IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are
directly related to how soon victims are defibrillated. For every minute of
delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%.
Defibrillation cannot assure survival, no matter how rapid the treatment. In
some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply
not survivable despite any available care.

HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
1 Introduction to the HeartStart FRx
Description
The Philips HeartStart FRx Defibrillator 861304 (“FRx”) is an
automated external defibrillator (AED). Small, lightweight, rugged,
and battery powered, it is designed for simple and reliable operation
by minimally trained users. The FRx is highly configurable for local
*
protocol considerations.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
The FRx is used to treat ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most
common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA is a condition
that occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops pumping. SCA can
occur to anyone – young or old, male or female – anywhere, at any
time. Many victims of SCA do not have warning signs or symptoms.
Some people may have a higher risk for SCA than others. Causes
vary and may be different for infants and children than for adults.
VF is a chaotic quivering of the heart muscle that prevents it from
pumping blood. The only effective treatment for VF is
defibrillation.The FRx treats VF by sending a shock across the heart,
so it can start beating regularly again. Unless this is successful within
the first few minutes after the heart stops beating, the victim is not
likely to survive.
* Configurability includes timing of the “Call Emergency Medical Services”
reminder, CPR protocol variations, and other features. See Appendix F,
“Configuration,” for details.
1
2
Indications for Use
The FRx should be used to treat someone you think may be a victim
of SCA. A person in SCA:
•
•
does not respond when shaken, and
is not breathing normally.
If in doubt, apply the pads. Follow the voice instructions for each
step in using the defibrillator.
Training and practice
The FRx is intended to be used under the oversight of a physician as
part of a well-designed emergency response plan. Any emergency
response plan should provide for training of FRx users in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator use. Philips
recommends that you train on the device you will be using.
Several national and local organizations offer combined CPR/
defibrillator training. Contact your Philips representative, or visit us
training programs in your area.
NOTE: Training accessories are available from Philips for
practicing use of the FRx. See Appendix A for information on
ordering accessories.
State and local requirements
Check with your state health department to see if there are any local
or state requirements about owning and using a defibrillator.

† The FRx sold for aviation applications includes a TSO-certified battery,
REF: 989803139301, instead of the M5070A.
4
IMPORTANT NOTE: The FRx is designed to be used with a carry
case. A number of carry cases are offered to meet the needs of
your individual defibrillation program. These include a standard
carry case and a hard-shell carry case. See Appendix A for
information about these as well as a list of training materials and
other accessories available from Philips.
Setting up the FRx
Setting up the FRx is simple and quick.
*
1. Open the SMART Pads II package and take out the Pads Case
(A). Do not open the pads case until you need to use the pads in an
emergency. Plug the pads cable connector into the connector
port on the FRx (B). Store the unopened Pads Case in the
pocket provided in the defibrillator carry case.
1A. Remove Pads
Case from packaging.
2. Open the battery package and remove
the battery. Place the bottom end (A)
of the battery into the bottom of the
compartment on the back of the FRx,
then firmly press down the top (latch)
end of the battery into the
compartment, until it clicks into place
2. Insert battery in FRx.
(B).
3. Set the FRx and the Pads Case on a flat surface and let the FRx
run its automatic battery insertion self-test. Testing the Shock
button and the On/Off button is part of the self-test. The FRx
will say “shock button test” and then instruct you to push the
Shock button. It will then say “On/Off button test” and instruct
you to push the On/Off button. Push the buttons when
1B. Plug in pads

