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.
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.

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.

:
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+.
