To ensure your Philips FRx defibrillator is always ready for use in emergencies, regular maintenance is essential.

A non-functional defibrillator could prevent life-saving action when it’s needed most.
Below, you’ll find all the essential accessories for your Philips FRx, helping you keep it in top working condition.
