Be Prepared with a HeartStart Home Defibrillator


How would you feel if you saved someone's life?  How cool would it be if you were able to restart someone's heart and bring them back from death?

The HeartStart Home Defibrillator can make you a hero and save a loved one from cardiac arrest who may otherwise have died.   The HeartStart Home Defibrillator is specifically designed for the home.  If you live in the out-in-the-woods rural area of the country or a large city where emergency services are overburdened, being able to revive a heart attack victim before the EMS arrives is a huge advantage.  Every minute that a person isn't breathing is crucial and sometimes EMS just is not able to get to your home in time.

You can now deliver a life-saving shock at the scene of the heart attack before help arrives and the person dies from the HeartStart Home Defibrillator.  This device is designed to deliver a life-saving shock and in the process provide calm and steady guidance to the person who must operate it.

Available without a prescription, the HeartStart Home Defibrillator is designed with innovative technology, based on extensive research and user feedback that has produced a defibrillator so easy to use that you can potentially save the life of a co-worker, friend, or anyone else stricken with sudden cardiac arrest.

Even those who are not trained in medical emergences are able to use this machine.  Using clear, natural voice instructions, the HeartStart Home Defibrillator guides you through each step of defibrillation. Designed not to slow you down or leave you behind, it paces and adapts voice instructions to your actions every step of the way. It will even remind you to call emergency medical services.   It comes with On-demand CPR Coaching that helps the stressed user recall their training.

When an emergency happens there is no time to make sure the life saving device is working properly or not, this is why the HeartStart Home Defibrillator goes through a 120 point test before it leaves the factory and automatically conducts self-tests every single day, not just weekly. It performs over 80 different tests in all. Even the pads are tested for readiness.

Royal Philips Electronics, the maker of the HeartStart Home Defibrillator is the world leader in automated external defibrillators.  Philips' high-current/low energy therapy ensures a potent defibrillation dose, while minimizing side effects that are harmful to a fragile heart. So the HeartStart Defibrillator can deliver its most powerful therapy from the very first shock.

Knowing and performing CPR is the best way to assist a heart attack victim to circulate blood and oxygen through the body while the heart is not working, yet its benefits dissipate in seconds.  Using the HeartStart defibrillator to deliver a shock quickly after chest compressions is critical in saving the person.  The HeartStart Defibrillator Quick Shock feature delivers therapy in just 8 seconds (typical) after chest compressions.  Other devices can take 2 or 3 three times that, reducing the likelihood of shock success, and potentially, survival.

During an emergency many people are nervous and can become confused, yet the HeartStart Defibrillator uses clear, natural voice instructions that talk you through each step while it senses and adapts to your unique actions and will coach you through CPR.  The best way to learn CPR is through training often provided by the Red Cross or local hospitals.  But the HeartStart Defibrillator does come with a CPR training video and an American Red Cross training coupon is included.  Although CPR training is a very good idea, the HeartStart Defibrillator is designed for the ordinary person in the extraordinary moment.

Don't put off thinking about maybe getting either CPR training or the HeartStart Home Defibrillator at a later date because emergency situations have no sense of time or place.  Life can be full of surprises and unknown situations which can cause sadness over the loss of a loved one.  Knowing how to save a life with a little training and a HeartStart Home Defibrillator can prevent a lifetime of the agony of regret to the survivor.  Don't let this be you.
