HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL

APPENDICES

HeartStart Event Review A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to

review and analyze FRx Defibrillator patient use and by authorized personnel to

alter FRx configuration. Information is available from Philips M edical Systems on

the internet at http://www.medical.philips.com/goto/eventreview.

i-button A blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator. If the

i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the

FRx provides CPR Coaching;* if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing and the

FRx is chirping, the FRx provides troubleshooting guidance. At other times, if the

i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the FRx provides summary

information about its last clinical use and device status. When the i-button is on

solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely touch the patient.

Infant/Child Key A “key” recommended for use when defibrillating a potential SCA victim under

55 pounds or 8 years old. When inserted into a dedicated slot on the FRx’s front

panel, the Infant/Child Key illustrates correct pads placement, with lighted icons,

on these young victims. With the Infant/Child Key inserted, th e HeartStart FRx

automatically reduces the energ y of any shock delivered to 50 J and provides C PR

Coaching, if selected, appropriate for infants and children.

infrared (IR)

communications

A method of sending information using a sp ecial part of the light spectrum. It is

used to transmit information between the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator and a

computer running HeartStart Event Review software.

NSA “No Shock Advised,” a decision m ade by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillat or that a

shock is not needed, based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.

NSA pause A pause provided by the HeartS tart FRx Defibrillator following an No Shock

Advised (NSA) decision. The pause can be configured to a “standard” NSA pause

or a “SMART” NSA pause. During a standard NSA pause the defibrillator

performs no background monito ring of patient rhythm. During a SMART NSA

pause, the defibrillator conducts bac kground monitoring and, if it detects an

artifact-free shockable rhythm, will exit the pause and begin rhythm analysis. If the

HeartStart FRx detects ar tifact such as that created by CPR, or if the user presses

the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause, the d efibrillator will

not exit the pause for rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be completed

uninterrupted.

non-shockable rhythm A heart rhythm that the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator determines is not

appropriate for defibrillation.

* Pressing the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause turns off

background monitoring.
