Philips HeartStart Defibrillators

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) always shows up without an appointment. And the only way to save a victim is a shock to the heart from a defibrillator—administered within the first five minutes to maximize the chances for survival.¹

But professional emergency responders can't always get there in time. That's why several states either recommend or require that defibrillators be present in dental offices using sedation or general anesthesia. And many dental practices have selected Philips HeartStart Defibrillators, the first defibrillators accepted by the American Dental Association.

Easy to Use

HeartStart Defibrillators are specifically designed for the minimally trained lay responder, providing clear, easy-to-follow voice instructions and a simple user interface to guide the responder through an emergency.

Safe

HeartStart Defibrillators only help—never harm. Our defibrillators are designed so that it is virtually impossible to “shock” someone who is not in SCA. If there is no SCA, the device will not allow a user to deliver a shock.

Reliable

You can rely on Philips. Our HeartStart Defibrillators are dependable and built to last. They even perform comprehensive daily, weekly and monthly self-tests to help ensure readiness. A highly visible status indicator shows at a glance if the device is ready for use.

For Use on Infants and Small Children

HeartStart Defibrillators are the first automated external defibrillators available for use on children under 8 years old and/or 55 pounds.

Many of our customers need more than just defibrillators; they look to Philips for a complete, flexible solution - from planning and medical direction to training and maintenance. We call these tools, services and products HeartStart Essentials, and they're designed to make defibrillator ownership easy. We can do the same for you and your practice.
