Philips HeartStart Onsite Defibrillator
The first commercial defibrillator available without a prescription, the Onsite is designed to be the easiest to use and most reliable defibrillator available. Innovative technology, based on extensive research and user feedback, has produced a defibrillator so easy to use that it can potentially save the life of a coworker, friend or anyone else stricken with sudden cardiac arrest. Weighing just 3.3 pounds, this small and lightweight defibrillator can be easily carried to the victim's side. Using clear, calm voice instructions, the Onsite defibrillator guides you through each step of defibrillation, including CPR coaching. The Onsite Defibrillator is generally used in office settings or any non-industrial environment.
Philips HeartStart FRx Defibrillator
This unit is designed to be easy to use, durable and reliable for those who get to the scene first. The FRx Defibrillator is the solution for treating sudden cardiac arrest in environments and conditions too demanding or harsh for many other defibrillators. This is the ideal defibrillator to have in industrial settings, construction sites, outdoors and many other areas and situations. The FRx is exceptionally rugged and water resistant. The FRx weighs just 3.5 pounds and guides you through every step with clear, calm voice commands and descriptive visual icons.
