E Glossary of Terms
The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2
and its use.
Advanced Mode
................... A programmable treatment mode that permits an authorized user to control when
the FR2 starts rhythm analysis and (model M3860A only) when to begin defibrillator
charging for shock delivery.
AED
...................................... Semi-automatic external defibrillator.
AED Mode
............................ The standard FR2 treatment mode, with voice and screen prompts guiding the
responder through connecting the defibrillation pads, waiting for rhythm analysis,
and delivering a shock if needed. In this mode, heart rhythm analysis and
monitoring, and shock decision and charging for shock delivery are automatically
performed by the FR2.
ALS
...................................... Advanced Life Support.
Analysis
............................... See SMART Analysis.
Arrhythmia
........................... An unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart.
Battery
................................. The sealed lithium manganese dioxide battery used to power the FR2. It is provided
in a gray pack that fits into a compartment at the top of the FR2.

UNNER
.......................... A dedicated data management software system from Agilent Technologies for use
with the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2.
Continued Use ...................... A condition in which use of the H
EARTSTREAM
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 H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 during which the
responder can administer CPR.
