The Philips HeartStart FRx AED provides real-time guidance via simple, step-by-step voice commands, an audible metronome and CPR guidance to help guide the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.
The HeartStart FRx AED is designed for users trained in BLS. The HeartStart FRx AED provides detailed guidance for BLS-trained users. Its voice prompts guides users through the process of exactly what to do.
To deliver a shock, users place the pads on bare skin as shown in the placement diagram.
The AED determines if a shock is needed and if so, prompts the user to press the orange shock button.
The voice commands repeat and rephrase if additional help is needed. It guides users through the appropriate number, rate, and depth of chest compressions, as well as how to perform rescue breaths.
Flashing icons and a reference guide is available for settings when the voice prompts are not able to be heard.
The HeartStart FRx AED features a unique Infant/Child Key that allows you to use the same pads for both adults and children. By inserting the key into the FRx, the defibrillator automatically adjusts the shock strength and adapts to provide pad placement and CPR instructions appropriate for children. The instructions also adapt to CPR instructions that are appropriate for an infant or child.
