No other biphasic waveform is as well documented.Each year sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) strikes approximately a quarter-million people in the U.S. alone. The majority of these people have no warning, since they show no prior symptoms. And, sadly, fewer than 5% survive, often because emergency medical services cannot reach them in time.

When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, the electrical system of the heart short-circuits, most often causing an abnormal rhythm known as ventricular fibrillation. Lacking proper blood flow, the person loses consciousness, stops breathing, and will die unless promptly treated. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help a person in cardiac arrest, but it alone cannot save lives. A “shock” from a defibrillator — defibrillation therapy — is needed to restore the heart’s normal pumping rhythm. A victim’s best chance of surviving SCA is to receive that shock within 5 minutes of collapse.

The Movement to Save More Lives. Over the last 20 years, there has been a widespread effort to move defibrillators into communities where they can be accessed and used by trained citizens, who might be present at the onset of SCA or first on the scene. To that end, Philips produces easy-to-use automated external defibrillators. Our HeartStart defibrillators enable almost anybody to treat SCA quickly and effectively, wherever it happens — at work, at play, in the air — providing the power to save a life.

Philips, the leader in defibrillation technology,* designed the HeartStart OnSite AED Defibrillator for the ordinary person in the extraordinary moment. Our innovative technology, based on extensive research and user feedback, has produced a defibrillator so easy to use that, with minimal training, 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, the first caregiver on the scene, 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. -
The Heartstart FRX is available in a semi-automatic AED. The biggest difference in a fully and semi-automatic machine is the moment when the shock is administered to the victim. With the full this happens automatically and with the semi-automatic, the operator has to press the button. So if you want to buy the AED from Philips, it is useful to take this into account. Regardless of your choice, we always recommend taking an AED course so that you are familiar with the AED you are purchasing. Philips FRx AED
