Although most sudden cardiac arrests don’t happen in extreme environments some do. The HeartStart FRx is designed to work where rescuers may have to go to. In the rain, onboard aircraft, on metal surfaces or in industrial areas. (For details see:Technical data sheet) The FRx withstands jetting water, loads up to 250Kg and 1-metre drops to a concrete floor. It is also dust protected.
Heartstart FRx requires no regular or contractual technical maintenance programs. All vital functions are tested in the internal self test program including full energy charge/discharge.
With the FRx in standby mode maintenance is simply visual inspection and replacement of consumables such as pads(every two years) and battery (every 4 years)
