Laerdal FR2 AED
 

Heartstart FR2 provides emergency first responders with an effective means to treat victims in Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). This lightweight, rugged and easy-to-use Automated External Defibrillator (AED) allows first responders to deliver lifesaving therapy as soon as they arrive on the scene. Its patented SMART™ Biphasic waveform is the most patient-friendly technology available today.

The Heartstart FR2 is...

  • Small and Light...
    The FR2 weighs in at only 2.1 kg, and measures only 218 x 218 x 66 mm, so it is easy both to transport and store.

  • Easy to use...
    Instant response is critical. Both audible and visual prompts guide the user through the simple steps required.

  • Smart...
    Utilises clinically proven SMART™ Biphasic technology. Combined with SMART CPR™ analysis system, the FR2 provides safe and effective therapy for the individual patient.

Features:

  • Long life battery
    Minimum 300 shocks when new. Shelf life before installation and standby life after installation typically 5 years each.

  • Rechargeable training battery
    A cost efficient way to utilise the device for training

  • Backlit display
    Improves the quality of ECG and text prompts in conditions of direct sunlight and darkness

  • Selftest and status indicator
    Monitors readiness and clearly displays whether or not the device is operational

  • Easy and flexible configuration
    Allows extensive configuration possibilities, including treatment protocol in accordance with new ERC or AHA guidelines

  • Manual override
    (Model M3840A only) can be set on or off

 

Tool of the pros; simplicity for the lay responder.

The FR2+ has come to be a trusted tool of professional responders and designated response teams in the work place and public settings. Its clean, uncluttered design is optimized for fast, efficient operation and rapid delivery of life-saving therapy. Commands are clear, streamlined, confident, and concise: ideal for responders who are trained, drilled, and ready to save a life now.

 

The HeartStart FR2+ offers features that make hand-off to ALS professionals seamless for maximum continuity of care for the patient.

An optional ECG display is available. The FR2+ can be configured to allow ALS responders to switch to a manual mode, giving them more decision-making control. Defibrillator pad adapters enable the pads to remain on the patient when transferring to many popular ALS manual defibrillators from Philips and other manufacturers.

 

But don't be misled by its advanced capabilities.

The HeartStart FR2+ is extremely easy to use. Its design is based on years of research, refinement by Philips human factors experts and user testing with the full range of responders from healthcare professionals to lay people. In fact, hundreds of thousands of citizens are already trained and ready to save a life with the FR2+.

 

Optimized for challenging environments.

Because of its ruggedness and ability to stand up to temperature extremes and wet conditions, the HeartStart FR2+ is the right choice for harsh, outdoor, or mobile use. It combines natural sounding voice instructions that are loud and clear, with text prompts on a large, bright back-lit display. This makes it ideal if you anticipate its use in noisy or poorly lit settings. And at just 2.1 kg, it's incredibly small and light-weight so it won't weigh you down.

 

Infant/Child Defibrillation.

The FR2+ can treat patients of any age. When equipped with special infant/child defibrillator pads that reduce the energy of the FR2+'s shock, you can safely treat a child or infant in cardiac arrest.

 

Maintaining the FR2

Maintenance of the FR2 is very simple, but an important factor in its dependability. Parts such as battery and pads have limited shelf life, indicated by an expiry date, and thus must be checked with regular intervals. When in standby mode the FR2 performs many maintenance activities itself. These include daily, weekly and monthly selftests. Full energy discharge is performed once a month to verify shock delivery performance.  In addition a detailed selftest is run whenever a battery is inserted. The FR2 itself communicates readiness by a flashing hourglass in the status indicator. By just walking past you can easily tell if the device is operational.The Heartstart FR2 requires no calibration or verification of energy delivery. Hence no technical maintenance is needed.More information is found in the Heartstart FR2 User Guide.

Philips FR2 Replacement Defibrillation Electrode Pads (2-Pack)

Adult Defibrillation Electrode Pads

Philips Heartstart FR2 Defibrillation Electrode Pads (model number DP2) are general purpose pads for use with Philips (and Laerdal) Heartstart FR2 and FR2+ AEDs, as well as with older Forerunner AEDs. They replace the electrode pads you originally received with your Philips Heartstart FR2 AED. We have them at a great price, too since you'll actually receive 2 pairs of electrode pads, not just one pair--thats enough for 2 patients! These electrode pads are recommended for use on patients over the age of 8 or above 55 lbs. (25 kg.) in body weight. For children under 8 years of age or less than 55 lbs., we suggest using the Philips Heartstart FR2 Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillator Pads (model number M3870A).

These electrodes are designed primarily for use with Philips Heartstart AEDs with packaging and instructions optimized for infrequent users. But they're suitable for both BLS and ACLS trained responders. They are disposable and self-adhesive with an active surface area of 100 square centimeters. Each pair of Philips Heartstart DP2 electrode pads are provided in a sealed package with an integrated 48 inch long cable with connector.
     
     
     
Philips FR2 Pediatric Electrode Pads

Infant/Child Defibrillation Electrode Pads

These Philips Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillator Electrode Pads are for use with Philips Hearstart FR2+ AEDs (models M3860A and M3861A) or Laerdal Hearstart FR2 series AEDs (models M3840A and M3841A). These are fully functioning AED electrode pads for use on children up to 8 years of age or up to 55 lbs. (25 kg.) in body weight. When used, these electrode pads reduce the energy level administered to the patient from the adult dose of 150 joules to a child dose of 50 joules. They are single-use and disposable.

ECG Option

Philips Heartstart FR2+ AED with ECG display option has extra accessories available for it that make it more than just an emergency use device. This is just one of them! Your FR2+ AED can be used by medical professionals for general patient monitoring where a full manual monitor and defibrillator might be impractical. To monitor the ECG of patients, use this Philips FR2+ ECG Assessment Module (part number M3873A). It provides a nondiagnostic ECG display of the patient's heart rhythm for attended patient monitoring. It is intended for use on a conscious or breathing patient regardless of their age. It monitors patients through the use of a 3-lead cable (marked in the standard black, red and white) and displays the ECG in Lead II as well as the patient's heart rate.

This is Important! The Philips Heartstart FR2+ ECG Assessment Module can only be used with the Philips Heartstart FR2+ AED (model number M3860A) or the Laerdal Heartstart FR2+ AED (model number M3840). FR2+ models without an ECG display (models M3861A or M3841A) are not compatible with the ECG Assessment Module. Any Philips FR2+ AED shipped prior to 11/12/01 will require a software upgrade to use the ECG Assessment Module. If you're looking to buy a Philips Heartstart FR2+ AED there's no need to worry...the AED Superstore only sells the latest models compatible with this accessory!

The Module is reusable and latex-free. It consists of a device connector that plugs into the connector socket of the FR2+, a trunk cable terminating in a molded yoke, and three lead wires permanently attached to the yoke. Each lead wire connects to a standard snap style disposable electrode. Three disposable electrodes are included.

Data Card and Tray

FR2+Data Card & Tray

Often it's beneficial for the patient if you can retrieve data from an AED that was just used in a rescue. The Emergency Room Physician may find useful such information as the patient's ECG during the entire event, the number of shocks administered and when CPR was started among other things. The only way to retrieve this data is through the use of a Philips Heartstart FR2+ AED Data Card and Tray

The 16 mb data card holds approximately 8 hours of incident and ECG information, or one hour with voice recording. A flash data card reader (M3524A) enables data transfer from the card to a personal computer for use with Philips HeartStart Event Review data management software.
