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:
• Unresponsiveness
• Absence of normal breathing
If in doubt, apply the pads, as illustrated.
The FR3 is intended for use on adults and
children over 55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old.
The FR3 is also intended for children under
55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old when used
with the optional FR3 Infant/Child Key. 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 USER

The 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 CONFIGURATION

The 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.
• Changing the FR3 device operation, self-test options, patient care, defibrillation, and advanced use mode
parameter settings: the HeartStart Configure software, available separately.
• Enabling the FR3 bilingual option and selecting a secondary language: the HeartStart Configure
software and the FR3 language card.
