Smart CPR; Patient-specific treatment The HeartStart SMART CPR evaluates key characteristics of the presenting ventricular fibrillation and determines the initial therapy: shock first, or CPR first quickly followed by a shock. Easy hand-off; Allows continuity of patient care Advanced life support (ALS) trained professionals can easily switch the HeartStart FR2 to manual mode, giving them more decision-making control. An ECG display is also available for critical review. SMART Biphasic therapy; Safely delivers shock Philips SMART Biphasic therapy uses a unique combination of high current – to increase effectiveness and a low energy dose – to decrease side effects that are harmful to a fragile heart. Built-in self-test; Ready when needed Your HeartStart FR2 goes through a 120-point test before it leaves the factory. On the job, it conducts self-tests daily, not just weekly. It performs over 80 different tests, including pad integrity with visual & attention-getting audible alerts. Quick Shock feature; Reduces chest compressions CPR is even more vital to survival than previously realized. Rapidly delivering a shock after chest compressions is critical. The HeartStart FR2 ’s Quick Shock feature reduces the time between hands-off and shock delivery.
