We are receiving excellent feedback from our EHS MFR Agencies with respect to the new Philips FRx AED device. Pictured below is the Quik Combo Adapter Model 05-10000, which is clipped to the LP12 therapy-pouch in every EHS ambulance, thereby providing compatibility of the Philips pads in use with the LP12.
