Professional Review:
The Philips HeartStart FRx device takes what is great about the Philips OnSite and builds on it. Not only is it easy to use and lightweight, it also adds some unique features, like the ability for the device to be used on an infant with the insertion of a key. This device can also be used as a training device, which will save money in the long run. The FRx is one of the most popular mid-tier devices on the market for good reason: high functionality and a robust feature set.
