Philips HeartStart FRx Defibrillator- Semi-Automatic

The Philips HeartStart FRx AED Defibrillator is a rugged, reliable and easy-to-use Automated External Defibrillator (AED) designed for people who may be first to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest.

Built for demanding environments while remaining simple enough for everyday use, the HeartStart FRx provides clear voice instructions and step-by-step guidance throughout the rescue process. A metronome keeps the pace of CPR, whilst visual icons provide clear instructions.

HeartStart FRx AED’s are delivered with a Child Key that, when inserted, will change the guidance from the AED to be appropriate for a child casualty. No change of pads required!

Its durable construction makes it particularly suitable for workplaces, construction sites, warehouses, industrial facilities, sporting clubs, schools, emergency vehicles and community organisations where an AED may need to perform in challenging conditions.

Designed for Those Who Get There First

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and the first person on the scene may not be a medical professional.

The Philips HeartStart FRx has been designed to provide straightforward guidance during these critical first minutes. Clear voice prompts guide the responder through pad placement, CPR and shock delivery, helping them understand what to do at each stage of the rescue.

The FRx automatically analyses the patient’s heart rhythm and determines whether a shock is required. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the responder is instructed when to deliver the shock.

Its combination of simple operation, intelligent technology and rugged construction makes the FRx suitable for both trained first aiders and members of the public.

Rugged and Built for Demanding Environments

While many sudden cardiac arrests occur in everyday environments, emergencies can also happen outdoors, on worksites or in industrial locations.

The HeartStart FRx has been designed to operate in conditions where a more robust AED may be required.

Key durability features include:

• Designed for use in challenging environments
• Suitable for use in wet conditions
• Designed for use on metal surfaces
• Suitable for industrial and workplace environments
• Withstands loads of up to 250 kg
• Designed to withstand drops of up to 1 metre onto a concrete floor
• Resistant to jetting water

This makes the FRx particularly well suited to organisations that require an AED capable of handling more demanding conditions.

Reliable Philips HeartStart Technology

The HeartStart FRx builds on Philips’ extensive experience in Automated External Defibrillator technology.

It incorporates technology and features developed across the HeartStart family of AEDs, combining proven performance with improvements designed to support rescuers during critical emergencies.

The FRx provides intelligent heart rhythm analysis and will only advise a shock when the patient’s heart rhythm indicates that defibrillation is appropriate.

Always Ready When Needed

An AED may remain unused for months or even years, which makes automatic readiness checks particularly important.

The Philips HeartStart FRx performs comprehensive daily, weekly and monthly automatic self-tests to monitor the condition and operation of the device.

These self-tests include checks of important internal components as well as the connected electrode pads, helping ensure the AED is ready when an emergency occurs.

Virtually Maintenance-Free

The HeartStart FRx has been designed to require minimal ongoing maintenance.

Its internal self-testing system regularly checks vital functions, including the AED’s ability to charge and discharge energy.

A simple blinking green status indicator provides a quick visual confirmation that the device is ready for use. If the FRx detects an issue requiring attention, it provides an audible alert so the device can be inspected.

For most organisations, routine management consists primarily of visual inspections and replacing consumable items when required.

Typical consumable replacement intervals include:

• Battery: Up to 4 years in standby conditions
• SMART Pads II: Up to 2 years

Consumables should always be replaced according to their expiry dates and Philips’ recommendations.

Adult and Child Use

One of the advantages of the Philips HeartStart FRx is its ability to use the same SMART Pads II for both adults and children.

For infants and children, an optional Infant/Child Key can be inserted into the FRx. The device recognises the key and adjusts its operation appropriately for a paediatric rescue.

This eliminates the need to maintain a separate set of paediatric electrode pads and can make managing the AED easier for workplaces, schools, sporting clubs and community facilities.
