Philips HeartStart FRx SMART PADS II Features Guide
The Philips HeartStart FRx SMART PADS II are replacement electrode pads designed for the Philips HeartStart FRx AED. These dual-purpose pads work for both adult and pediatric patients when used with the separate Pediatric Key accessory.
This guide explores the key features that make these pads essential for maintaining your AED's emergency readiness.
Dual-Purpose Compatibility
These pads eliminate the need for separate adult and pediatric electrode sets. With the Philips Pediatric Key, they automatically adjust for children under 25kg or 8 years old.
- Reduces inventory requirements for mixed-age environments
- Saves costs by eliminating duplicate pad purchases
- Ensures readiness for any emergency scenario
- Compatible with existing FRx AED units
Pre-Connected Emergency Design
The integrated cable connection saves critical seconds during cardiac emergencies. No fumbling with separate connectors when every moment counts in a resuscitation effort.
- Eliminates connection delays during emergency response
- Reduces user error in high-stress situations
- Streamlines the rescue process for faster deployment
- Maintains secure electrical contact throughout use
Advanced Adhesive Performance
Medical-grade sticky gel ensures the pads stay firmly attached to the patient throughout the entire rescue sequence. Reliable adhesion enables effective shock delivery even during CPR compressions.
- Provides secure contact for optimal energy transfer
- Maintains position during chest compressions and movement
- Reduces risk of pad displacement during treatment
- Ensures consistent electrical conductivity throughout rescue
Protective Storage System
The semi-rigid case shields the pads from environmental damage while maintaining their sterile condition. Proper protection ensures the electrodes remain functional when needed most.
- Guards against dust and moisture contamination
- Prevents physical damage during storage and transport
- Maintains pad integrity until expiration date
- Enables safe storage in various environments
Visual Placement Guidance
Clear diagrams printed directly on each pad show proper positioning for effective defibrillation. Visual cues help responders place the electrodes correctly even under pressure.
- Guides proper pad placement for maximum effectiveness
- Reduces placement errors in emergency situations
- Helps non-medical users respond with confidence
- Ensures optimal shock delivery positioning every time
Extended Service Life
Two-year replacement intervals reduce maintenance frequency compared to shorter-lived alternatives. Extended lifespan lowers total ownership costs while maintaining emergency readiness.
