Philips HeartStart FRx AED Baby/Child Key – Safe and Cost-Effective Resuscitation

The Philips HeartStart FRx AED Baby/Child Key is an essential accessory that allows the Philips HeartStart FRx AED to be used safely on babies and children without the need for separate child electrodes . As soon as the key is inserted into the AED, the device automatically reduces the shock energy , making the standard electrodes suitable for babies and children up to 8 years of age or weighing under 25 kg.

This innovative solution makes CPR faster and more efficient , saves costs, and simplifies the use of the AED in emergencies. This makes the Philips HeartStart FRx Key ideal for schools, daycare centers, sports clubs, and other locations where CPR may be required for children.

How does the Philips HeartStart FRx AED Baby/Child Key work?

The Philips HeartStart FRx AED is equipped with adult electrodes as standard. When the baby/child key is inserted into the AED, the shock energy is reduced and the spoken instructions are automatically adjusted to pediatric resuscitation procedures. This means that:

• The energy level of the shock is reduced – specifically tailored to a child's physiology.
• Change the spoken instructions – the AED guides the rescuer step-by-step through resuscitation according to the child protocol.
• The standard electrodes can be used safely – without the need for separate pediatric electrodes.

This smart technology saves time in an emergency situation , because there is no need to switch between electrodes.

The Baby/Child Key offers various benefits:

• No separate pediatric electrodes needed – Saves costs and minimizes electrode changes.
• Automatic energy reduction – The AED immediately adjusts the shock energy for children.
• Quick and easy activation – Insert the key into the AED and the settings are adjusted automatically.
• Adapts instructions for child CPR – Provides clear guidance for CPR in babies and children.
