HeartStart
OnSite Defibrillator Product Data Sheet
Philips, the leader in
portable defibrillation technology1,
designed the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator for the
ordinary person in the extraordinary moment. Available
without a prescription, the OnSite is designed to be
the easiest-to-use2,3and most
reliable defibrillator available. Our innovative
technology, based on extensive research and user
feedback, has produced a defibrillator so easy to use
that 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 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
adults, as well as infants and children4.

Ready When Needed
HeartStart OnSite is
powered by a simple, long-life (four-year) battery, the same
technology used with confidence in millions of 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, the OnSite
has passed its last self-test and you can be confident the
HeartStart OnSite is ready for use. If a self-test finds that
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 activates the defibrillator and 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. Works as a Home AED without a
prescription.
HeartStart
OnSite determines if a heart rhythm is shockable:
- If a shock
is indicated, 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 indicated, 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.

Philips,
Leading the Way
The HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator is the first defibrillator
available for commercial and institutional users without a
prescription. As the leader in innovative defibrillation
technology, Philips is committed to making defibrillators more
widely available so that more lives can be saved. Now with
over-the-counter status, Philips is making it easier for
companies and organizations to institute early defibrillation
programs.
Defibrillators are just
one aspect of a well-planned resuscitation program. Philips
recommends medical oversight of early defibrillation programs
by a physician or other authorized medical practitioner. To
support customers' implementation efforts, Philips offers HeartStart
Essentials, a suite of comprehensive products and services
designed to help you deploy a successful defibrillation
program - from planning and medical direction, to training and
post-sales support. What a great Home AED.
