Description
Overview
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
Features
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

HeartStartEvent ReviewPro
software Data management
software (optional) for
download and review of data
retrieved through
defibrillator’s infrared data
port
Data stored First 15 minutes
of ECG and the entire
incident’s events and analysis
decisions
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.
Sensitivity/ specificity 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
