Overview
The Philips FRx Training Pads II support AED and CPR training programs by providing the supplies needed for realistic practice scenarios.
Intended Use
Designed for use during AED training sessions and CPR certification courses. Training consumables allow repeated practice without depleting live AED supplies.
Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with your specific AED trainer model before ordering.
Key Features
- Designed for AED training use
- Supports realistic practice scenarios
- Check compatibility with your trainer model
Practical Considerations
Training consumables are used during practice sessions and need periodic replacement. Order sufficient quantities for your training schedule.
Philips FRx Training Pads II are replacement training electrodes for the Philips HeartStart FRx Trainer — used in CPR + AED instructor courses to simulate live pad placement and shock delivery. They do NOT deliver real shocks and are NOT for use on live patients. Each set is engineered to mate with the FRx Trainer connector and retains tackiness for multiple class cycles before regelling is recommended. Buy authentic stock from authorized U.S. distributors to ensure trainer compatibility.

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Can I use these in a real rescue?
No — Philips FRx Training Pads II are designed exclusively for the FRx Trainer device and cannot deliver an actual defibrillation shock. The training pads connect only to the Trainer (not the live FRx) and the Trainer device itself does not produce rescue-capable energy. Using training pads in an emergency would result in no shock delivery and a failed rescue. Always stock authentic SMART Pads II in your live FRx cabinet, separated visually from any training pad inventory you keep for instructor use.
How many simulated rescues before pads need replacement?
Approximately 50–100 simulated rescue cycles depending on usage care. The adhesive degrades faster than the electronics; pads typically lose adhesion before the simulated signal degrades. For high-volume instructors running 8+ courses per year, plan replacement every 12–18 months. For occasional trainers running 1–2 courses per year, pads can last 3–5 years. Replace when adhesive becomes unreliable or visual wear becomes obvious — student perception of training quality matters.
Are these the same as SMART Pads II?
No — Training Pads II look similar but are functionally different. SMART Pads II deliver real defibrillation shocks through the live FRx; Training Pads II only signal the Trainer device for simulated rescue cycles. The training variant has different connector electronics and no rescue-capable energy path. Storing both in the same cabinet creates real risk of grabbing the wrong SKU during an emergency. Keep training pads in a separate instructor-supply location, clearly labeled and color-coded against your live rescue inventory.
