"FRx AEDs are foolproof. All you do is turn it on and it talks you through it from there. You never know when you may need it."
Carly Ryan,
Royal Life Saving, Australia
"I applied the pads to his chest and turned it on for analysis. It advised a shock, so I delivered one shock. After re-analysis, I began CPR."

SMART-pads
SMART Pads detect the rescuer’s initial touch and guide the AED to adapt the instructions to the precise pace of the responder. The voice prompts are designed to assist rather than overwhelm.
SMART-analysis
SMART analysis automatically assesses the victim’s heart rhythm. Whether the victim is an adult or child it delivers the right amount of therapy and only if it is needed. Even if you press the shock button, it will only deliver therapy if the rhythm is determined to be shockable.
CPR guidance
Real-time, step-by-step voice commandsprompts paced to your actions, and an audible metronome and CPR guidance assist the responder.
