Defibrillation warnings and cautions

5-4

safety level	possible improper device performance

CAUTION	Use only Philips-approved data cards. The HeartStart FR2+ may perform
	improperly if non-approved accessories are used.


safety level	possible electrical interference with ECG monitoring

WARNING	Radio-frequency (RF) interference from devices such as cellular
	phones and two-way radios can cause improper HeartStart FR2+
	operation. The HeartStart FR2+ should be used at least 6 feet (2
	meters) away from RF devices, as stated in accordance with EN
	61000-4-3:1996.

	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. Disconnect the pads connector
	from the HeartStart FR2+ before using any other defibrillator.


safety levels	possible ECG misinterpretation

WARNING	For safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency heart
	rhythms may not be interpreted by the HeartStart 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 HeartStart FR2+ gives
	a SHOCK ADVISED prompt, keep the patient as still as possible for at
	least 15 seconds so the HeartStart FR2+ can reconfirm the rhythm
	analysis before a shock is delivered.
