Running the Battery Insertion Selftest
2-4 Preparing Your H EARTSTREAM FR2 for Use
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 defibrillation pads are not connected to the FR2
before running the battery insertion selftest.
The selftest has two parts. The first part tests the FR2 circuitry and memory. 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 H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 are
working properly. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting Your
H
EARTSTREAM
FR2, for details about this selftest.)
To run the selftest:
1. Make sure the FR2 has not been in use for at least 5 minutes, and that the
defibrillation 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, OR
4. Make no selection for 10 seconds, and the selftest will start automatically.
NOTE: If you connect defibrillation pads (that are applied to the patient) to the FR2
during a battery insertion selftest, the selftest will stop so that the FR2 is in standby
(ready for use) mode.
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. (See Chapter 4, Maintaining, Testing, and
Troubleshooting Your H
EARTSTREAM
FR2, for details about the interactive part of the
test.)
When the selftest is complete, the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 automatically turns off and
returns to standby mode. In the standby mode, the FR2 is ready for use at any time,
simply by pressing the On/Off button to turn it on.
