INTENDED USE The HeartStart FRx Trainer is designed to prepare emergency responders to use the FRx automated external defibrillator (AED). The HeartStart FRx Trainer cannot be used to deliver defibrillation treatment. The FRx Trainer provides a variety of simulations, or training scripts, to help responders become familiar with the FRx defibrillator and allow them to practice the basic skills necessary to use the defibrillator in an emergency.
• • The HeartStart FRx Trainer has eight training scenarios that simulate realistic sudden cardiac arrest episodes. See “Standard Training Scenarios” for scenario descriptions. These scenarios are compatible with training programs developed by nationally recognized responder programs. The HeartStart FRx Trainer is powered by four standard AA alkaline batteries. WARNING: Do not store the Trainer with your defibrillator, or where it could be confused with a defibrillator during an emergency.
A TRAINING PADS CONNECTOR PORT. The Training Pads II connector is inserted in this port. B INFANT/CHILD KEY SLOT. The Infant/Child Key, available separately, is inserted into this slot to simulate a defibrillation scenario for an infant or child under 8 years old or 55 pounds. C ON LIGHT. The FRx Trainer's green ON light is on solid when the Trainer is on, and off otherwise. (In the FRx Defibrillator, the green Ready light blinks when the defibrillator is in standby mode.) D ON/OFF BUTTON.
K BATTERY COMPARTMENT DOOR. This door is lifted off in order to install or replace batteries. The Trainer is powered by four disposable AA alkaline cells inserted in the recess on the back of the unit. (The FRx Defibrillator is powered by a custom battery pack.) L CONFIGURATION SWITCHES. Located inside the battery compartment well, these switches allow you to alter certain Trainer parameter settings. See “Configuring the FRx Trainer” for details. (The FRx Defibrillator does not have these switches.

(Simulated) non-shockable rhythm detected by Trainer. (Simulated) pads problem detected by Trainer.
SCENARIO DESCRIPTION SCENARIO DETAILS Scenario 3 • Trainer detects poor pad contact, repeats pads placement instructions. • After one pad is removed and reapplied, Trainer detects a shockable rhythm, instructs user to deliver a shock. • Trainer detects a non-shockable rhythm.
SCENARIO DESCRIPTION SCENARIO DETAILS Scenario 7 • Trainer detects a shockable rhythm, instructs user to deliver a shock. • Trainer still detects a shockable rhythm, instructs user to deliver another shock. • Trainer detects a non-shockable rhythm. • Trainer detects refibrillation (return to a shockable rhythm), instructs user to deliver a shock. • Trainer detects a non-shockable rhythm.

TRAINER PERFORMANCE DURING USE PHILIPS MEDIC AL SYSTEMS The Philips HeartStart FRx Trainer is designed for use in an automated external defibrillator training class taught by a qualified instructor.
