D | Glossary of Terms |
| The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the HeartStart |
| FR2+ and its use. |
advanced mode | A programmable treatment mode that permits an authorized user to control |
| when the FR2+ starts rhythm analysis and (model M3860A only) when to |
| begin defibrillator charging for shock delivery. |
AED | Automated external defibrillator. |
AED mode | D |
The standard FR2+ treatment mode, with voice and screen prompts guiding | |
| the responder through connecting the defibrillator pads, waiting for rhythm |
| analysis, and delivering a shock if needed. In this mode, heart rhythm analysis |
| and monitoring, and shock decision and charging for shock delivery are |
| automatically performed by the FR2+. |
ALS | Advanced Life Support. |
analysis | See “SMART analysis.” |
arrhythmia | An unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart. |
battery | See “standard battery” and “rechargeable battery.” |
BLS | Basic Life Support. |
continued use | A condition in which use of the HeartStart FR2+ is interrupted for less than |
| five minutes (e.g., for battery replacement). When the battery is reinserted or |
| the unit is turned on again, the information stored about the interrupted |
| incident is saved, any additional events recorded after the battery is |
| reinstalled are treated as part of the same incident, and the selftest does not |
| automatically run when the battery is reinstalled. |
CPR timer | A programmable period provided by the HeartStart FR2+ during which the |
| responder can administer CPR. |
defibrillation | Termination of cardiac fibrillation by applying electrical energy |
defibrillation charge | Electrical energy stored in the capacitor of the HeartStart FR2+ as it arms for |
| shock delivery. |
defibrillation shock | See “SMART biphasic waveform.” |
defibrillator pads | The |
| pediatric (under 8 years of age or less than 55 lb./25 kg) patient’s bare chest |
| and back, and used to detect the patient’s heart rhythm and transfer the |