instructed. When the self-test is over, the FRx will report the
results, then turn off and go to standby mode. The blinking green
*
Ready light shows the defibrillator is ready for use.
4. Place the Quick Reference Guide, a brief illustrated guide for
using the FRx to treat a victim of sudden cardiac arrest, in the
†
defibrillator carry case.
NOTE: Do not store anything in the defibrillator carry case that it
is not designed to accommodate. Store all objects in their
intended location in the case.
5. Store the FRx in accordance with your site’s emergency
response protocol. Typically, this will be in a high-traffic area that
is easy to access, convenient for checking the Ready light
periodically, and easy to hear the alarm chirp if the battery
power gets low or the defibrillator needs attention. Ideally, the
HeartStart should be stored near a telephone, so the Emergency
Response Team or Emergency Medical Services can be alerted as
fast as possible in the event of a possible SCA. Keep a spare
SMART Pads II cartridge and other accessories with the
defibrillator – in the carry case – for quick access when needed.
Be sure to store the defibrillator according to its specifications.
See Appendix E for details.
NOTE: Always store the FRx with a set of SMART Pads II
connected and a battery installed, so it will be ready to use.
* As long as a battery is installed and a set of SMART Pads II is connected, turning
the FRx “off” puts it into standby mode, which means that it is ready for use.
† Any of the carry case options has room for storing the Quick Reference Guide.
6
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.”

3 Using the HeartStart FRx
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to read the Reminders section at the
end of this chapter as well as the warnings and precautions in
Appendix D.
Overview
If you think someone is in SCA, act quickly and calmly. If someone else
is available, ask him or her to call for emergency medical assistance
while you get the FRx. If you are alone, follow these steps:
•
•
Call your emergency services provider.
Quickly get the FRx and bring it to the victim’s side. If there is
any delay in getting the defibrillator, check the patient and
perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if needed until the
FRx is available.
•
•
If the victim is an infant or child, see directions for treating
infants and children starting on page 10.
Check the immediate environment for flammable gases. Do not
use the FRx in the presence of flammable gases, such as an
oxygen tent. However, it is safe to use the FRx on someone
wearing an oxygen mask.
There are three basic steps to using the defibrillator to treat
someone who may be in sudden cardiac arrest:
1. Press the green On/Off button.
2. Follow the FRx’s voice instructions.
3. Press the flashing orange Shock button if instructed.
8
STEP 1: Press the green on/off button
Press the On/Off button
to turn on the FRx.
The FRx tells you to remove all
clothes from the person’s chest.
If necessary, rip or cut off the
clothing to bare the person’s
chest.
Press green On/Off
button.
STEP 2: Follow the FRx’s voice instructions
Remove the SMART Pads II case from the carry case. Clean and dry
the patient's skin, and, if necessary, clip or shave excessive chest hair
to ensure good pads contact with the bare skin.
Open the pads case as shown below. Peel off one pad.
Open Pads Case.
Peel one pad from case.
Pads placement is very important. The icons on the pads placement
diagram on the FRx front panel will be flashing, to help guide you.
Place the pad on the patient’s bare skin exactly as shown in the
following drawing. Press the adhesive portion of the pad down firmly.
Then repeat this with the other pad.
Pads icons flash.

STEP 3: Press the flashing orange Shock button if
instructed
As soon as the HeartStart FRx detects that the pads are
attached to the patient, the pads icons turn off. The FRx
begins analyzing the patient's heart rhythm. It tells you
that no one should be touching the patient, and the
Caution light begins flashing as a reminder.

