To perform a self-test on the Philips HeartStart FR2+ M3861A defibrillator, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that neither the defibrillator pads nor the FR2+ ECG assessment module are connected to the device. 2. Insert the battery into the defibrillator. 3. The main menu will be displayed on the screen, and a two-part self-test will automatically run unless you make another selection from the menu within 10 seconds. 4. The self-test consists of an automatic part and an interactive part. 5. If the menu screen does not appear when the battery is inserted, it could be due to the defibrillator pads being attached to a patient, the FR2+ ECG assessment module being connected, or the battery being completely depleted. 6. To run the battery insertion self-test, remove and reinstall the battery. 7. The screen will indicate whether or not a data card is installed and display the remaining recording time on the card. 8. Use the lower Option button to navigate through the menu items and the upper Option button to select or scroll through the settings. 9. During the automatic part of the self-test, a bar will fill in on the screen to indicate the progress. 10. If the self-test detects a problem, a message will be displayed, and the Status Indicator will show a flashing or solid red X. 11. In such cases, replace the battery with a new one and repeat the self-test. If the second self-test also fails, contact Philips for technical support. Please note that these steps are provided as a general guide. For detailed instructions and specific troubleshooting scenarios, refer to the manual of the Philips HeartStart FR2+ M3861A defibrillator.
If the defibrillator pads do not adhere well to the patient's skin during use, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that the patient's skin is clean, dry, and free from any lotions, oils, or sweat. 2. Check the expiration date of the defibrillator pads. If they are expired, replace them with a new pair. 3. Verify that the defibrillator pads are properly positioned on the patient's chest according to the instructions provided in the manual. 4. Press firmly on the pads to ensure good contact with the skin. Apply sufficient pressure to ensure adhesion without causing discomfort to the patient. 5. If the pads still do not adhere well, try removing any hair or excessive moisture from the patient's chest using a dry cloth or towel. 6. Consider using an alternative pad placement location if the current location is not providing adequate adhesion. 7. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, replace the defibrillator pads with a new pair from a different package. 8. If the problem persists, contact Philips customer support for further assistance. Remember, ensuring proper adhesion of the defibrillator pads is crucial for effective delivery of the electrical shock during defibrillation.
