Philips Heartstart Onsite

Easy to Use Using the HeartStart AED Defibrillator is simple. Pulling the green handle powers-up the defibrillator and activates voice instructions. These instructions are paced to your actions, to help guide you through the entire process, from placing pads on the patient to delivering a defibrillation shock. HeartStart AED determines if a shock is needed, based on its automated assessment of the victim's heart rhythm: If a shock is needed, the defibrillator directs you to press the flashing orange "Shock" button. Then HeartStart AED delivers a dose of low-energy biphasic therapy, a highly effective defibrillation waveform that is also gentle to the heart. If a shock is not needed, the HeartStart Defibrillator instructs you to assess the patient and to perform CPR when necessary. While performing CPR, the defibrillator's voice instructions can be activated to coach you on the frequency and depth of compressions. HeartStart AED also reminds you to call emergency medical services (EMS). And, should EMS need a summary of care, it can be retrieved from the defibrillator's internal memory. An EMS provider simply presses the "i-button" and HeartStart AED verbally recounts events from its last clinical use.
