Agilent Technologies Heartstream FR2, User Manual, Page: 57 / 87

Using Advanced Mode Features
6-10 Setup and Advanced Mode Features
in the FR2, then select SETUP. Then select MODIFY SETUP from the SETUP menu.
Select ADVANCED from the third menu of the MODIFY SETUP menu.
Using the upper Option button, scroll through the available settings for ADVANCED.
The advanced mode options available are based on the FR2 model used. For the
M3860A, the user can select ANALYZE or CHARGE. For the M3861A the user can
select only ANALYZE. (Detailed directions for use are supplied with the 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 H
EARTSTREAM
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.
This 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 H
EARTSTREAM
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,
responsiveness, and pulse; to apply the defibrillation pads and connect them to the
H
EARTSTREAM
FR2; and to follow the voice and text prompts provided by the
H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 in its 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
H
EARTSTREAM
FR2. These include user-initiated analysis and manual charge and
disarm control.
