Philips HeartStart Defibrillator is the first and only defibrillator available over -the-counter due to this award winning device being designed for virtually anyone to help save the life of a person who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest.

Philips is the worldwide leader in portable defibrillators on airplanes, and in airports, workplaces, communities, and homes.  The device safely delivers a shock only if needed.  Easy to use with guided interactive voice instructions along with being extremely reliable by running daily self-tests for readiness.

Who should have a Philips HeartStart Defibrillator?

We believe that everyone who wants a safer home would want the latest in essential safety equipment.  Take a moment to consider all the other essential safety equipment you own to protect your loved ones in case of emergency.  Fire extinguishers, Airbags, Seat belts and Home security systems. All of these pieces of safety equipment provide peace of mind. While we hope you never have to use a defibrillator, being prepared for the unexpected is the primary reason for all the previously mentioned safety equipment.

Current studies indicate that 70 to 80 percent of all sudden cardiac arrest occur at home.  It usually happens without warning and the majority of people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease.  For the best chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF), a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes.  Less that 1 in 20 people survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time.

Step 1: After calling 911, grab HeartStart and place it next to the victim. Pull the green handle to begin the automated voice instructions.	Step 2: Remove clothing from the patient's torso. Cut clothing if needed. It is important that the patient's chest is bare.
Step 3: Peel open the protective cover and take out the white adhesive pads.	Step 4: Look closely at the pictures on the white adhesive pads. Follow the voice instructions to remove the pads from the yellow plastic liner and place exactly as shown in the pictures on the victim's chest.
Step 5: Once the pads are in place, HeartStart will automatically analyze the victim's heart rhythm and determine if a shock is needed. If a shock is required, press the flashing orange button to deliver the shock. Do not touch the patient until you are instructed that it is safe to do so.	Step 6: If needed, begin CPR. Press the flashing blue button for step-by-step CPR coaching. Continue to follow HeartStart's instructions until professional emergency responders arrive.
