About the Product

Philips, a leader in portable defibrillation technology, designed the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), specifically for the non-medical, layperson, so even those with little or no training in defibrillation could operate an AED and provide CPR to save a life. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED coaches the rescuer with detailed instructions which are given audibly by the machine one the handle is pulled to remove the safety covering. These smooth, calm, knowledgeable vioice instructions help to keep the rescuer calm while providing clear, easy to follow instructions for attaching the HeartStart Onsite Defibrillator to the victim, to providing a shock to the victim if indicated one is needed. The Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator even talks the rescuer through defibrillation and CPR and EVEN reminds the rescuer to call 911.

Additionally, the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator is the ONLY AED which does not require a prescription, making it ian easy obtainable life saving device for the home as well as places where the public congregate.

Small and light weight, the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator can easily be carried to the victim's side in a rescue situation.

How safe is the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator?

The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED was created to ensure the safety of anyone who may come into contact with this product, whether it be the rescuer(s), the victim, curious children, or anyone else the product comes into contact with. Philips designed the HeartStart Onsite AED to not deliver a shock unless one is deemed necessary and that shock will help restore the victim's heart to its normal rhythymic beating. Therefore, all instructions must be followed and completed each step of the way for the machine to be able to deliver a shock. Philips will even re-phrase and repeat instructions, if not answered and completed. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED will establish whether a shock will help the person experiencing the cardiac arrest once the machine is turned on and defibrillation pads are connected and monitored for a short time. If the victim's heart function will not benefit from a defibrillation shock, the machine will not deliver a shock. Even if the shock button is pressed which makes it impossible for the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator to deliver an unnecessary or accidental shock.

Who should have a Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)?

Anyone and everyone who wants a safer environment. Consider the other essential safety equipment you own to protect your loved ones in case of an emergency, like smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, flashlights, and first-aid kits. These devices are there to protect you. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED is also a protection device. It can save a life if sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) should occur. Studies have found that victims suffering from sudden cardiac arrest have a greater chance of survival if they receive CPR and a defibrillation shock, if necessary, within minutes of having an SCA. For every minute that passes, a victim's percentage of survival decreases. Normally it takes the EMS department 9-15 minutes to arrive at a scene. Since minutes count, having a Philips HeartStart AED onsite will greatly improve the chances for survival.

Is the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator Dependable?

The HeartStart Onstite Defibrillator conducts over 80 self test every day including insuring the battery is charged, SMART pad readiness, and internal circuitry is working. If any of these tests fail, the Philips HeartStart Onsite AED will chirp, just like a smoke alarm when the battery needs to be replaced. In addition, the green ready light will go out.

How it works?

Once the Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator is turned on and the integrated SMART Pads are placed on the patient's skin, information is transmitted to the defibrillator from the pads. The AED assesses the patient's heart rhythym, provides CPR coaching at the push of a button, and after eight seconds tells the user whether to deliver a shock or not. And the Philips HeartStart Onsite AED can be used to treat infants, children and adults.

Training and using the Philips HeartStart Onstie AED as a trainer.

The Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) has training cartridges and other accessories which allow you to use your Onsite for training and demonstrations. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED can be used as a training tool when using the traing pads cartridge. Just replace the Adult SMART pads cartridge or the Infant Child SMART pads cartridge with it's respective training cartridge and the Philips HeartStart Onsite turns into a trainer which does not deliver a shock.

Wall Cabinets, Carry Cases and Additional Accessories.

Additional accessories are available for the Heartstart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). If you wish to display your AED where the public can see it, you might want to consider a wall cabinet, a bracket to mount the walll cabinet, and an AED sign to hang above the cabinet. If your Philips HeartStart Onsite AED Defibrillator is for a small office, or home, you might just need a carry case to protect your defibrillator from the elements. You might want a carry case to hold all your defibrillation products together and have them in an alarmed wall cabinet, especially if you're thinking you need to have the AED displayed for all to see as well as having it in a bag so anyone could bring all it's accessories to a victim's side. If your defibrillator will be used for both adults and children, you should purchase the Philips HeartStart Onsite Infant Child Defibrillation Pads and a Philips Heartstart Onsite Infant Child Placement Guide. We also carry replacement batteries and pads, training materials and offer a number of services like medical oversight for your Automatic External Defibrillator, CPR AED training, and soon we will offer first aid supplies. Medical oversight is where we check your AED, making sure it's functioning properly, replace pads and batteries when necessary, and have a medical doctor oversee your program, taking the pressure off of you.

How do I use the Philips HeartStart Defibrillator?

If you suspect that someone is in sudden cardiac arrest (i.e. they are not breathing normally, they are unconscious, and you cannot wake the person) CALL 911.

Then PULL the cartridge handle- - it's marked "PULL" in large letters initiating the clear calm voice that will guide you through the process.

Next, follow the voice instructions and PLACE THE PADS on the patient's bare chest . Further instructions will continue step by step. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED can even sense and adapt to your actions. If you are moving quickly, the voice prompts stay with you. If you are taking too much time, the Philips HeartStart Onsite AED provides increasingly detailed instructions to help you place the pads. Once the Philips HeartStart Onsite AED senses that the pads have been applied to the skin, it automatically begins analyzing the patient's heart rhythm. The Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) decides whether a shock is needed--you don't have to.

Lastly, PRESS the shock button. If the Philips HeartStart Onsite AED decides a shock is needed, it will instruct you to press the flashing orange button. The Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is designed to only let you deliver a shock if it determines one is needed. The Philips HeartStart Onsite AED even provides CPR coaching.

It's that easy. You can feel confident with Philips as the automatic external defibrillator is providing easy-to-follow, straightforward direction and coaching.

To see a demonstration online, go to Philips Rescue Packages. A Philips Heartstart Demonstration is available online which shows the defibrillator in action.

Sudden cardiac arrest affects approximately 340,000 people in the United States every year with almost 80% occurring in the home. It is estimated that less than five percent of people suffereing from sudden cardiac arrest survive their attack. With every minute that passes without assistance, the victim's changes of survival decreases by approximately 10%. With faster access to the benefits of a defibrillator, approximately 40,000 people could be saved when suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. If more Philips HeartStart Onsite Automatic External Defibrillators were placed in homes and in public, more lives could be saved.
