ECG Display for Ongoing Observation

At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the M3860A FR2+ with
ECG display enabled can also be used with the M3873A/M3874A FR2+
ECG assessment module. The FR2+ used with the FR2+ ECG assessment
module provides a non-diagnostic ECG display of the patient's heart rhythm
for attended patient monitoring. The system is intended for use on a
conscious or breathing patient, regardless of age. While connected to the
FR2+ ECG assessment module, the FR2+'s shock capability is disabled,
but the FR2+ continues to evaluate the patient's ECG. The module is
designed for connection to ECG electrodes per AAMI (M3873A) or IEC
(M3874A) color convention.
There are no known contraindications to use of the FR2+ ECG assessment
module.
The module's colored leadwires are connected to ECG electrodes, which
are then placed on the patient's bare chest, and the module's device
connector is inserted in the FR2+'s connector socket.
