Philips FRx HeartStart Defibrillator
Description
The Philips HeartStart FRx Defibrillator is a rugged, reliable, and easy-to-use semi-automatic external defibrillator (AED) designed for first responders and public access, featuring intuitive voice instructions and adaptive therapy for both adult and child patients.
Core Features
- Intuitive Voice Guidance: The device provides clear, calm, step-by-step voice instructions (known as Life Guidance) that are paced to the user’s actions, guiding them through the entire rescue process, including pad placement and shock delivery.
- CPR Coaching: It includes voice coaching with an audible metronome to help responders provide chest compressions at the appropriate rate and depth, which is crucial for effective CPR.
- SMART Pads II: The pre-connected SMART Pads II can be used on both adults and children, eliminating the need to purchase separate pediatric pads. When the optional Infant/Child Key is inserted, the device automatically adjusts the voice instructions and reduces the shock energy to a level appropriate for a child victim (50 Joules nominal).
- Rugged Design: Built for use in demanding environments, the FRx is lightweight yet durable. It has an IP55 rating for protection against dust and jetting water and can withstand drops up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) and crushing forces of over 500 kg (1,100 lbs).
- Quick Shock Technology: This feature allows the FRx to typically deliver a shock within 8 seconds after the end of a CPR interval, minimizing interruptions to chest compressions and improving potential survival rates.
- SMART Analysis: The device’s intelligent sensors automatically assess the patient’s heart rhythm and will only advise or deliver a shock if a shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or certain ventricular tachycardias) is detected, ensuring safety and preventing accidental shocks.
- Automated Self-Tests: The FRx performs comprehensive daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests to check its internal circuitry, battery capacity, and pad readiness (including gel moisture), indicated by a blinking green “Ready” light.
- Long-Life Battery: The lithium manganese dioxide battery typically has a standby life of four years when installed and maintained correctly.
- Data Management: Event data, including the first 15 minutes of ECG and incident details, can be transmitted wirelessly via an infrared data port to a PC for review using optional software.

Features
The Philips HeartStart FRx is a rugged, semi-automatic automated external defibrillator (AED) known for its ease of use, durability, and ability to adapt to both adult and pediatric patients with a single set of pads.
Key Features
- Intuitive Voice Guidance & CPR Coaching: The device provides clear, calm, step-by-step voice instructions and visual icons to guide responders through the entire rescue process, including pad placement and CPR. An audible metronome helps maintain the correct rate for chest compressions.
- Rugged Design & High Durability: Built for use in harsh environments, the FRx has an IP55 rating, protecting it from dust and jetting water. It is drop-tested to 1.2 meters (4 feet) and can withstand heavy weights, such as up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs).
- SMART Pads II (Adult/Child Universal Pads): The pre-connected SMART Pads II can be used for both adults and children, eliminating the need to switch pads or buy separate sets.
- Infant/Child Key: By simply inserting an optional Infant/Child Key into the device, the FRx automatically adjusts the voice instructions for pad placement and reduces the shock energy level to 50 Joules, making it safe for children or infants weighing less than 55 pounds (25 kg) or under 8 years of age.
- Quick Shock Technology: This feature allows the FRx to typically deliver a shock within 8 seconds after the completion of a CPR interval, minimizing interruptions in chest compressions and potentially improving survival rates.
- SMART Analysis & SMART Biphasic Therapy: The device’s SMART Analysis technology automatically assesses the patient’s heart rhythm to determine if a shock is needed, preventing accidental shocks. The patented SMART Biphasic technology uses a high-current, low-energy waveform to provide an effective, yet gentle, shock to the heart.
- Automated Self-Tests: The FRx performs comprehensive daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests on its internal circuitry, battery capacity, and pads readiness to ensure it is always rescue-ready with minimal maintenance.
- Long-Life Battery and Warranty: The lithium manganese dioxide battery typically has a 4-year standby life, and the defibrillator unit itself comes with a standard 8-year manufacturer’s warranty.
