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 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. 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

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.