10
If a shock is not needed:
The blue i-button comes on solid, to show that it is safe to touch the
patient. The FRx also tells you to perform CPR if needed. (If CPR is
not needed – for example, if the patient is moving or regaining
consciousness – follow your local protocol until emergency medical
personnel arrive.) Then the FRx invites you to press the flashing blue
i-button for CPR Coaching if desired.
i-button flashes.
For CPR Coaching:
Press the flashing blue i-button during the first 30 seconds
*
of the patient care pause to activate CPR Coaching.
(If the Infant/Child Key is inserted, the CPR Coaching
I-button
provided will be for infant/child CPR.) When the pause is
over, the defibrillator tells you to stop CPR, so it can analyze the
patient’s heart rhythm. The motion caused by CPR can interfere with
analysis, so be sure to stop all motion when instructed.
Treating infants and children
WARNING: Most cardiac arrests in children are not caused by
heart problems. When responding to cardiac arrest in an infant
or child:
• Provide infant/child CPR while a bystander calls EMS and brings
the FRx.
• If no bystander is available, provide 1-2 minutes of CPR before
calling EMS and retrieving the FRx.
• If you witnessed the child's collapse, call EMS immediately and
then get the FRx.
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.
* The default configuration for the FRx provides CPR Coaching when you press
the i-button in this situation; however, the default setting can be revised by your
Medical Director using Philips software available separately. See Appendix F for
more information.
HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
11
If the victim is under 55 pounds or 8 years old, and you have an
Infant/Child Key:
ꢀ
ꢁ
•
Insert the Infant/Child Key into the slot at the top center of the
front panel of the FRx (see illustration at left). The pink portion
of the Key pivots (1) and fits into the slot (2), with the front of
the Key lying flat on the surface of the FRx so the infant/child
pads placement diagram is visible. (The back of the Infant/Child
Key also has a diagram showing how to insert it.)
•
•
Turn on the FRx and follow instructions to remove all clothing
from the torso, to bare both the chest and the back.
Place the pads on the child’s front and back, as illustrated. It does
not matter which pad is placed on the chest or the back.
Insert the Infant/Child
Key if available.
NOTE: It does not matter whether you insert the Infant/Child
Key before or immediately after turning on the FRx. However, the
Key should be inserted before placing the pads on the patient.
With the Infant/Child Key inserted, the FRx will announce “Infant/
Child Mode,” automatically reduce the defibrillation energy from the
*
adult dose of 150 Joules to 50 Joules, and provide optional infant/
child CPR Coaching.
If the Infant/Child Key is removed during use, the FRx will announce
“Adult Mode.” Any shocks delivered will be at adult energy, and
optional CPR Coaching will be for adult CPR.
* This lower energy level may not be effective for treating an adult.
12
If the victim is under 55 pounds or 8 years old, but you do NOT have an
Infant/Child Key:
•
•
DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.
Turn on the FRx and follow instructions to remove all clothing
from the torso, to bare both the chest and the back.
•
Place the one pad in the center of the chest between the nipples,
and the other in the center of the back (anterior-posterior).
If the victim is over 55 pounds or 8 years old, or if you are not sure of the
exact weight or age:
•
•
DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.
Turn on the FRx without inserting the Key and follow
instructions to remove all clothing from the chest.
•
Place the pads as illustrated on each pad (anterior-anterior).
Make sure the pads do not overlap or touch each other.
When emergency medical services arrive
When Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel arrive to care
for the patient, they may decide to apply another defibrillator to
allow monitoring of the patient. Depending on their equipment, the
EMS team may apply different pads. In that case, the SMART Pads II
should be removed. EMS personnel may want a summary of the
*
last-use data stored in the FRx. To hear the summary data, hold
down the i-button until the FRx beeps.
NOTE: After the EMS team removes the SMART Pads II from the
patient, remove the Infant/Child Key, if used, and install a new
pads set before returning the FRx to service, to be sure it is ready
for use.
* See Chapter 4, “After Using the HeartStart FRx,” for details about data storage.
HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
13
Reminders
• Remove any medicine patches and residual adhesive from the
patient’s chest before applying the pads.
• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted pacemaker or
defibrillator. A noticeable lump with a surgical scar should
indicate the position of an implanted device.
• Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal
parts that are in contact with the patient.
• If the pads do not stick well, check that the pads adhesive has not
dried out. Each pad has a layer of adhesive gel. If the gel is not
sticky to the touch, replace the pads with a new set. (For ease of
handling, the pad is designed with a non-gel area around the
connector cable.)
• Keep the patient still and keep any movement around the patient
to a minimum during rhythm analysis. Do not touch the patient
or the pads while the Caution light is on solid or flashing. If the
FRx is unable to analyze due to electrical “noise” (artifact), it will
tell you to stop all movement and remind you not to touch the
patient. If the artifact continues for more than 30 seconds, the
FRx will pause briefly to allow you to deal with the source of the
noise, then resume analysis.
• The FRx will only deliver a shock if the flashing orange Shock
button is pressed when the instruction is given. If the Shock
button is not pressed within 30 seconds after the instruction, the
FRx will disarm itself, and (for the first CPR interval) give a
reminder to make sure emergency medical services have been
called, then begin a CPR interval. This is designed to minimize
interruption of CPR and help ensure ongoing patient support.
• While waiting for you to press the Shock button, the FRx will
continue to analyze the heart rhythm. If the patient’s rhythm
changes before you press the Shock button, and a shock is no
longer needed, the defibrillator will disarm and tell you a shock is
not advised.
• If for any reason you want to turn off the defibrillator during a
use, you can press the On/Off button – holding it down for at
least one second – to return the device to standby mode.
14
4 After using the HeartStart FRx
After each use
1. Check the outside of the FRx for signs of damage, dirt, or
contamination. If you see signs of damage, contact Philips for
technical support. If the defibrillator is dirty or contaminated,
clean it according to the guidelines in Chapter 5, “Maintaining the
HeartStart FRx.”
2. Plug the cable connector for a new set of SMART Pads II into the
FRx (do not open the pads case). Check supplies and accessories
for damage and expiration dates. Replace any used, damaged or
expired items. For directions on changing the pads and replacing
the battery, please see Chapter 2, “Setting Up the HeartStart
FRx.” The single-use pads must be replaced after being used.
3. Unless your protocol requires that the battery remain installed,
remove the battery for five seconds, then reinstall it to run the
battery insertion self-test to check the operation of the
*
defibrillator. When the test is complete, check that the green
Ready light is blinking.
4. Return the FRx to its storage location so it will be ready for use
when needed.
* If you leave the battery in the FRx after using the defibrillator, then transfer the
last-use data to a computer running HeartStart Event Review software, the
software will calculate the local date and time of the device use. However, if you
remove the battery prior to transferring the data, the software will only show
elapsed time.
HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
15
FRx data storage
The FRx automatically stores data about its last clinical use in its
internal memory. The stored data can be conveniently transferred to
a personal computer or a handheld computer running the
appropriate application in the Philips HeartStart Event Review data
management software suite. Event Review software is for use by
trained personnel only. Information about HeartStart Event Review
Follow your local protocol with regard to prompt data transfer for
*
medical review after using the FRx. Details about data transfer and
timing are provided in Event Review documentation.
The information automatically stored by the FRx includes a summary
of last-use data and detailed data about its last clinical use. You can
get a voice summary of information about the last use of the
defibrillator by holding the i-button down until it beeps once. The
FRx will tell you how many shocks were delivered and how long it
has been since it was turned on. Summary data are available anytime
the defibrillator is ready for use (the battery and pads are installed,
and the defibrillator is not turned on) or while it is actually in use.
Removing the battery erases the summary data for the last use.
Last-use data stored in internal memory include:
•
ECG recordings (a maximum of 15 minutes following pads
application )
†
* The FRx automatically stores information about its last clinical use in its internal
memory for at least 30 days, so the data can be downloaded to a computer
running appropriate Event Review software. (If the battery is removed during
this period, the defibrillator retains the files. When the battery is reinstalled,
the last-use ECG recording will be kept in defibrillator memory for an additional
30 days.) After this time, the last-use ECG recordings will automatically be
erased to prepare for a future use.
† If ECG recordings from a previous use have not been erased, the maximum time
for new ECG recordings may be less.

