Maintaining the HeartStart FRx
Routine maintenance
The FRx is very simple to maintain. The defibrillator performs a
self-test every day. In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run
whenever a battery is installed in the device. The defibrillator’s
extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for any
manual calibration.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the FRx, remove
its covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable
components in the FRx. If repair is required, return the FRx to an
authorized service center.
Reminders:
•
Do not leave the defibrillator without a set of pads connected;
the defibrillator will start chirping and the i-button will start
flashing.
•
Do not store the FRx with the Infant/Child Key installed.
•
The FRx runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is
blinking, it is NOT necessary to test the defibrillator by initiating
a battery insertion self-test. This uses battery power and risks
draining the battery prematurely.
