Philips HeartStart FR2 Electrodes for Adults and Children

The Philips HeartStart FR2 electrodes are suitable for both adults and children. These electrodes are not pre-connected and should be stored unopened with the AED. They are self-adhesive, and the packaging features clear diagrams showing correct placement for both adults and children.

These electrodes are essential for use with the Philips HeartStart FR2 AED, which is suitable for adults as well as children weighing up to 25 kg and/or aged 8 or younger.

When should I replace the Philips HeartStart FR2 electrodes?

The Philips HeartStart FR2 electrodes must be replaced every two years. This means they require replacement at least every two years, even if they have not been used. They must also be replaced sooner if the packaging is damaged or if the electrodes have been deployed during an emergency.

Why do these Philips electrodes need regular replacement?

The electrodes contain a conductive gel layer that dries out over time, reducing their effectiveness. It is therefore vital to use the electrodes within their expiration date to ensure the AED functions effectively. Without valid electrodes, the AED may not function optimally during an emergency—a critical factor in saving lives.
