What Makes the HeartStart FRx Different

Military-Grade Durability (IP55 Rated)
The FRx is built to military standards with IP55 dust and water resistance, drop-tested durability, and extreme temperature tolerance. It thrives in construction sites, police cruisers, factories, marine environments, and outdoor settings that would damage other AEDs.

Infant/Child Key for Pediatric Rescues

Pre-Connected SMART Pads III
Rugged, weather-resistant pads come pre-connected and ready to deploy. The FRx uses universal adult pads that work with the infant/child key—eliminating the need to stock separate pediatric electrodes.

Clear Voice Instructions
Calm, step-by-step voice prompts guide rescuers through pad placement, CPR timing, and shock delivery—ensuring even first-time users can respond effectively.

Quick Shock Technology
Fast rhythm analysis and shock delivery minimize pauses in CPR, improving defibrillation success rates and patient outcomes.
