3-2 Using Your H EARTSTREAM FR2
Step 1:
Preparation
Press the On/Off button to turn on the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2. Follow
the instructions provided by the FR2 voice and screen prompts in
the order indicated.
Remove clothing from the patient's chest. Wipe moisture from the patient's chest and
clip or shave excessive chest hair, if necessary.
Open the defibrillation pads package. Check to see that the pads and attached cable
and connector are undamaged. Pull off the protective backing from the defibrillation
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 the back of each pad for correct
positioning. 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.
Connect the pads to the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2. Insert the defibrillation pads connector
firmly in the connector socket. A flashing light shows you where the socket is
located, at the top left of the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2.
