Description

The Philips HeartStart OnSite AED is remarkably simple to use and thus is ideal for in-home or office use. It is the only Automated External Defibrillator that’s available without a Physician’s Prescription. Every HeartStart OnSite comes ready-to-rescue. The device is pre-installed in the carrying case and battery and pads are pre-installed in the device. Simply pull up the handle on the front of the AED to activate it. The HeartStart OnSite provides on-demand audio coaching. Calm, clear voice instructions are tailored to the responder’s actions, providing AED and CPR guidance during the resuscitation of a sudden cardiac arrest victim. Philips SMART Biphasic therapy uses a unique combination of high current to maximize effectiveness, and a lower energy dose to minimize side effects that are harmful to a fragile heart. Your HeartStart OnSite goes through a 120-point test before it leaves the factory. On the job, it conducts self tests every single day, not just weekly. It performs over 80 different tests in all. Even the pads are tested for readiness. CPR is even more vital to survival than previously realized. Rapidly delivering a shock after chest compressions is critical. The HeartStart OnSite’s Quick Shock feature reduces the time between hands-off and shock delivery. The pads are “smart” because they can sense that they have been removed from the cartridge and applied to the patient. This helps the HeartStart OnSite know at what point the user is in the response process. The HeartStart OnSite’s graphics-based visual instructions are designed to communicate instantly, with minimum reading and interpretation. Users not fluent in the device’s language can follow easily.
