Philips HeartStart FRx – Help Save A Life

For basic life support (BLS) trained responders, there’s nothing more important than saving lives. When the need arises, it is important to quickly and confidently assess many unknowns:

• What is the patient’s condition?
• What is the terrain like?
• What is the treatment protocol?

It is crucial that AEDs be close at hand, ready to go, designed to be easy to use, lightweight and rugged.

The HeartStart FRx defibrillator

• Is lightweight, rugged and reliable.
• Includes features to help guide the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest with easy setup, real-time metronome and clear, step-by-step voice commands paced to your actions.
• Provides CPR instructions for infants and children under 25 kg or 55 lbs or 8 years old, and adults and children over 25 kg or 55 lbs or greater than 8 years old.
• Has an optional Infant/Child Key; simply insert it and the defibrillator adjusts instruction and therapy eliminating the need for additional infant/child pads.
• Includes pre-connected SMART Pads II that can be used for both adults and children; SMART Analysis automatically assesses heart rhythm and only delivers a shock if the victim’s rhythm is determined to be treatable by the Philips advanced algorithm, even if the Shock button is pressed.

• Performs a series of automatic self-tests, daily, weekly, and monthly to check pad readiness and verify functionality and calibration of circuits and systems.

Building on the successes of the other members of the HeartStart family of defibrillators, the FRx brings innovations to the treatment of SCA.

Built on a platform of proven ease-of-use

The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator was designed to be as easy to use as the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator and shares many of its features, including CPR Coaching and intuitive icon-driven operation. Although small and lightweight – just 3.5 pounds – the FRx is equipped to direct you through the resuscitation of a SCA victim. The HeartStart FRx guides you through every step with clear, calm voice commands and descriptive visual icons. The FRx even reminds you to call emergency medical services (EMS). Pressing the blue i-button activates HeartStart CPR Coaching for assistance with CPR.The flashing icons and the Quick Reference Guide can be used to lead you through the defibrillation steps – even in situations where hearing voice instructions is a challenge. Once EMS arrives, hand-off is fast and easy because the FRx is compatible with advanced defibrillators like the HeartStart MRx. With HeartStart adapters, our pads can be plugged into devices from other manufacturers to ensure continuity of care.
