Philips is the trusted choice for resuscitation products – helping responders treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) quickly and effectively whenever it occurs.

 

Forward-thinking organizations and communities are establishing early defibrillation programs in shopping malls, airports, businesses, health clubs, casinos, and across entire towns and cities. Now you can empower your organization with the same confidence, peace of mind and invaluable preparedness.



HeartStart Defibrillators are:

 

Easy to use

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

In fact, Heartstart Defibrillators are so easy to use, in a mock cardiac arrest, naïve sixth-graders were able to use the device quickly and successfully.6

 

Reliable

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

 

Safe

HeartStart Defibrillators are based on industry-leading technology. Using a highly accurate algorithm, HeartStart Defibrillators are designed to only deliver a shock  if the patient’s heart rhythm is shockable.
