HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator

Product Info

HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator is part of the HeartStart HS1 family of defibrillators by Philips.

Small, light, easy-to-use automated external defibrillator (AED) designed for use by minimally trained individuals.

Battery-powered first-aid device for the heart that may help you save the life of someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

Now Available Without A Prescription

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-use and most reliable defibrillator available.

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).

Can be used to treat adults, as well as infants and children 4.

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.

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 confident the 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.

Features of the OnSite Defibrillator: Lightweight: Just 3.3 pounds fully equipped. Intuitive: Clean design and clear voice instructions instill the confidence that's needed when administering therapy to a person in cardiac arrest. Ever-Ready: Powered by a long-life (4-year) disposable battery. Daily automated tests of battery, circuitry, and pads help ensure readiness. Versatile: Available for use on anyone of any age -- including infants and small children. Effective: Patented SMART Analysis heart rhythm assessment and SMART Biphasic defibrillation therapy, clinically proven in nearly 10 years of use. No other biphasic waveform is as well documented. And with patented QuickShock, the OnSite is fastest in class at delivering a shock after CPR. Studies show that minimizing time to shock after CPR may improve survival. 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. These 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.

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.
