HeartStart Defibrillators are:
Easy to use
HeartStart Defibrillators are specifically designed for the lay responder. Our defibrillators provide clear, easy-to follow voice instructions and a simple user interface to guide the responder through an emergency.
In fact, Heartstart Defibrillators are so easy to use, in a mock cardiac arrest, naïve sixth-graders were able to use the device quickly and successfully.6
Reliable
You can rely on Philips. Our HeartStart Defibrillators are dependable. They perform comprehensive daily, weekly and monthly self-tests to help ensure readiness. A highly visible status indicator shows at a glance that the device has passed its last self-test and is ready for use.
Safe
HeartStart Defibrillators are based on industry-leading technology. Using a highly accurate algorithm, HeartStart Defibrillators are designed to only deliver a shock if the patient’s heart rhythm is shockable.
