FRx Info
Philips HeartStart FRx
Defibrillator
For
those who get there first... the Philips
HeartStart FRx Defibrillator is designed to be
easy to use, rugged and reliable for those who
get there first. On the scene with law
enforcement, on the field with student athletes
or on the job with employees, the FRx
Defibrillator is the solution for treating
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) from ventricular
fibrillation in environments and conditions too
demanding for many other defibrillators.
The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator
carries innovation in its genes. Building on the
successes of the other members of the HeartStart
family of defibrillators, the FRx brings
innovations to the treatment of SCA.
SMART
Technology, only from Philips
At
the core of all HeartStart Defibrillators
is SMART Biphasic technology. The HeartStart FRx
Defibrillator’s biphasic waveform delivers a
highly effective defibrillation shock that is
also gentle to the heart. No other external
defibrillation therapy has been supported by
more published clinical data.
SMART Analysis,
a proven Philips technology for heart rhythm
assessment, ensures that FRx Defibrillator only
shocks when it should. SMART Analysis
automatically assesses the victim’s heart rhythm
and is designed not to deliver a shock unless
the rhythm is determined to be shockable — even
if the shock button is pressed. What’s more,
SMART Pads II enable the FRx to keep pace with
the responder by adjusting to their actions.
Designed for real world use
The Philips HeartStart FRx
Defibrillator is exceptionally rugged. Designed
to surpass rigorous testing requirements, the
FRx withstands jetting water, loads up to 500
pounds and a one-meter drop onto concrete.
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 guide 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.
Providing a complete, reliable
solution
Reliability backed
by Philips
The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator
is powered by an easy to install, long-life
(four-year) battery, so you know the device is
charged and ready. The device's automated daily,
weekly and monthly self-tests check the pads
readiness, and verify functionality and
calibration of circuits and systems. With over
85 tests, the FRx is one of the most
comprehensive self-testing devices on the market
and is virtually maintenance-free. The blinking
green “Ready” light on the defibrillator is your
assurance that the device is ready for use.
