Philips – Defibrillators

The foundations of Philips were laid in 1891 when Anton and Gerard Philips established Philips & Co. in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company begun manufacturing carbon-filament lamps and by the turn of the century, had become one of the largest producers in Europe. By 1910, with 2,000 employees, Philips was the largest single employer in The Netherlands.

Stimulated by the industrial revolution in Europe, Philips’ first research laboratory was established in 1914 and the company started introducing its first innovations in the x-ray and radio technology. Over the years, the list of inventions has only been growing to include many breakthroughs that have continued to enrich people’s everyday lives.

In 2002 Philips launched the Home Heartstart AED. One of the most popular AED’s to grace the market being well regarded for its ease of use and reliability.

How to Use a Philips Defibrillator

Operating a Philips defibrillator is designed to be straightforward, even for first-time users. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, begin by switching on the Philips AED (either by pressing the green 'On' button or opening the device’s lid, depending on the model). The device will immediately deliver clear voice prompts guiding you through each step. Attach the Philips HeartStart defibrillator pads to the patient’s bare chest as shown in the diagrams provided. The AED automatically analyses the heart rhythm and determines whether a shock is required. Follow the instructions to stand clear, then press the shock button when advised. Philips AEDs provide CPR guidance, including prompts and an audible metronome, helping you deliver effective chest compressions until emergency services arrive. With their intuitive interface, safety features, and adaptive prompts, Philips AEDs empower any user to take decisive action during a cardiac emergency.

How to Check Your Philips Defibrillator is Working and Ready for an Emergency

Maintaining the readiness of your Philips AED is straightforward, ensuring your device is always prepared for a sudden cardiac arrest emergency. Begin by inspecting the visual 'Ready' indicator; this should flash green, confirming the device is ready for use. Each Philips HeartStart defibrillator automatically performs daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests, checking the internal circuitry, battery, and pads. Manually check the battery indicator and verify the expiry date printed on both the Philips defibrillator battery and pads. Pads must be replaced if the expiry date has passed or if the packaging is compromised. It is also recommended to inspect the physical condition of the device regularly for any damage. Philips’ comprehensive built-in diagnostic systems provide complete peace of mind.
