Defibrillators for use with Infants and Children

The HeartStart M5068A, HeartStart FRx and HeartStart FR2+ can be used on infants and children.

M5068A HeartStart

HeartStart Infant/Child SMART pads cartridges (M5072A) for children weighing less than 25Kg are sold separately. Philips defibrillators were the first automated external defibrillators available for use on children under the age of 8 or weighing less than 25Kg. HeartStart M5068A can be used on children weighing over 25Kg with the standard adult SMART pads cartridge.

HeartStart FRx

To use the HeartStart FRx on children weighing less than 25Kg use the optional Infant/Child Key. The Infant/Child Key signals to the device that a rescuer is treating an infant or small child. When the key is inserted, the defibrillator adjusts to provide infant/child CPR and AED instructions; the pads icons on the front of the device flashes to show the responder the appropriate pad placement; and the device reduces the shock energy to a level more appropriate for an infant or small child. HeartStart FRx can be used on children weighing over 25Kg with the standard adult SMART pads

If you wish to purchase a Philips HeartStart defibrillator for possible use with a child it is essential you consult with your doctor or cardiologist before obtaining a unit

 HeartStart FR2+

Paediatric Pads (M3870A) are for treating infants and children under 8 years of age or 55 pounds with an FR2-series defibrillator. These special infant/child pads contain electronics that attenuate, or reduce, the energy of the defibrillator’s shock from 150 to 50 Joules, a more appropriate dosage of SMART Biphasic therapy for infants and small children. And the FR2-series defibrillator can evaluate children’s heart rhythms with outstanding accuracy. The pads’ design was carefully thought out to ensure that, even for the most inexperienced user under the most stressful circumstances, it is instantly obvious that these pads are for children and infants only. This helps ensure
that the correct pads are chosen when you need to be prepared to treat both adults and children. The packaging, graphics, and pink teddy bear-shaped connector clearly communicate pediatric use.
