Automated External Defibrillator
Like other pieces of essential safety equipment, the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator was designed to be safe, reliable and easy to use. Designed with you in mind, HeartStart Home is easy to set up and includes automatic CPR guidance features like voice prompts and CPR guidance to help guide you step-by-step through the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.
HeartStart Home was the first defibrillator approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for sale over the counter without a prescription.
Features
Life Guidance features provide clear voice instructions
Just pull the green handle to activate the defibrillator and its voice instructions are paced to your actions to help guide you through the entire process – from placing each pad on the patient to delivering a defibrillation shock and performing CPR.
Ready to act, ready to go
Life Guidance features provide step-by-step voice instructions, including CPR coaching, to help give you the confidence that’s needed when treating a cardiac arrest. The HeartStart Home Defibrillator is virtually ready to rescue out of the box so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that it is deployed correctly and ready when needed.
SMART Analysis
SMART Analysis automatically assesses the victim’s heart rhythm and is designed to deliver therapy only if the rhythm is determined to be shockable – even if the Shock button is pressed.
