AED
Survival from an heart attack drops from 100% in 2 minutes to 20% in 12 minutes. So call 911 before starting.
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) provide critical emergency response for cardiac events. Wall-mounted cabinets ensure visibility and accessibility, while portable units offer mobility.
PROTIP: Keep a cloth-cutting sizzors and razor with your AED, for use dry. A hairy chest can prevent the AED pads from properly attaching and could cause an incorrect reading of the heart rhythm.

The FRX is for rugged enviornments. Insert its Infant/Child key for 0-8 year children under 55lbs.
It runs a self-check every 24 hours and makes voice prompts.
It offers a 8-yr warranty for AED, 4-year warranty for battery, pads are warrantied until expiration date. The kit comes with sticker to note expiration dates. But also add to your calendar.
After use, replace pads. Medical devices require professional training and maintenance per local regulations.
