HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator
Be prepared for the unexpected.
When sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) strikes, the
electrical system of the heart short circuits, causing
the heart to quiver rather than pump in a normal
rhythm. It typically results in the abnormal heart
rhythm know as ventricular fibrillation (VF). It
usually happens without warning and the majority of
people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart
disease. And it most often happens at home. For the
best chance of survival from SCA caused by VF, a
defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet,
less than 1 in 20 people survive largely because a
defibrillator does not arrive in time.
Here's how easy the HeartStart is to use:
Step 2: Remove clothing from the patient's
torso. Cut clothing if needed. It is important that the
patient's chest is bare.
Step 3: Peel open the protective cover and
take out the white adhesive pads.
Step 4: Look closely at the pictures on the
white adhesive pads. Follow the voice instructions to
remove the pads from the yellow plastic liner and place
them on the victim's chest.
Step 5: Once the pads are in place,
HeartStart will automatically analyze the victim's
heart rhythm and determine if a shock is needed. If a
shock is required, press the flashing orange button to
deliver the shock. Do not touch the patient until you
are instructed that it is safe to do so.
Step 6: If needed, begin CPR. Press the
flashing blue button for step-by-step CPR coaching.
Continue to follow HeartStart's instructions until
professional emergency responders arrive. Just as seat belts or airbags do not save every life in a traffic accident, a defibrillator will not save every person who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest. Yet many lives could be saved if more people could be reached more quickly.
HeartStart was designed with you in mind. Clear, calm voice instructions talk you through each step. HeartStart senses and adapts the instructions based on your actions. Using sophisticated technology, HeartStart quickly decides whether a shock is necessary. It is designed to only deliver a shock if needed. It will even coach you through the steps of CPR.

You can check its status at a glance. Virtually no maintenance is required. Who should have a HeartStart?
