Philips HeartStart
Rugged. Ready. Step by step.
The HeartStart FRx guides a trained responder through a sudden cardiac arrest with step-by-step voice prompts, a CPR metronome and lit buttons. SMART Pads II work on adults and children; inserting the optional Infant/Child Key switches the FRx to paediatric energy and instructions. Quick Shock typically delivers a shock about 8 seconds after a CPR interval. The 1.6 kg unit is IPX5 and IP5X rated, survives a 1.22 m drop and 500 kg of crush, and runs daily, weekly and monthly self-tests.

Coaching that keeps pace
Voice prompts, lit buttons and a CPR metronome are paced to the responder's actions, with separate guidance for adults and for infants and children.
One pad set, all ages
Pre-connected SMART Pads II work on adults and children. The optional Infant/Child Key switches energy to 50 J and changes the instructions.
Quick Shock
The FRx can typically deliver a shock about 8 seconds after the last compression of a CPR interval, keeping hands-off time short.
Built to be dropped
Rated IPX5 and IP5X, tested to a 1.22 m drop onto masonry and 500 kg of crush, and approved for aircraft use to RTCA DO-160D.
Low maintenance
Automatic daily, weekly and monthly self-tests check the circuits, battery and pad gel, and one battery typically lasts four years in standby.

Is the FRx still a Philips product?

Can it be used on children?

Will it cope with Gulf heat?
