Philips—The trusted choice
• A Fortune Global 500 company, Philips is one of the world’s largest medical
products companies with annual revenue of over $7 billion.
• With over 350,000 automated external defibrillators installed, Philips is the
leader in public access defibrillation.
11
• Over 7 billion HeartStart Defibrillator service hours have been logged,
with an additional 7 million added every day.
• Over 17% of Fortune 1000 companies, 8 out of 10 major airlines, and
43 professional sports teams rely on Philips HeartStart Defibrillators.
The HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator is the first defibrillator available for
commercial and institutional users without a prescription. As the leader in
innovative defibrillation technology, Philips is committed to making defibrillators
more widely available so that more lives can be saved. Now with over-the-
counter status, Philips is making it easier for companies and organizations to
institute early defibrillation programs.
Defibrillators are one part of a well-planned resuscitation program, which also
should include responder training in CPR and AED use. Philips recommends
medical oversight of your early defibrillation program by a physician or other
authorized medical practitioner. Consult your state and local requirements
regarding owning and operating defibrillators, and medical oversight.
HeartStart user considerations
• You cannot use the HeartStart OnSite to treat yourself.
• Responding to cardiac arrest may require you to kneel.
