Product Description
Sudden cardiac arrest(SCA) strikes nearly 1,000 victims every day. Almost 80% of the time, the events occur in the home, where there’s usually someone else who could potentially help. Treating the most common form of SCA by shocking the heart back into a normal rhythm, defibrillation greatly increases the chance of survival if used within the first 5 mins. of an arrest. Available for use in that crucial window until professional emergency medical help arrives, the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator arms you with potentially life-saving technology that’s designed to be used by virtually anyone. HeartStart guides the user with calm interactive voice instructions—which sense and adapt to her/his actions—and determines if the heart rhythm is shockable, then advises a shock and only allows delivery if it detects a shockable heart rhythm.(You might also need toperform CPR, but HeartStart coaches you through that, too.) The 4-yr. lithium battery runs daily self-tests and alerts you with loud chirping if there’s a problem, so HeartStart is ready for an emergency—as are you, thanks to the included training DVD, quick-reference guide and coupons for discounted CPR training. Also includes a first-aid kit, wall mount, carrying case and adult SMART Pads cartridge(which lasts 2 yrs.). Please note: pads cartridge for children under 8 yrs./55 lbs. is sold separately and only with a prescription; you can’t use HeartStart on yourself; you may have to kneel when using it; all instructions(verbal and written) are in English; and owning a defibrillator doesn’t take the place of seeking medical care. |
