data, including events and ECG.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: To record incident data on a data card, the data card  
must be installed before you turn on the FR2+.  
7
CAUTION: The FR2+ is designed to be used only with Philips-approved  
accessories. The FR2+ may perform improperly if non-approved accessories  
are used.  
*
HeartStart Event Review software was previously sold as CodeRunner software.

7-2  
To install a data card:  
1. Make sure the data card is clean and dry.  
2. Load the data card into its plastic tray, with the tray’s “tongue” fitting  
over the matching yellow area on the data card. The label on the card  
should face up. The label has an arrow indicating which side to insert  
into the data card port.  
3. Make sure the FR2+ is off (in standby mode), or that the battery has  
been removed.  
4. Hold the loaded tray by its handle and gently insert the tray into the data  
card port on the right side of the FR2+. Push the tray all the way into the  
port until only the tab remains outside the FR2+ case. Do not force the  
tray into the port. If the tray is hard to insert, remove it and make sure that  
the arrow label is face up and pointing toward the data card port.  
The data card will automatically record incident data the next time the  
HeartStart FR2+ is turned on.  
To avoid running out of data card space during an incident, it is  
recommended that each data card be used to record the information for only  
one incident and that it be replaced after each use of the FR2+.  
If you record information from more than one incident on a data card, it is  
important to review how much time is left on the used data card before  
recording a new incident. To do this, load the data card into the data card  
tray, insert the tray in the FR2+, then remove and reinstall the battery. The  
first screen displayed shows how much recording time remains on the card.  
NOTE: During an incident, if for any reason you turn off the FR2+ for less  
than five minutes, the FR2+ considers this to be a “continued use” situation,  
and:  
the information stored about the incident is saved,  
additional events recorded after the device is turned back on will be  
treated as part of the same incident, and  
the selftest will not automatically run if the battery is replaced.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove the battery while incident data are  
being recorded to a data card. To ensure that no incident data are lost, turn  
the FR2+ off (return it to standby mode) before replacing the battery.

7-3  
To replace a data card:  
IMPORTANT: You must turn the FR2+ off (return it to standby mode) before  
you remove the data card, to ensure that no incident data are lost.  
1. Press the On/Off button to turn off the FR2+. Never replace the data  
card unless the FR2+ is turned off.  
2. Remove the loaded data card tray by grasping its handle and pulling it  
out of the port.  
3. Remove the data card from the tray.  
4. Give the data card to the appropriate person in your organization.  
5. Because it helps seal the FR2+ against moisture, the data card tray  
should always be reinserted into the port of the FR2+. Either load a new  
data card into the tray and insert it, or insert the empty data card tray into  
the port.  
Reviewing Incident Data  
Reviewing data from internal memory  
Summary information from the last incident that is stored in the internal  
memory of the HeartStart FR2+ can be displayed on its screen for review. To  
review this information:  
1. Remove the data card if one is installed and unplug the pads connector.  
2. Remove and reinstall the battery. (Make sure you are using the gray  
M3863A FR2 standard battery or the blue M3848A rechargeable  
battery, not the yellow training & administration pack.)  
3. Select REVIEW INCIDENT from the menu. A new screen comes up.  
4. Observe and record, if desired, the summary information displayed on  
the screen:  
how long the incident recorded by the FR2+ lasted, and  
how many shocks were delivered during the incident.  
7
This information stays in the FR2+’s memory and can be displayed for review  
until the next time the FR2+ is used. At that time, the data from the new  
incident will be displayed.

