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.
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 patie nt.
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.
Insert the Infant/Child
Key if available.
