Q: How do I perform a BIT on my current FR2+?
A: First, make sure the defibrillator pads and FR2+ ECG assessment module are disconnected from the FR2+. - Remove the battery, wait five seconds, then reinstall it. Allow selftest to run. The selftest includes an automatic part followed by an interactive part.
- During the automatic part of the selftest, the screen displays a bar that fills in as the test continues. When that part of the test is finished, the FR2+ beeps.
- If the automatic part of the selftest detects a problem, the screen displays a SELFTEST FAILED message and an error code, and Status Indicator shows a flashing or solid red X. Replace the battery with a new battery and repeat the test. If the second selftest fails, remove the FR2+ from service and contact Philips immediately.
- If the automatic part of the selftest passes, the screen displays a SELFTEST PASSED message and the interactive part of the test begins.
- The interactive part of the selftest requires you to respond to prompts in order to make sure the display, buttons, lights, and speaker on the FR2+ are working properly. Follow the prompts to complete the test.
- If something does not work correctly — for example, if lights do not come on or you do not hear beeps when expected — note the problem, remove the FR2+ from service, and contact Philips immediately.
- If the interactive part of the selftest passes, the FR2+ turns off and goes to standby mode to be ready for use. The FR2+ can remain in service until you receive your replacement device.
