HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
Recommended accessories
It is always a good idea to have a spare battery and a spare pads set.
Other things that are useful to keep with the FRx include:
• scissors — for cutting the victim’s clothes if needed
• disposable gloves — to protect the user
• a disposable razor — to shave the chest if hair prevents good
pads contact
• a pocket mask or face shield — to protect the user
• a towel or absorbent wipes — to dry the victim's skin for good
pads contact
Philips has a Fast Response Kit with all these items. See Appendix A
for details.
If you may need to defibrillate an infant or a child under 55 pounds
(25 kg) or 8 years old, it is recommended that you order the
Infant/Child Key accessory, available separately. When the
Infant/Child Key is inserted in the FRx, the FRx automatically
reduces the defibrillation energy to 50 joules and, if optional CPR
Coaching is selected, provides coaching appropriate for infants and
children. Directions for using the Infant/Child Key are provided in
Chapter 3, “Using the HeartStart FRx.”
See Appendix A for a list of accessories and training products for the
FRx available from Philips.
