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 SCA from
ventricular fibrillation in environments and conditions too demanding
for many other defibrillators.
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.
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.
