Philips FR/FR2/FR2+ Replacement Pediatric Electrode Pads enable minimally trained responders to safely and promptly defibrillate infants and children under 8 years of age or 55 pounds. These special infant/child pads contain electronics that attenuate, or reduce, the energy of the defibrillator's shock from 150 to 50 Joules, an appropriate dosage of SMART Biphasic therapy for infants and small children. And the FR2-series defibrillator can evaluate children's heart rhythms with outstanding accuracy for appropriate shock/no-shock decisions. Philips FR2/FR2+ Pediatric AED Pads. Defibrillator Pads enable minimally trained responders to safely and promptly defibrillate infants and children | Special infant/child pads reduce the energy of the shock from 150 to 50 Joules | FR2-series defibrillator can evaluate children's heart rhythms
