SHELF LIFE OF THE FRX ELECTRODES
Due to the conductive gel layer, electrodes have an expiry date. After this date, the electrodes must no longer be used, as the gel layer can dry out and conductivity is reduced as a result. The Heartstart FRx electrodes have a shelf life of approx. 2 years. The expiry date is shown on the electrode packaging.

USE IN CHILDREN:
For children younger than 8 years and weighing less than 25 kg, special paediatric electrodes are normally used. For the Heartstart FRx, a paediatric key has been developed; this is inserted into the defibrillator during paediatric resuscitation to activate paediatric mode, allowing the normal Smart Pads II electrodes to be used for children as well. The shock level is reduced automatically.
