Guides you through every step.

Just pull the green handle to activate your Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator, and voice instructions will guide you through the entire process--from placing each pad on the patient to performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and delivering a defibrillation shock. It even guides you on the frequency and depth of chest compressions, as well as breaths.

Advanced technology. Proven therapy.

The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is designed for use on adults over 25 kg. or 55 lbs. and infants and children under 25 kg or 55 lbs. or 0-8 years old. SMART Analysis automatically assesses the person’s heart rhythm. If a non-shockable rhythm is detected, the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator will not provide a shock and will prompt the user to perform CPR if needed.

Fast shock delivery.

Quick Shock typically administers a shock within eight seconds after CPR, making the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator among the fastest in its class at delivering shock treatment after CPR. Studies show that minimizing time to shock after CPR may improve survival.¹⁻⁴

How easy is it?

The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is made for people who have never used a defibrillator before. The first and only defibrillator available without a prescription in the United States, it is designed to be easy to set up and use.

Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator

Easy as 1-2-3.

When you observe someone suffering from a suspected sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), you should act quickly. The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is equipped with integrated SMART Pads. Just place the SMART Pads on the person’s bare skin, and they will provide feedback to the AED so it can adapt its voice instructions to your actions and your pace. Prompts are repeated and include additional instructions to aid understanding.

If you may need to defibrillate an infant or a child under 25 kg (55 pounds) or 8 years old, it is recommended that you order the infant/child SMART Pads cartridge, available separately. When the Infant/Child Pads cartridge is installed in the Philips HeartStart Home AED, the device automatically reduces the defibrillation energy to an energy level more appropriate for infants and children. In addition, if optional CPR Coaching is selected, AED provides coaching appropriate for infants/children.

  • Step1: Press the green On/Off button, which activates voice instruction and visual icons.
  • Step 2: Place the pads on the patient as directed.
  • Step 3: When advised by the device, press the orange Shock button

Simple to maintain.

The Philips HeartStart Home performs a self-test every day. In addition, a battery insertion test is run whenever a battery is installed in the device. The extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for any manual calibration. The Philips HeartStart Home AED has no user-serviceable parts.

What is a defibrillator?

Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow or too fast. Defibrillators can also restore the heart’s beating if the heart suddenly stops.

What’s the impact?

In one year alone, 475,000 Americans die from a cardiac arrest. Globally, cardiac arrest claims more lives than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms, and house fires combined. More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year.

Don’t wait.

For the best chance of survival from the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, a shock from a defibrillator should be delivered within the first few minutes of collapse.⁵⁻⁶ The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator contains simple step-by-step process with clear, adaptive voice instructions – empowering even the most inexperienced responders.
