Step-by-Step Instructions
The FRx is designed for ease of use, with clear, step-by-step voice instructions guiding the user through the process.
Check the Victim: Ensure the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Call emergency services.
Turn On the AED: Open the carry case and press the green On/Off button. The device will immediately begin providing voice instructions.
Attach Pads: Bare the patient’s chest and back. Open the pre-connected Philips HeartStart SMART Pads II case and peel one pad from the liner. Place the pads on the patient exactly as shown in the pictures on the pads/icons.
Analyze Heart Rhythm: Once the pads are correctly placed, the device automatically begins analyzing the heart’s rhythm. Ensure no one is touching the patient during this step. The caution light will flash and then turn solid.
