Often it's beneficial for the patient if you can retrieve data from an AED that was just used in a rescue. The Emergency Room Physician may find useful such information as the patient's ECG during the entire event, the number of shocks administered, and when CPR was started among other things. The only way to retrieve this data is through the use of a Philips HeartStart FR2+ AED Data Card and Tray. The Philips HeartStart FR2+ AED does show a patient summary on its LCD screen after an event, but it doesn't include the features above that are so helpful to the patient and doctor. Will hold up to 8 hours of incident and ECG information | Or one hour with voice recording | Retrieve the data through software that's free from Philips and a Card Reader available separately | To use data it must be inserted into the AED before the device is turned on
The Philips FR2/FR2+ Data Card and Tray (M3854A) is an essential accessory for medical personnel and AED program administrators who require comprehensive incident data for post-event analysis. This integrated system combines a 16 MB data card with a durable plastic tray, offering secure storage and seamless integration with Philips HeartStart FR2 and FR2+ AEDs.
