HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
If a shock is not needed:
The blue i-button comes on solid, to show that it is safe to touch the
patient. The FRx also tells you to perform CPR if needed. (If CPR is
not needed – for example, if the patient is moving or regaining
consciousness – follow your local protocol until emergency medical
personnel arrive.) Then the FRx invites you to press the flashing blue
i-button for CPR Coaching if desired.
For CPR Coaching:
Press the flashing blue i-button during the first 30 seconds
of the patient care pause to activate CPR Coaching.
*
(If the Infant/Child Key is inserted, the CPR Coaching
provided will be for infant/child CPR.) When the pause is
over, the defibrillator tells you to stop CPR, so it can analyze the
patient’s heart rhythm. The motion caused by CPR can interfere with
analysis, so be sure to stop all motion when instructed.
Treating infants and children
WARNING: Most cardiac arrests in children are not caused by
heart problems. When responding to cardiac arrest in an infant
or child:
• Provide infant/child CPR while a bystander calls EMS and brings
the FRx.
• If no bystander is available, provide 1-2 minutes of CPR before
calling EMS and retrieving the FRx.
• If you witnessed the child's collapse, call EMS immediately and
then get the FRx.
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.
* The default configuration for the FRx provides CPR Coaching when you press
the i-button in this situation; however, the default setting can be revised by your
Medical Director using Philips software available separately. See Appendix F for
more information.
