The cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is not well understood. Many victims have no history of heart disease, or if heart disease is present, it has not functionally impaired them. Unlike a heart attack, many victims of SCA have no prior symptoms. SCA can strike anyone, at any time, anywhere.
The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is 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 all give you peace of mind so that you can focus on life's good things.
The Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator provides clear, calm voice instructions talk you through each step. HeartStart senses and adapts the instructions based on your actions. Using sophisticated technology, HeartStart quickly decides whether a shock is necessary. It is designed to only deliver a shock if needed. It will even coach you through the steps of CPR. For the best chance of survival from SCA caused by VF(ventricular fibrillation), 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.
Facts you need to know about adult SCA:
- For the best chance of survival, a defibrillator should be applied within 5 minutes.
- Less than 5% of SCA victims survive. This is largely because defibrillators don't reach them in time.

HeartStart user considerations:

If you have concerns about your health or an existing medical condition, talk to your doctor. A defibrillator is not a replacement for seeking medical advice.
