Indications for Use
The HeartStart FR2+ is intended to be used with disposable defibrillation pads applied to a person who is experiencing the symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA): unresponsiveness and absence of breathing. If in doubt, apply the pads. When the patient is under 8 years or weighs less than 55 pounds (25 kg), apply FR2 infant/child reduced-energy defibrillator pads, if available. WARNING: Performance of the SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings has not been established in patients under 8 years or 55 lb (25 kg). See Appendix E for more information. The HeartStart FR2+ is intended for use by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The user should be qualified by training in basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS), or other physician-authorized emergency medical response. At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the M3860A FR2+ with ECG display enabled can also be used with the FR2+ ECG assessment module to display the rhythm of a responsive or breathing patient, regardless of age. The FR2+ and ECG assessment module system provides a non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring. While connected to the FR2+ ECG assessment module, the FR2+ evaluates the patient's ECG and disables its shock capability.
Device Story
The HeartStart FR2+ is an automated external defibrillator (AED) used by trained responders to treat sudden cardiac arrest. It inputs ECG signals via disposable pads or an optional ECG cable. The device uses a Patient Analysis System (PAS) to automatically analyze the ECG for shockable rhythms; it delivers a biphasic truncated exponential waveform shock if indicated. The device features impedance compensation and artifact detection; it suspends analysis if signal quality is poor. It includes an optional ECG display for monitoring responsive patients. Data is recorded on an optional card. The device is highly configurable via a Training and Administration Pack, which also enables training scripts. The FR2+ provides voice and text prompts to guide the responder. By automating rhythm analysis and shock delivery, the device facilitates rapid intervention, potentially improving survival outcomes for SCA patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Biphasic truncated exponential waveform; impedance-compensating; lithium manganese dioxide battery; LCD screen; infrared communication port; disposable defibrillation pads; optional ECG cable/module. Configurable parameters. Software-based rhythm analysis.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) symptoms (unresponsiveness, apnea). Pediatric use (under 8 years or <55 lbs) requires reduced-energy pads. Contraindicated for shock delivery when connected to the ECG assessment module (monitoring mode only). Intended for trained BLS/ALS or authorized emergency responders.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An automated external defibrillator (AED) system consists of an AED and those accessories necessary for the AED to detect and interpret an electrocardiogram and deliver an electrical shock (e.g., battery, pad electrode, adapter, and hardware key for pediatric use). An AED system analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram, interprets the cardiac rhythm, and automatically delivers an electrical shock (fully automated AED), or advises the user to deliver the shock (semi-automated or shock advisory AED) to treat ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