5 Maintaining the HeartStart FRx
Routine maintenance
The FRx is very simple to maintain. The defibrillator performs a
self-test every day. In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run
whenever a battery is installed in the device. The defibrillator’s
extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for any
manual calibration.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the FRx, remove
its covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable
components in the FRx. If repair is required, return the FRx to an
authorized service center.
Reminders:
• Do not leave the defibrillator without a set of pads connected;
the defibrillator will start chirping and the i-button will start
flashing.
• Do not store the FRx with the Infant/Child Key installed.
• The FRx runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is
blinking, it is NOT necessary to test the defibrillator by initiating
a battery insertion self-test. This uses battery power and risks
draining the battery prematurely.
HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
17
Periodic checks
Other than the checks recommended after each use of the FRx,
maintenance is limited to periodically checking the following:
•
Check the green Ready light. If the green Ready light is not
blinking, see Troubleshooting Tips, below.
•
•
Replace any used, damaged or expired supplies and accessories.
Check the outside of the defibrillator. If you see cracks or other
signs of damage, contact Philips for technical support.
Cleaning the FRx
The outside of the HeartStart FRx can be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened in soapy water, chlorine bleach (2 tablespoons per quart
or liter of water), ammonia-based cleaners, or 70% isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol. It is recommended that the carry case be cleaned
with a soft cloth dampened in soapy water.
Reminders:
• Do not use strong solvents such as acetone or acetone-based
cleaners, abrasive materials, or enzymatic cleaners to clean the
FRx and accessories.
• Do not immerse the FRx in fluids. Do not sterilize the FRx or its
accessories.
Disposing of the FRx
The FRx and its accessories should be disposed of in accordance
with local regulations.
18
Troubleshooting tips
The FRx’s green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the
defibrillator is ready for use.
•
If the Ready light is blinking: The FRx has passed the battery
insertion self-test and the last periodic self-test and is therefore
ready for use.
•
•
If the Ready light is solid: The FRx is in use or running a self-test.
If the Ready light is off, the FRx is chirping, and the i-button is
flashing: A self-test error has occurred, there is a problem with
the pads, the Infant/Child Key has been left installed, or the
battery power is low. Press the i-button for instructions.
•
If the Ready light is off but the FRx is not chirping and the
i-button is not flashing: there is no battery inserted, the battery is
depleted, or the defibrillator needs repair. Insert/replace battery
and run the self-test. As long as the FRx passes the self-test, you
can be assured it is ready for use.
More detailed testing and troubleshooting information is available in
Appendix G.

