Philips HeartStart FRx AED

When emergencies happen in challenging conditions, you need an AED that's as tough as the environment. The Philips HeartStart FRx AED is a military-grade automated external defibrillator engineered for first responders, athletic teams, construction sites, and any location where durability matters as much as performance.

Unlike standard AEDs designed for climate-controlled offices, the FRx defibrillator thrives in extreme conditions. With an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance and an operating temperature range from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C), this rugged AED performs reliably whether you're on a muddy sports field, a dusty construction site, or responding to emergencies in harsh weather.

What makes the Philips FRx AED truly exceptional is its pre-connected SMART Pads II that eliminate setup confusion during critical moments, and the innovative Infant/Child Key that instantly converts the device for pediatric use without changing pads. Combined with intuitive CPR coaching and clear voice instructions, the FRx ensures confident, effective response from both trained professionals and first-time users.

Trusted by police departments, fire services, athletic organizations, and industrial safety teams worldwide, the HeartStart FRx AED delivers proven SMART Biphasic therapy with the reliability and durability demanded by professionals who can't afford equipment failure when lives are on the line.
