The Heartstart FRx defibrillator was designed for real world rescues. Its user-friendly, dependable and rugged design will help any rescuers responding to emergencies.
The Heartstart FRx is more than a defibrillator. It also assists the rescuer in providing optimal CPR, which is a vital part of helping the patient survive. Lay responders may panic in an emergency, but with on-demand CPR coaching they will be able to confidently perform the life saving steps. Clear voice instructions guide the rescuer through the appropriate number, depth, and rate of chest compressions. The audio prompts also direct the rescuer when and how long to administer rescue breathing.
The more time elapsed between chest compressions and defibrillation, the lower the chances of survival for the patient. The Quick Shock feature enables the rescuer to administer a defibrillation shock in a mere 8 seconds. With Quick Shock, you can provide a shock two to three times faster than other defibrillators — and those extra seconds might make the difference between a successful rescue and a patient who doesn’t survive.
In addition, with Philips’ high current/low energy SMART Biphasic waveform, effective defibrillation shocks are still gentle on fragile hearts. So the Heartstart FRx defibrillator can deliver its most powerful therapy from the very first shock. You don’t have to take our word for it… more than 40 scientific studies have proven the effectiveness of the shocks provided by the Heartstart FRx.
The Infant/Child key sets a new standard for simplicity in defibrilators. One simple key activates voice instructions and settings that are suited for pediatric patients. You don’t even need to have different electrode pads for children and infants, because the Heartstart FRx will provide the appropriate pediatric defibrillation level when the Infant/Child key is activated.
The rugged design of the Heartstart FRx defibrillator will stand up to difficult conditions like shooting water, being crushed under a load of 500 pounds or dropped onto concrete from a height of one meter. Despite all its toughness, this easily transportable defibrillator weighs in at only 3.5 pounds, one of the smallest models available.
You can trust that your Heartstart FRx defibrillator will be ready for action when you need it. Every Heartstart FRx defibrillator must pass a rigorous 120 point factory test. It also automatically runs self-tests every single day. Overall, it performs a total of 85 different tests, even checking the electrode pads for readiness! For your part, it’s practically maintenance free.
