The Philips HeartStart FR3 uses an Infant/Child Key to automatically decrease the defibrillation therapy for children. The key is inserted and lowers the energy to 50 Joules which is designed for patients less than 55 pounds or 8 years of age. This is an excellent tool for pediatric patients.
When the key is inserted, it provides specific voice and CPR coaching specifically geared for treatment of infants/children. The AED also checks the chest impedance of the patient and provides the correct dose for smaller children and infants.
The pediatric key saves you money if you need to treat pediatric patients. It eliminates buying separate pediatric pads and the additional cost of about $108 every two years. It also simplifies treatment and speeds treatment eliminating the need to change from adult pads to pediatric pads in the middle of a rescue.
The pediatric key is a unique feature to Philips FRx and FR3 AEDs. It will save you hundreds of dollars over the life your AED Program.
