Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator

Simplicity is Being Prepared
Advertisement & Announcement
The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator. It's the latest in essential safety equipment.

Fire extinguishers. Seat belts. Airbags. Home security systems. All essential safety equipment to protect yourself and your loved ones.

You know they are there silently standing by just in case. They give you peace of mind so that you can focus on life's good things.

But that's exactly what happens with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). When 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.

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.
