The
HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator
Philips, the leader in defibrillation technology,* designed
the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator for the ordinary person
in the extraordinary moment. Our innovative technology,
based on extensive research and user feedback, has produced
a defibrillator so easy to use that, with minimal training,
you can potentially save the life of a co-worker, friend,
or anyone else stricken with sudden cardiac arrest.
Weighing just 3.3 lbs., this small and lightweight defibrillator
can be easily carried to the patient’s side. Using
clear, natural voice instructions, the OnSite Defibrillator
guides you, the first caregiver on the scene, through each
step of defibrillation and CPR. Integrated SMART Pads placed
on the patient’s bare skin transmit information to
the defibrillator, which senses and adapts to your actions
every step of the way.
HeartStart OnSite includes proven Philips technologies for
heart rhythm assessment (SMART Analysis) and defibrillation
energy delivery (SMART Biphasic). And like all HeartStart
defibrillators, it can be used to treat infants, children
and adults.
Ready When Needed
HeartStart
Onsite is powered by a simple, safe, long-life (four-year)
battery, the same technology used in cameras. Just click
the battery in place, and the defibrillator is standing
by, ready for use.
Between
uses, the defibrillator performs daily, weekly, and monthly
self-tests of its electrical components, subsystems, and
battery to help ensure continued reliability and readiness.
A pads integrity test, which checks daily that the cartridge
is properly installed and that the defibrillator pads are
in working order, provides an additional level of assurance.
As
long as the green “Ready” light on the defibrillator
is blinking, you can be certain the HeartStart OnSite is
ready for use. If any part of the defibrillator needs attention,
the “Ready” light turns off and the defibrillator
“chirps” to alert you. Pressing the flashing
blue “Information” button provides verbal guidance
to help you identify and correct the situation.
Easy to Use
Using
the HeartStart OnSite 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 OnSite 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 OnSite 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 OnSite 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
OnSite 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 Onsite verbally recounts events from its
last clinical use.
The
OnSite is just one part of a well-designed emergency
response plan. Any emergency response plan should be under
the oversight of a physician and include CPR training. Ask
your HeartStartCentral representative about Medical
Direction.
