HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
APPENDICES
HeartStart Event Review A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to
review and analyze FRx Defibrillator patient use and by authorized personnel to
alter FRx configuration. Information is available from Philips Medical Systems on
the internet at http://www.medical.philips.com/goto/eventreview.
i-button A blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator. If the
i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the
FRx provides CPR Coaching;* if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing and the
FRx is chirping, the FRx provides troubleshooting guidance. At other times, if the
i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the FRx provides summary
information about its last clinical use and device status. When the i-button is on
solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely touch the patient.
Infant/Child Key A “key” recommended for use when defibrillating a potential SCA victim under
55 pounds or 8 years old. When inserted into a dedicated slot on the FRx’s front
panel, the Infant/Child Key illustrates correct pads placement, with lighted icons,
on these young victims. With the Infant/Child Key inserted, the HeartStart FRx
automatically reduces the energy of any shock delivered to 50 J and provides CPR
Coaching, if selected, appropriate for infants and children.
infrared (IR)
communications
A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It is
used to transmit information between the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator and a
computer running HeartStart Event Review software.
NSA “No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator that a
shock is not needed, based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
NSA pause A pause provided by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator following an No Shock
Advised (NSA) decision. The pause can be configured to a “standard” NSA pause
or a “SMART” NSA pause. During a standard NSA pause the defibrillator
performs no background monitoring of patient rhythm. During a SMART NSA
pause, the defibrillator conducts background monitoring and, if it detects an
artifact-free shockable rhythm, will exit the pause and begin rhythm analysis. If the
HeartStart FRx detects artifact such as that created by CPR, or if the user presses
the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator will
not exit the pause for rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be completed
uninterrupted.
non-shockable rhythm A heart rhythm that the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator determines is not
appropriate for defibrillation.
* Pressing the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause turns off
background monitoring.
