FRED easy
ECG analysis
Before each analysis, the device informs the user that the patient must not be
touched.
In semi-automatic mode, the device prompts the user to start an ECG analysis by
pressing the green button
.
In automatic as well as semi-automatic mode (with automatic analysis activated), the
FRED easy®
informs the user that the analysis is going to be performed. The ECG
analysis is started without any intervention by the user.
The analysis takes approximately 10 seconds.
• Motion detection
During ECG analysis, the patient must lie as still as possible and the user must suspend
CPR; otherwise, artefacts may lead to an incorrect analysis.
The
FRED easy®
includes a motion detection function. When the ECG analysis is
disturbed by CPR or patient movements, the device informes the user via a voice
prompt and a written message on the display. The analysis is automatically resumed
as soon as the cause of disturbance has been eliminated.
If no correct analysis has been obtained by the time the instruction has been repeated
5 times, the device recommends to perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation cycle.
• If no analysis has been initiated after a few seconds following the prompt to start
the analysis, the device recommends to perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation
cycle. At the end of the CPR cycle, the device repeats the prompt to start the anal-
ysis.
• The semi-automatic
FRED easy®
can be configured to automatically start the ECG
analysis without pressing the green button
.