Glossary of terms
The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the Philips
HeartStart FRx Defibrillator 861304 and its use.
AED
Automated external defibrillator (a semi-automatic defibrillator).
AED mode
The standard treatment mode for the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator. It provides
voice instructions guiding the rescuer through applying the adhesive pads, waiting
for rhythm analysis, and delivering a shock if needed.
analysis
arrhythmia
artifact
See “SMART analysis.”
An unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart.
Electrical “noise” caused by sources such as muscle movements, CPR, patient
transport, or static electricity that may interfere with rhythm analysis.
battery
Caution light
configuration
The sealed lithium manganese dioxide battery used to power the HeartStart FRx
Defibrillator. It is provided in a pack that fits into a compartment on the back of
the defibrillator.
A light on the front of the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator that flashes during rhythm
analysis and is on solid when a shock is advised, as a reminder not to touch the
patient
The settings for all operating options of the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator, including
treatment protocol. The factory default configuration can be modified by
authorized personnel using HeartStart Event Review software.
CPR
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A technique for providing artificial respiration and
heart compressions.
CPR Coaching
Basic verbal instructions for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including
hand placement, rescue breathing, compression depth and timing, provided by the
FRx when the flashing blue i-button is pressed during the first 30 seconds of a
patient care pause.
defibrillation
ECG
Termination of cardiac fibrillation by applying electrical energy.
Electrocardiogram, a record of the electrical rhythm of the heart as detected
through defibrillation pads.
fibrillation
A disturbance of the normal heart rhythm that results in chaotic, disorganized
activity that cannot effectively pump blood. Ventricular fibrillation (fibrillation in
the lower chambers of the heart) is associated with sudden cardiac arrest.
24
HeartStart Event Review
A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to
review and analyze FRx Defibrillator patient use and by authorized personnel to
alter FRx configuration. Information is available from Philips Medical Systems on
i-button
A blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator. If the
i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the
FRx provides CPR Coaching;* if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing and the
FRx is chirping, the FRx provides troubleshooting guidance. At other times, if the
i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the FRx provides summary
information about its last clinical use and device status. When the i-button is on
solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely touch the patient.
Infant/Child Key
A “key” recommended for use when defibrillating a potential SCA victim under
55 pounds or 8 years old. When inserted into a dedicated slot on the FRx’s front
panel, the Infant/Child Key illustrates correct pads placement, with lighted icons,
on these young victims. With the Infant/Child Key inserted, the HeartStart FRx
automatically reduces the energy of any shock delivered to 50 J and provides CPR
Coaching, if selected, appropriate for infants and children.
infrared (IR)
communications
A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It is
used to transmit information between the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator and a
computer running HeartStart Event Review software.
NSA
“No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator that a
shock is not needed, based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
NSA pause
A pause provided by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator following an No Shock
Advised (NSA) decision. The pause can be configured to a “standard” NSA pause
or a “SMART” NSA pause. During a standard NSA pause the defibrillator
performs no background monitoring of patient rhythm. During a SMART NSA
pause, the defibrillator conducts background monitoring and, if it detects an
artifact-free shockable rhythm, will exit the pause and begin rhythm analysis. If the
HeartStart FRx detects artifact such as that created by CPR, or if the user presses
the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator will
not exit the pause for rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be completed
uninterrupted.
non-shockable rhythm
A heart rhythm that the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator determines is not
appropriate for defibrillation.
* Pressing the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause turns off
background monitoring.

