Defibrillators are devices designed to apply an electrical charge to the heart to stop the life threatening disorganised activity of the heart called fibrillation. Defibrillators are basically divided into two groups, Automated and Manual. Automated Defibrillators are those used by First Responders and First Aiders who have undertaken a course in their use. Manual Defibrillators are generally only used by medical professionals who have a thorough understanding of the illnesses of the cardiovascular system and can easily recognise the various signs and symptoms using a variety of observation techniques including the ECG.
The FR2 semi-automatic external defibrillator is the ingenious, portable tool for people who get there first and would like a few more features than the HeartStart First Aid Defibrillator..
Incredibly Compact - This notebook-sized tool weighs about two kilograms and is exceptionally durable, built to withstand the rigors of tough weather and handling.
Innovative Biphasic Waveform Technology - FR2 delivers its lifesaving energy in a biphasic waveform, the same proven and preferred method used in implantable defibrillators. Like no other AED, the FR2 uses biphasic waveform technology to optimise the shape of the waveform for individuals of any size or weight.
Exceptionally Smart Technology - means extremely low maintenance. Long-life disposable lithium batteries require no maintenance and eliminate recharging hassles. Daily automatic self-tests check readiness for use, so you have confidence when it counts.

The HeartStart
FRx AED is designed to be the easiest defibrillator on the market. It
probably has the clearest verbal advice prompts thus far developed.
This unit gives prompts to carry the trained yet still very nervous life
saver right through the whole resuscitation procedure, from clearing
airways, to shocking the patient. Unlike all of the other
defibrillators the HeartStart FRX AED goes beyond JUST
giving the first aider prompts for the defibrillation procedure.
