AED

Automated External Defibrillator

To 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 environment 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.

More than half the victims of the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can survive when treated within 3-5 minutes of collapse with CPR and shock from a defibrillator.1

The Philips HeartStart FRx AED

 

  • Is lightweight, rugged and reliable

 

  • Includes features to help guide the treatment of SCA 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 (55 lb) or 0-8 years old, and adults and children over 25 kg (55 lb) 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

 

  • Has patented Quick Shock feature that allows the FRx to typically deliver a shock within eight seconds after CPR2

 

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

Expert guidance. Intuitive support.

The FRx makes training easy Simply insert the Training Pads II (available separately) to temporarily disable the FRx’s energy delivery capability and switch into training mode. Eight realistic SCA scenarios are designed to keep you and your team confident and prepared when the moment arises.

Easy as 1-2-3

Press the green On/Off button, which activates voice instruction and visual icons

Place the pads on the patient as directed.

When advised by the device, press the orange Shock button.

Designed to work where you need it.

Lightweight, rugged and reliable, the FRx can withstand rough handling, extreme temperatures, and dusty or wet surfaces. Designed for use in harsh settings, it can withstand up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) and drops from 1.2 m (4 ft).

Patented technology. Proven therapy.

Real-time, step-by-step voice commands paced to your actions, and an audible metronome and CPR guidance assist the responder. When treating an infant or child, simply insert the optional Infant/Child Key and the FRx adjusts instructions and therapy.

Ease of use.

Pre-connected SMART Pads II can be used for both adults and children. Once installed and activated, the FRx is easy to maintain. It performs a series of automatic self-tests daily, weekly and monthly to check pad readiness and verify functionality and calibration of circuits and systems. It can last up to four years between battery replacements.

Patient analysis system

Patient analysis

Evaluates patient ECG to determine if a rhythm is shockable. Rhythms considered shockable are ventricular fibrillation (VF) and certain ventricular tachycardias (VT) associated with lack of circulation. For safety reasons, some VT rhythms associated with circulation will not be interpreted as shockable, and some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms will not be interpreted as shockable VF.

Meets AAMI DF80 guidelines and AHA recommendations for adult defibrillation

Shock advised

Able to deliver a shock as soon as the device indicates a shock is advised

Quick Shock

Able to deliver a shock after the last chest compression of a CPR interval, typically in 8 seconds

Shock-to-shock cycle time

Typically less than 20 seconds between shocks in a series

Artifact Detection

Allows ECG analysis even in the presence of most pacemaker artifact and electrical noise sources; other artifacts are detected and corrective voice prompts issued