Defibrillator when it is in its standby mode. The tests monitor many key functions
and parameters of the defibrillator, including battery capacity, pads readiness, and
the state of its internal circuitry.
protocol
A sequence of operations performed by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator to direct
patient care in the AED mode.
protocol pause
A period provided by the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator after a shock series, during
which the responder can administer CPR. The defibrillator does not conduct
background monitoring of the patient’s heart rhythm during this pause.
Quick Shock

Warnings and Precautions
It is important to understand how to use your HeartStart FRx Defibrillator safely.
Please read these warnings and precautions carefully.
A warning describes something that could cause serious personal injury or death.
A precaution describes something that could cause minor personal injury,
damage to the FRx, loss of data stored in the FRx, or less chance of successful
defibrillation.
NOTE: The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator is designed to be used only with
Philips-approved accessories. The FRx may perform improperly if non-
approved accessories are used.
Warnings
flammable gases
If the FRx is used to give a shock in the presence of flammable gases such as in an
oxygen tent, there is a risk of explosion. Move supplemental oxygen and oxygen
delivery devices away from the defibrillation pads. (However, it is safe to use the
FRx on someone wearing an oxygen mask.)
battery
fluids
The HeartStart M5070A and 989803139301 batteries are not rechargeable. Do
not try to recharge, open, crush, or burn the battery, or it may explode or catch
fire.
Do not let fluids to get into the FRx. Avoid spilling any fluids on the FRx or its
accessories. Spilling fluids into the FRx may damage it or cause a fire or shock
hazard. Do not sterilize the FRx or its accessories.
accessories
Using damaged or expired equipment or accessories may cause the HeartStart
FRx Defibrillator to perform improperly, and/or injure the victim or the user.
patient handling
Performing CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient while the FRx is
analyzing heart rhythm can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. If the FRx tells
you a shock is advised while you are handling or moving the patient, stop the
vehicle or CPR and keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds. This
will give the FRx time to reconfirm the analysis before telling you to press the
Shock button.
cell phones
The FRx can work correctly when it is fairly close to equipment like emergency
two-way radios and cell phones. Normally, using a cell phone near the patient
should not cause a problem for the FRx. However, it is best to keep such
equipment only as close as necessary to the patient and the FRx.
32
pads
Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that are in
contact with the patient.
Precautions
device handling
The FRx was designed to be sturdy and reliable for many different use conditions.
However, handling the FRx too roughly can damage it or its accessories and will
invalidate the warranty. Check the FRx and accessories regularly for damage,
according to directions.
maintenance
skin burns
Improper maintenance may damage the FRx or cause it to function improperly.
Maintain the FRx according to directions.
Do not let the pads touch each other or other electrodes, lead wires, dressings,
medicine patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and skin burns
during a shock and may also divert the electrical current away from the patient’s
heart. During a shock, air pockets between the skin and pads can cause skin burns.
To help prevent air pockets, make sure pads stick well to the skin. Do not use
dried out pads because they will not provide good contact with the skin.
patient handling
Before delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from other
medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may not incorporate
defibrillation protection. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with
metal objects such as a bed frame or stretcher.

