Defibrillation

A caregiver defibrillates the victim with the Philips HeartStart FRx defibrillatorPhilips AEDs utilize proprietary SMART Biphasic truncated exponential waveform technology, delivering high current at lower energy levels with real-time impedance compensation. This personalized shock strength maximizes defibrillation effectiveness while minimizing myocardial damage. Philips devices deliver rapid shocks (within ~8-10 seconds after CPR pause) using adaptive SMART Pads that guide users with clear voice prompts and CPR coaching. One set of pads works for adults and children, enhancing ease of use in emergencies. Rugged, lightweight, and clinically validated, Philips AEDs are ideal for hospitals, EMS, workplaces, and public spaces to improve cardiac arrest survival.
