6 Philips HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator
Replaceable SMART Pads Cartridges
The cartridge contains two adhesive pads that are placed
on the patient’s bare skin as indicated by the pictures on
the pads.The pads are “smart” because they sense when
they have been removed from the cartridge and when
each has been applied to the patient, adjusting the voice
instructions to your actions.
The HeartStart OnSite can be used on patients of any
age, including infants and children. OnSite senses when
the special infant/child SMART Pads Cartridge is installed.
It automatically adjusts to use a lower energy level more
appropriate for infants and children, and also provides
coaching for performing infant/child CPR.
To practice your skills, a special training pads cartridge
(adult or infant/child) can be installed in the defibrillator.
It suspends the defibrillator’s ability to shock, while
walking you through patient care scenarios.

And with patented Quick Shock, the OnSite is fastest in
class at delivering a shock after CPR. Studies show that
minimizing time to shock after CPR may improve
survival. 4,5,6,7,8 As American Heart Association Guidelines
2005 notes, “Reduction in the interval from compression
to shock delivery by even a few seconds can increase the
probability of shock success.” 10
