Philips Heartstart FRx Defibrillator SMART Electrode Pads II

The Philips FRx Adult Pads are covered in protective packaging. There are clear diagrams on the packaging of where the pads should be placed on the casualty. Along with using these diagrams, responders should follow the step-by-step instructions given by the defibrillator when delivering treatment to someone in sudden cardiac arrest. 

The pads have a shelf-life of two years; if they are not used in that time, they will expire. Pads should be stored in accordance with the user manual to ensure they are kept in good condition. Owners should store the pads in a safe and dry location, between 0 and 50 degrees. The protective packaging also helps keep the pads safe from potential damage. 

The Philips FRx Adult Pads are designed to be pre-connected to the defibrillator to ensure they are ready to use in a medical emergency. When responding to a sudden cardiac arrest, time is of the essence; having the pads connected will reduce time waste. 

The Philips FRx Adult Pads should be used alongside the Philips HeartStart FRx Defibrillator. The Philips HeartStart FRx defibrillator includes simple, step-by-step audio prompts, CPR coaching, and a built-in metronome. The pre-connected pads can be used on both adults and children. The defibrillator is durable and compact, able to be quickly transported in an emergency. 

Responders need only two pads when delivering life-saving treatment to someone in sudden cardiac arrest. However, it is recommended that defibrillator owners always have a spare pair of pads. A spare pair of Philips FRx Adult Pads will give you peace of mind knowing that you can quickly replace expired, used, or faulty pads. Pads are single-use only, meaning that once they have been used to administer treatment, they cannot be used again.
