IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are directly related to how soon victims receive treatment. For every minute of delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%.

Treatment cannot assure survival. In some victims, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not survivable despite any available care.

1 INTRODUCTION TO THE HEARTSTART

DESCRIPTION

The Philips HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator M5066A is part of the Philips HeartStart HS1 family of defibrillators. Small, lightweight, and battery powered, it is designed for simple and reliable operation.

SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST

The OnSite is used to treat the most common causes of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), including ventricular fibrillation (VF). SCA is a condition that occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops pumping. SCA can occur to anyone – infant, child, adult, male or female – anywhere, at any time. Many victims of SCA do not have warning signs or symptoms.

VF is a chaotic quivering of the heart muscle that prevents it from pumping blood. The only effective treatment for VF is defibrillation. The OnSite treats VF by sending a shock across the heart, so it can start beating regularly again. Unless this is successful within the first few minutes after the heart stops beating, the victim is not likely to survive.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The OnSite should be used to treat someone you think may be a victim of SCA. A person in SCA:

• does not respond when shaken, and

• is not breathing normally.

If in doubt, apply the pads. Follow the voice instructions for each step in using the defibrillator.

1-1

TRAINING AND PRACTICE

The OnSite is one part of a well-designed emergency response plan. Any emergency response plan should be under the oversight of a physician and should include training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Philips recommends that you train on the device you will be using.

Several national and local organizations offer combined CPR/defibrillator training. Contact your Philips representative, or visit us online at www.philips.com/ essentials for information, including certified training and web-based refresher training through Philips HeartStart Essentials program management services.

NOTE: Training accessories are available from Philips for practicing use of the OnSite. See Appendix A for information on ordering accessories.

NATIONAL AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Check with your local health department to see if there are any national or local requirements about owning and using a defibrillator.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Contact your local Philips representative for additional information about the OnSite. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and to provide you with copies of the clinical summaries of several key studies using Philips automated external defibrillators.

Technical information about all Philips HeartStart automated external defibrillators is also available online at www.philips.com/productdocumentation in the Technical Reference Manuals for HeartStart Automated External Defibrillators.

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Check the contents of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator M5066A box to be sure it contains:

• 1 HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator

• 1 battery M5070A

• 1 Adult SMART Pads Cartridge M5071A, containing one set of adhesive defibrillation pads

•1 Owner’s Manual

• 1 Quick Reference Guide

• 1 Quick Start poster

Training materials and optional accessories for the HeartStart OnSite are also available from Philips. See Appendix A for a description of these items.

SETTING UP THE HEARTSTART ONSITE

Setting-up the OnSite is simple and quick.

1. Remove the OnSite from its packaging.

2. Remove a new SMART Pads Cartridge from its package.

* To replace a used cartridge or insert a different cartridge,

first locate the latch at the top edge of the OnSite, and slide it to the side. The pads cartridge will be released. Lift out the cartridge and replace as described in steps 2 and 3.

2-1

3. Insert the cartridge into the cartridge well on the front of the OnSite It should

25+ kg

top

back

click into place when properly seated. The green PULL handle should be all the way down.

NOTE: To prevent the pads’ adhesive gel from drying out, do not open the hard cover or film seal of the cartridge until you need to use the pads.

4. Remove the battery from its packaging. Install it in the battery compartment on the back of the OnSite.

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS

5. The OnSite will automatically run a self-test when the battery is inserted. Press the Shock button when instructed. When the self-test is over, the OnSite will report the result, and tell you to push the green On/Off button in case of an emergency. (Do not push the green button unless this is an actual emergency.) Then the OnSite will turn off and go to standby mode. The green Ready light will be blinking to show the OnSite is ready for use.

NOTE: Always store the OnSite with a pads cartridge and a battery installed, so it will be ready to use and can perform daily self-tests.

* As long as a battery is installed, turning the OnSite “off” puts it into standby mode,

which means that it is ready for use.

2-2

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS

6. Place the OnSite in the carry case, pressing it firmly into place. Insert the Quick Reference Guide,

face up, in the clear plastic window on the inside of the case. If you purchased a spare SMART Pads Cartridge or an Infant/Child Pads Cartridge, place it in the storage area in the case.

NOTE: Do not store anything in the defibrillator carry case that it is not designed to accommodate. Store all objects in their intended location in the case.

7. Store the OnSite in accordance with your site’s emergency response protocol. Typically, this will be in a high-traffic area that is easy to access, convenient for checking the Ready light periodically, and easy to hear the alarm chirp if the battery power gets low or the defibrillator needs attention. Ideally, the OnSite should be stored near a telephone, so the Emergency Response Team or Emergency Medical Services can be alerted as fast as possible in the event of a possible SCA. If possible, keep the spare SMART Pads Cartridge and other accessories with the defibrillator – in the carry case if one is used – for quick access when needed. In general, treat the OnSite as you would any piece of electronic equipment, such as a computer. Be sure to store the defibrillator according to its specifications. See Appendix E for details. As long as a battery and a pads cartridge are installed, the green Ready light should be blinking to show that the HeartStart has passed its most recent self-test and is therefore ready to use.

NOTE: If you have a training pads cartridge, it is recommended that you store it separately from the HeartStart, so the training pads cannot be confused with the regular pads in an emergency.

* The illustration on the cover of the Quick Reference Guide is a 3-step guide to using the

OnSite. Detailed illustrated directions are inside, for reference in an emergency, or if you are hearing impaired or using the OnSite where it is hard to hear the voice instructions.

2-3

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

It is always a good idea to have a spare battery and a spare pads set. Other things that are useful to keep with the OnSite include:

• scissors — for cutting the victim’s clothes if needed

• disposable gloves — to protect the user

• a disposable razor — to shave the chest if hair prevents good pads contact

• a pocket mask or face shield — to protect the user

• a towel or absorbent wipes — to dry the victim's skin for good pads contact

Philips has a Fast Response Kit with all these items. See Appendix A for details.

If you may need to defibrillate an infant or a child under 25 kg (55 pounds) or 8 years old, it is recommended that you order the Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge, available separately. When the Infant/Child Pads Cartridge is installed in the OnSite, the OnSite automatically reduces the defibrillation energy to an energy level more appropriate for infants and children. In addition, if optional CPR coaching is selected, the OnSite provides coaching appropriate for infants and children. Directions for using the Infant/Child SMART Pads are provided in Chapter 3, “Using the HeartStart OnSite.”

3 USING THE HEARTSTART ONSITE

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to read the Reminders section at the end of this chapter as well as the warnings and precautions in Appendix D.

OVERVIEW

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS

If you think someone is in SCA, act quickly and calmly. If someone else is available, ask him or her to call for emergency medical assistance while you get the OnSite. If you are alone, follow these steps:

• Call your emergency services provider.

• Quickly get the OnSite and bring it to the victim’s side. If there is any delay in getting the OnSite, check the patient and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if needed until the OnSite is available.

• If the patient is an infant or child, first perform CPR, then call for emergency medical services (EMS) before you apply the OnSite. See special section on treating infants and children on page 3-5.

• Check the immediate environment for flammable gases. Do not use the OnSite in the presence of flammable gases, such as an oxygen tent. However, it is safe to use the OnSite on someone wearing an oxygen mask.

There are three basic steps to using the OnSite to treat someone who may be in sudden cardiac arrest:

1. PULL up the handle on the SMART Pads Cartridge.

2. PLACE the pads on the patient’s bare skin.

3. PRESS the flashing Shock button if instructed.

The following pages provide details about each step.

3-1

STEP 1: PULL THE GREEN HANDLE
