HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
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 user s in
cardiopulmonary resuscit ation (CPR) and defibrillator us e. 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
on-line at www.medical.philips.com/heartstart, for information about
training programs in your area.
NOTE: Training accessories are available from Philip s for
practicing use of the FRx. See Appendix A for information on