function Evaluates impedance of adhesive pads for proper contact with patient skin, and
evaluates the ECG rhythm and signal quality to determine if a shock is
appropriate.
shockable rhythms Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and some ventricular tachycardias, including
ventricular flutter and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The
HeartStart FRx Defibrillator uses multiple parameters to determine if a rhythm
is shockable.
NOTE: Some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms may not be interpreted as
shockable VF rhythms. Also, for safety reasons, some VT rhythms often associated with
circulation may not be interpreted as shockable rhythms.
non-shockable rhythms On detection of any non-shockable rhythm, prompts user to perform CPR if
needed.
pacemaker detection Pacemaker artifact is removed from the signal for rhythm analysis.
artifact detection If electrical “noise” (artifact) is detected that interferes with accurate rhythm
analysis, analysis will be delayed until the ECG signal is clean.

Testing and troubleshooting
Testing
The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator automatically tests its battery, connected SMART
Pads II, and internal circuitry every day. It alerts you if it finds a problem. See the
for a detailed discussion of the self-tests.
You can also test the defibrillator at any time by removing the battery for five
seconds then reinstalling it. This test takes about one minute. Because the battery
insertion self-test is very detailed and uses battery power, running it more often
than necessary will drain the battery prematurely. It is recommended that you run
the battery insertion self-test only:
•
•
•
•
when the defibrillator is first put into service.
after each time the defibrillator is used to treat a patient.
when the battery is replaced.
when the defibrillator may have been damaged.
Note: If the FRx turns off when you install the battery instead of running the
battery insertion self-test, check to be sure that the pads case is not open. If
the pads case is open, the FRx assumes that it may be in use and so will not run
the self-test.
If you need to use the defibrillator to treat a victim of SCA while you are running a
battery self-test, press the On/Off button to stop the test and turn on the
HeartStart FRx for use.
Troubleshooting
The FRx’s green Ready light is the signal that tells you if the defibrillator is ready
for use. The defibrillator chirps and the i-button flashes to alert you to a problem.
Recommended action when you need to use the device
If the FRx is chirping and the blue i-button is flashing, it is possible that the
defibrillator still has enough battery power to be used to treat a victim of SCA.
Press the On/Off button.
HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
47
If the FRx does not turn on when you press the On/Off button, remove the
battery and replace it with a new battery if available and press the On/Off button
to turn on the defibrillator. If no spare battery is available, remove the installed
battery for five seconds, then reinsert it and run a battery insertion self-test.
If the problem continues, do not use the defibrillator. Attend to the patient,
providing CPR if needed, until emergency medical personnel arrive.

equipment should be used no closer to

The recommended separation distances
for various transmitters and the AED
are shown in the following table.
Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
NOTE 1.At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2.These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
a. Generally, AEDs are sometimes susceptible to interference generated by patient and/or responder motion in environments in which a high
static electric field is present (e.g., low humidity, synthetic carpets, etc.). As a safety measure, Philips AEDs incorporate a patented method
to sense possible corruption of the ECG signal by such interference and to respond by directing the user to stop all motion. In these cases,
it is important to minimize movement in the vicinity of the patient during rhythm analysis in order to ensure that the signal being analyzed
accurately reflects the patient’s underlying heart rhythm.
b. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13, 567 MHz;
26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
c. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment
due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the HeartStart FRx is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HeartStart FRx should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HeartStart.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the HeartStart FRx Defibrillator
The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator is intended for use in an electromagnetic
environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or
the user of the FRx can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the FRx as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m)
can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power
rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medial) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz;
13,553 MHz to 13, 567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
NOTE 3. An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the
ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the
likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into
patient areas.
NOTE 4. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
NOTE 5. Transmitters/antenna of this power-level are most likely mounted on an emergency vehicle chassis. The distances
cited here are for open field. For an external antenna, the separation distance is most likely shorter.

Shock cycle timing
The FRx’s Quick Shock feature allows it to deliver a shock within 8 seconds,
typical, following a CPR pause. From shock to shock, the FRx takes <20 seconds,
typical, including analysis. After 15 shocks, the FRx takes <30 seconds from
analyzing to ready-to-shock. After 200 shocks, the FRx takes <40 seconds from
initial power-on to ready-to-shock.
