| 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.1 |
| 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. |
