Philips HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator
Buy the Philips HeartStart AED Defibrillator
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-use²,³ and 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
QuickShock The HeartStart Advantage
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 confidentthe 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.
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.
