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:
N O T E : The FR2+ comes with a factory default setup that can be modified.
(See Chapter 6, “Setup and Advanced Mode Features,” for a description of
setup defaults and options.)
