Three Steps to Restart a Heart


PULL, PLACE and Press.

Philips, the leader in defibrillation technology, designed The HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator for the ordinary person in the extraordinary moment. Its innovative technology, is based on extensive research and user feedback. The defibrillator so easy to use that, with minimal training, you can potentially save the life of a co-worker, friend, or anyone else who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

The Onsite AED Treats the most common cause of Sudden Cardiac Arrest by delivering a shock to the heart. No prescription necessary. Weighing just 3.3 lbs., can be easily carried to the patient’s side. By Pulling the green handle it 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.
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 determines if a shock is needed, based on its automated assessment of the victim’s heart rhythm.
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. We at Action Training Services always use this machine on our training courses; easy to use; does save peoples lives; and far better than a Green Box with a White Cross!!
