FRx data storage
The FRx automatically stores data about its last clinical use in its
internal memory. The stored data can be conveniently transferred to
a personal computer or a handheld computer running the
appropriate application in the Philips HeartStar t Event Review data
management software suite. Event Review software is for use by
trained personnel only. Information about HeartStart Event Review
is available online www.medical.philips.com/goto/eventreview.
Follow your local protocol with regard to prompt data transfer for
medical review after using the FRx.* Details about data transfer and
timing are provided in Event Review documentation.
The information automatically stored by the FRx includes a summary
of last-use data and detailed data about its last clinical use. You can
get a voice summary of information about the last use of the
defibrillator by holding the i- button down until it beeps once. The
FRx will tell you how many shocks were delivered and how long it
has been since it was turned on. Summary data are available anytime
the defibrillator is ready for use (the battery and pads are installed,
and the defibrillator is not turned on) or while it is actually in use.
Removing the battery erases the summary data for the last use.
Last-use data stored in internal memory include:
• ECG recordings (a maximum of 15 minutes following pads
application†)
* The FRx automatically stores information about its last clinical use in its internal
memory for at least 30 days, so the data can be downloaded to a computer
running appropriate Event Review software. (If the battery is removed during
this period, the defibrillator retains the fi les. When the battery is reinstalled,
the last-use ECG recording will be kept in defibrillator memory for an additio nal
30 days.) After this time, the last-use ECG recordin gs will automatically be
erased to prepare for a future use.
† If ECG recordings from a previous use have not been erased, the maximum time
for new ECG recordings may be less.
