 Overview | Related Product

The Heartstream FR2 is a portable, lightweight automated external defibrillator (AED) that requires minimal device training to use and is an essential part of administering first aid immediately to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. Due to its easy-to-use design, superior technology and affordability, Heartstream AEDs are now being placed in a wide range of settings such as hospitals and clinics, offices and industrial locations, airports and airplanes, health clubs and golf courses. This innovative AED technology has also enabled a broader range of people beyond community EMS professionals to provide lifesaving therapy.

The Heartstream FR2 AED operates with long-life maintenance-free, lithium manganese batteries, which are designed specifically for high-volume consumer applications, where safety and reliability are of the utmost importance. The Heartstream FR2 performs daily automated self-tests that check readiness for use. Other features include easy-to-follow voice prompts, and a bright LCD display to reinforce the voice prompts, making it easy to use in noisy or dark settings; the FR2 also has enhanced features that can be enabled for improved hand-off to advanced life support (ALS) responders. Additionally, the FR2 has on-board training capabilities when used with the fully rechargeable Training and Administration Pack. This allows users to safely train on the FR2 using realistic training scenarios.

The Heartstream FR2 AED incorporates a number of breakthrough technologies that distinguish it from other AEDs on the market, including the Philips' low-energy SMART Biphasic technology. Additionally, the SMART Analysis system automatically determines if a shock is required and protects against inappropriate delivery of a shock. This feature eliminates the need for the operator to be trained in reading and interpreting the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG).
