5-4 Clinical and Safety Considerations
Defibrillation Warnings and Cautions
SAFETY LEVEL
POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury. Do not touch the patient during
defibrillation. Do not allow the defibrillation pads to touch any metal surfaces. Disconnect
the pads connector from the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 before using any other defibrillator.
SAFETY LEVELS
POSSIBLE ECG MISINTERPRETATION
WARNING Do not place the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest and back (anterior-posterior). This
pad placement can interfere with correct rhythm analysis and shock/no shock decision. For
correct operation, the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 requires that the defibrillation pads be placed on the
chest (anterior-anterior), as shown on the pads.
WARNING For safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency heart rhythms may not be
interpreted by the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 as shockable VF rhythms. Also, some VT rhythms may
not be interpreted as shockable rhythms.
WARNING Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm analysis can cause an incorrect or
delayed diagnosis. If the H
EARTSTREAM
FR2 gives a SHOCK ADVISED prompt, keep the patient
as still as possible for at least 15 seconds so the H EARTSTREAM FR2 can reconfirm the rhythm
analysis before a shock is delivered.
SAFETY LEVELS
POSSIBLE BURNS AND INEFFECTIVE ENERGY
WARNING Do not allow the defibrillation pads to touch each other or other ECG electrodes, lead wires,
dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and patient
skin burns during defibrillation and may also divert the defibrillation current away from the
heart.
WARNING During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillation pads can cause patient
skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillation pads completely adhere to
the skin. Do not use dried out defibrillation pads.
SAFETY LEVEL
POSSIBLE PATIENT INJURY
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.
