Philips HeartStart FRx Automated External Defibrillator — Rugged AED with CPR Coaching & SMART Analysis

Philips HeartStart FRx price: ₹98,000 for a genuine Philips HeartStart FRx AED — an automated external defibrillator built for the moment an ordinary person becomes the first responder, rugged enough for outdoor, workplace, and industrial settings, and designed to guide anyone through treating sudden cardiac arrest with real-time voice instructions.

Designed for the ordinary person in an extraordinary moment, the HeartStart FRx pairs Philips’ SMART Biphasic shock technology with real-time, step-by-step voice guidance and an audible metronome for CPR pacing. Its patented Quick Shock feature typically delivers a shock within 8 seconds of CPR ending, minimizing the interruption between compressions and defibrillation — something studies show can matter for survival. At just 1.2–1.5kg, it’s among the lightest AEDs available, without compromising on ruggedness.

Who This Is Built For

Formal medical training isn’t required to use an AED in an emergency — that’s the entire point of the design. That said, organisations deploying an AED should still follow local guidance on placement, staff awareness, and any regulatory requirements that apply to public-access defibrillators in your setting.

SMART Analysis & SMART Biphasic Shock Technology

SMART Analysis automatically assesses the patient’s heart rhythm and is designed not to deliver a shock unless the rhythm is determined to be shockable — a built-in safeguard against inappropriate shocks. When a shock is warranted, SMART Biphasic therapy delivers an adult shock of 150J nominal (32A peak current into a 50-ohm load), adjusting waveform parameters to each patient’s individual impedance for a shock that’s both effective and gentler on the heart than older technologies.

Quick Shock — Minimizing the Gap After CPR

The patented Quick Shock feature typically delivers a shock within 8 seconds after CPR compressions stop, and cycles between shocks in a series in typically under 20 seconds — keeping interruptions to CPR as short as possible during a resuscitation attempt.

Intuitive, Step-by-Step Voice Guidance

Calm, clear voice instructions are precisely timed to the responder’s actions, with on-demand CPR Coaching and an audible metronome to help pace compressions correctly — designed to keep a stressed, untrained bystander moving through the right steps in the right order.

Built for Harsh, Real-World Settings

Rated IP55 (waterjet- and dust-protected per IEC 60529), the HeartStart FRx withstands loads up to 500kg (1,100 lbs) and drops from 1.2m (4ft) onto concrete, plus MIL-STD 810F-tested vibration resistance and an operating range of 0–50°C (32–122°F). This is a device meant to survive being stored in a vehicle, a factory floor, or a sports sideline, not just a clean office drawer.

Always Ready — Automatic Self-Testing

The FRx runs automatic self-tests daily, weekly, and monthly, checking pad readiness and verifying the calibration of its internal circuits and systems — making it close to maintenance-free, but still worth a visual check periodically as part of your organisation’s emergency-equipment routine.

Built-In Pediatric Mode

Insert the optional Infant/Child Key and the FRx automatically adjusts its voice guidance, pad placement instructions, and shock energy for a patient under 55 lbs (25kg) or 8 years old — reducing the shock to 50J nominal (19A peak current into a 50-ohm load). The same pre-connected SMART Pads II work for both adult and pediatric patients.

Maintenance

The FRx’s automatic self-tests handle most day-to-day checks, but pads and batteries both have expiration dates printed on them — track these and replace before they lapse, since an AED with expired pads or a dead battery can’t help in an emergency. Consider a compliance-tracking service or a simple calendar reminder for your organisation’s device.
