1 Introduction to the HeartStart FR2+
What is the HeartStart FR2+?
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator (“FR2+”) is an automated external defibrillator. It is compact, lightweight, portable, and battery powered. It is designed for simple and reliable operation by a trained responder.
N O T E : The HeartStart FR2+ is an enhanced version of the defibrillator previously sold as the Heartstream FR2. The FR2+ has all the features of the FR2. All accessories compatible with the FR2 are also compatible with the FR2+. However, the FR2+ has some new features not present in the FR2 and can be used with certain accessories (labeled FR2+) that are not compatible with the FR2.
The FR2+ has a Status Indicator that is always active, so you can tell at a glance if it is ready for use. The front panel of the FR2+ has an On/Off button at the top and a Shock button at the bottom. A display screen in the center of the panel provides text prompts and incident information. Voice prompts are provided through a speaker located at the base of the FR2+. (See the diagram on the inside front cover for details.)
The FR2+ is available in two models, the M3860A and the M3861A. They share a set of basic features, detailed in Chapter 6. The principle differences between the two models are identified below:
