HeartStart FR3 Defibrillator Operation, and Maintenance INTENTIONALLY BLANK Automated External Defibrillator GUIDE TO SETUP, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are directly related to how soon victims receive treatment. For every minute of delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%.
Treatment with CPR and defibrillation cannot assure survival. In some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not survivable despite any available care.

HEARTSTART FR3 DEFIBRILLATOR DESCRIPTION AND INDICATIONS FOR USE The HeartStart FR3 Defibrillator (FR3) is a compact, lightweight, battery-powered automated external defibrillator (AED) designed for use by trained responders to treat suspected victims of ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and certain ventricular tachycardias (VTs). The FR3 is used with disposable defibrillator pads applied to potential victims of SCA with the following symptoms: Absence of normal breathing If in doubt, apply the pads, as illustrated.
Pads placement on adults. The FR3 is intended for use on adults and children over 55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old. Pads placement on children The FR3 is also intended for children under under 55 lbs (25 kg) or 55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old when used 8 years old. with the optional FR3 Infant/Child Key [REF: 989803150031]. If the Infant/Child Key is not available, or you are uncertain of the child's age or weight, do not delay treatment. Apply the pads as illustrated for a child and use the defibrillator.
WARNING: Performance of the SMART CPR AUTO1 and AUTO2 settings for the CPR First feature has not been established in patients under 55 lb (25 kg) or 8 years old.
INTENDED USERThe HeartStart FR3 is intended for use by responders who have been trained in its operation and qualified by training in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), or another physician-authorized emergency medical response program.
SETUP AND CONFIGURATIONThe FR3 is shipped with a factory-default setup optimized for compliance with Guidelines 2010 to meet the needs of most users. However, the FR3 is extensively configurable. Any changes to default settings must be done under supervision of the Medical Director. Depending on the kind of changes you will be making, you will also need the following: Changing the FR3 primary language: the FR3 language card, provided with certain versions of the FR3 and also available separately [REF: 989803150101].
Changing the FR3 device operation, self-test options, patient care, defibrillation, and advanced use mode parameter settings: the HeartStart Configure software [REF: 861438], available separately.
Enabling the FR3 bilingual option and selecting a secondary language: the HeartStart Configure software and the FR3 language card.
Setup with the optional FR3 language card and the optional FR3 data card is discussed below. See the FR3 Instructions for Administrators CD-ROM, provided with the FR3, for a list of all accessories and directions on setting up the FR3 with other optional accessories.
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL FR3 LANGUAGE CARD AND THE BATTERY The primary language is the language the FR3 uses for voice and text prompts. The FR3 can operate in any language that is provided on the FR3 language card.
(Optional) Install the FR3 language card. If you do not want to change the default primary language, go to the following section,
"Installing the Optional Data Card and the Battery."
To change the default primary language to a different primary language, follow these steps: Insert the FR3 language card into the data card slot in the bottom of the FR3 battery compartment. A label on the floor of the battery compartment shows the correct orientation for inserting the card. A retention clip helps hold the card in the slot. The tail on the data card serves as a visual reminder that a card is installed and aids in card removal.
Check the battery label to be sure the battery is within its install-by date. Remove the battery
from its packaging. Install the battery in the FR3 battery compartment, while holding down the right
option button. Keep the button pressed until the language selection screen is displayed. The FR3
display screen automatically provides a list of languages. There may be more than one screen of (Optional) Re-install the Press the  option button to scroll to the language you want, then press the  option button to battery while holding down select it. (If no selection is made within 60 seconds, the FR3 shuts down.) The new language file the right option button. automatically loads. The FR3 displays the language name and a progress bar. During language installation, the FR3 cannot be turned off. When the language load is complete, the FR3 will operate in the new language. Other default or previously modified configuration settings will remain unchanged. The FR3 displays a screen for 10 seconds announcing that the setup is complete, and reminding you to remove the language card.
Now, remove the battery and the FR3 language card.* To remove the language card, grasp the data card by its tail, press the retention clip away from the card, and pull the card out. Store the language card in a safe place for future use or reference.

NOTE: Perform CPR, if needed, any time there is delay before or an interruption in use of the FR3.
For detailed information about device behavior when it is not in use, consult the Administrator's Reference CD-ROM provided with the FR3 or contact Philips.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
It is important to understand how to use your FR3 safely. In addition to the cautions provided
throughout this guide, please review the safety considerations described in the following table. A
danger describes an immediate hazard that will result in personal injury or death. A warning
describes something that could cause serious personal injury or death. A caution describes something
that could cause minor personal injury, damage to the FR3, loss of data stored in the defibrillator, or
less chance of successful defibrillation.
If the FR3 is used to give a shock in the presence of flammable anesthetics or concentrated oxygen, there is a risk of explosion. Move supplemental oxygen and oxygen delivery devices away from the defibrillation pads. However, it is safe to use the FR3 on someone wearing an oxygen mask.
The FR3 has not been evaluated or approved for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electrical Code (Articles 500-503). In accordance with the IEC Classifications (Section 5.5), the FR3 is not to be used in the presence of flammable substance/air mixtures.
The 989803150161 and 989803150171 clinical use batteries are not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge, open, crush, or burn the battery, or it may explode or catch fire.
Performing CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient while the FR3 is analyzing the heart rhythm can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. Under certain circumstances, this may result in a prompt to stop all movement so that the device can confirm rhythm analysis.
Handling or transporting the patient during heart rhythm analysis can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. If the FR3 gives a shock advised prompt, keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds so the FR3 can reconfirm the rhythm analysis before a shock is delivered.
If battery leaks/vents, seek immediate medical attention for any physical contact/inhalation.
Radio-frequency (RF) interference from devices such as cellular phones, two-way radios, surgical equipment, electronic article surveillance equipment, and metal detectors can cause improper operation of the FR3. If the FR3 prompts that it cannot analyze, remove the FR3 from potential RF sources. Alternatively, move or turn off the RF source.
Using damaged or expired equipment or accessories may cause the defibrillator to perform improperly, and/or injure the victim or the user.
Use the FR3 only as described in this manual. Improper use of the FR3 can cause death or injury. Do not press the Shock button if the defibrillator pads are touching each other or are open and exposed.
Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury. Do not touch the patient during defibrillation.
Disconnect the pads connector from the FR3 before using any other defibrillator.
Before delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from other medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may not incorporate defibrillation protections. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with metal objects such as a bedframe or stretcher.
For patient safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency heart rhythms may not be interpreted by the FR3 as shockable VF rhythms. Also, some VT rhythms may not be interpreted as shockable rhythms.
CPR rates significantly above 100 compressions per minute can cause incorrect or delayed analysis by the FR3. Under certain circumstances, this may result in a prompt to stop all motion so that the device can confirm rhythm analysis.
Do not allow the defibrillator pads to touch each other or other ECG electrodes, lead wires, dressings, transdermal patches, or metal parts that are in contact with the patient such as a bedframe or stretcher. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during defibrillation and may also divert the defibrillation current away from the heart.
Prolonged or aggressive CPR to a patient with defibrillator pads attached can damage the pads. Replace the defibrillator pads if they are damaged during use or handling. Poor electrode pad-to-patient contact may result in a related defibrillator prompt or other indication. Check all electrical and patient connections.
During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillator pads can cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillator pads completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried out pads.
Do not immerse any portion of the FR3 in water or other fluids. Do not let fluids get into the FR3. Avoid spilling any fluids on the FR3 or its accessories. Spilling fluids into the FR3 may damage it or cause a fire or shock hazard. Do not sterilize the FR3 or its accessories.
Alteration of the factory default setup of the FR3 can affect its performance and should be performed under the authorization of your Medical Director. Modifications to device operation resulting from changes to the default settings should be specifically covered in user training.
Hazardous electrical output. The FR3 is for use only by qualified personnel.
The FR3 is designed to be used only with Philips-approved accessories. The FR3 may perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
Use only Philips-approved FR3 data cards. The FR3 may record improperly if a non-approved data card is used. Install a blank FR3 data card after each use to avoid loss of data.
