HeartStart FRx - Automated External Defibrillator
The HeartStart FRx defibrillator provides real-time guidance through clear, step-by-step voice prompts, a metronome and voice instructions for CPR, helping to support the treatment of suspected sudden cardiac arrest. With its simple setup, clear voice prompts and robust design, HeartStart FRx is designed for use by users trained in basic life support (BLS) techniques.

Resistant in the most challenging environments:
At the scene of an incident with law enforcement, at youth sporting events or in the workplace, the FRx defibrillator is the ideal solution to support treatment of suspected sudden cardiac arrest in challenging environments and conditions. Lightweight, robust and reliable, it can withstand various stresses, extreme temperatures, dust and humid environments.

Easy to use on children too:
The HeartStart FRx defibrillator has a pediatric key that allows the same electrodes used for adults to be used on children. Simply insert the key into the FRx defibrillator: it automatically adjusts the shock intensity and provides instructions on electrode placement and cardiopulmonary resuscitation specific to younger patients, in accordance with American Heart Association guidelines. All this without the need to use different electrodes.

Ready to use when needed, with minimal maintenance requirements:
The HeartStart FRx defibrillator is supplied virtually ready for rescue use. Everything is already connected and correctly positioned. Simply pull the green tab to start the self-test, which confirms that it is ready for use. After the initial start-up, FRx requires minimal maintenance. It performs a series of automatic tests, including daily, weekly and monthly self-tests, to check electrode availability as well as the functionality and calibration of its circuits and systems. The battery has a service life of up to four years.

Step-by-step instructions that explain exactly what to do:
The FRx defibrillator provides precise instructions. To deliver a shock, follow the electrode placement diagram and apply the electrodes to the patient's bare skin. The defibrillator checks whether a shock is needed and, if so, prompts you to press the orange Shock button. If necessary, the device repeats or rephrases the messages to make them easier to understand. Flashing icons and a reference guide are helpful in noisy environments.

Comprehensive CPR support for rescuers trained in basic life support techniques:
If guidance on performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation is needed, the FRx defibrillator provides voice instructions explaining what to do. It indicates the number, rate and depth of compressions, as well as how to perform rescue breaths, in accordance with the recommendations of the American Heart Association.² When the pediatric key is inserted, appropriate instructions are provided for performing CPR on pediatric patients.