Follows pre-programmed settings to match local EMS guidelines or medical  
protocols. The settings can be modified using the setup options.  
Shockable Rhythms  
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and certain ventricular tachycardias, including  
ventricular flutter and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The HeartStart  
FR2+ uses multiple parameters to determine if a rhythm is shockable.  
NOTE: For safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms  
may not be interpreted as shockable VF rhythms. Also, some VT rhythms may not  
be interpreted as shockable rhythms. CPR rates significantly above 100  
compressions per minute can cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the  
HeartStart FR2+.  
Asystole  
On detection of asystole, provides CPR prompt at programmed interval.

continued use ........................ A condition in which use of the HeartStart FR2+ is interrupted for less than  
five minutes (e.g., for battery replacement). When the battery is reinserted or  
the unit is turned on again, the information stored about the interrupted  
incident is saved, any additional events recorded after the battery is  
reinstalled are treated as part of the same incident, and the selftest does not  
automatically run when the battery is reinstalled.  
CPR timer ................................ A programmable period provided by the HeartStart FR2+ during which the  
responder can administer CPR.  
defibrillation ............................ Termination of cardiac fibrillation by applying electrical energy  
defibrillation charge .............. Electrical energy stored in the capacitor of the HeartStart FR2+ as it arms for  
shock delivery.  
defibrillation shock ................ See SMART biphasic waveform.”  
defibrillator pads .................... The self-adhesive electrode pads applied to the adult patient’s bare chest or  
pediatric (under 8 years of age or less than 55 lb./25 kg) patient’s bare chest  
and back, and used to detect the patient’s heart rhythm and transfer the

defibrillator pads with the HeartStart FR2+.  
ECG .......................................... Electrocardiogram, a display or printout of the electrical rhythm of the heart  
as detected through defibrillator pads.  
event ........................................ An action recognized or performed by the HeartStart FR2+ as a step in the  
sequence of using the device in an incident. Examples include: applying the  
pads and connecting them to the HeartStart FR2+, analyzing heart rhythm,  
delivering a shock, etc.  
fibrillation ................................ A disturbance of the normal heart rhythm that results in chaotic, disorganized  
activity that cannot effectively pump blood. Ventricular fibrillation (fibrillation  
in the lower chambers of the heart) is associated with sudden cardiac arrest.  
heart rhythm  
(ECG) analysis ..................  
A system used by the FR2+ to determine if the patient’s heart rhythm is  
shockable — ventricular fibrillation (VF) or certain ventricular tachycardias  
(VTs). See “SMART analysis.”

CodeRunner) for use with the HeartStart FR2+. It is available from Philips  
Medical Systems on CD or on the world wide web at  
http://www.medical.philips.com/goto/eventreview.  
impedance .............................. Electrically, this is the total opposition offered by the body to the flow of the  
electrical shock waveform delivered by the HeartStart FR2+. The FR2+  
automatically monitors the electrical impedance between the defibrillator  
pads placed on the patient’s bare skin, and adjusts the shock waveform  
appropriately.  
incident .................................... The series of events involved in treating a patient with the HeartStart FR2+.  
infrared  
communications ...............  
A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It  
is used to transmit information to and from the HeartStart FR2+ and another  
FR2+ or a computer running HeartStart Event Review software.

D-3  
non-shockable  
rhythm ................................  
A heart rhythm that the HeartStart FR2+ determines is not appropriate for  
shock delivery.  
NSA .......................................... No Shock Advised decision, made by the HeartStart FR2+ based on  
analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.  
pacemaker .............................. External or implanted cardiac pulse generator that stimulates the heart  
electronically.  
pads ......................................... See “defibrillator pads.”  
D
pause ....................................... A defined period during which the HeartStart FR2+ does not perform rhythm  
analysis.  
pediatric defibrillation ............ Defibrillation of a child under eight years of age or 55 lbs. (25 Kg). It is  
recommended that FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads be  
used for pediatric patients.  
periodic selftests ................... Daily, weekly, and monthly tests automatically conducted by the FR2+ when  
it is in the standby mode. The tests monitor many key functions and  
parameters of the FR2+, including battery capacity and the state of its  
internal circuitry.  
presenting ECG ...................... The heart rhythm seen by the HeartStart FR2+ when it is first connected to  
the patient (via the defibrillator pads) and begins rhythm analysis.  
prompts ................................... The voice commands and screen text used to guide the responder through  
use of the HeartStart FR2+ to treat the patient.
