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.

1INTRODUCTION 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
Page 14
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.

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.

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.

Page 18
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.”

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.

STEP 3: PRESS THE SHOCK BUTTON
As soon as the OnSite detects that the pads are attached to the patient, it begins
analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm. It tells you that no one should be touching the
patient, and the Caution light begins flashing as a reminder.
If a shock is needed:
The Caution light goes from flashing to solid, the orange Shock button
starts flashing, and the OnSite tells you to press the flashing orange button. Before
you press the button, make sure no one is touching the patient. When you press
the Shock button, the OnSite tells you that the shock has been delivered. Then the
OnSite tells you it is safe to touch the patient, instructs you to begin CPR, and
invites you to press the flashing blue i-button for CPR Coaching if desired.
If a shock is not needed:
The OnSite tells you it is safe to touch the patient and instructs you to perform
CPR if needed. (If CPR is not needed – for example, if the patient is moving or
regaining consciousness – follow your local protocol until emergency medical
personnel arrive.) Then the OnSite invites you to press the flashing blue i-button
for CPR Coaching, if desired.
For CPR Coaching:

TREATING INFANTS AND CHILDREN
WARNING: Most cardiac arrests in children are not caused by heart problems.
When responding to cardiac arrest in an infant or child:
• Provide infant/child CPR while a bystander calls EMS and brings the
OnSite.
• If no bystander is available, provide 1-2 minutes of CPR before calling EMS
and retrieving the OnSite.
• If you witnessed the child's collapse, call EMS immediately and then get the
OnSite.
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.
If the patient is under 55 pounds or 8 years old, and you have an Infant/Child Pads
Cartridge:

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
•Remove the Infant/Child Pads Cartridge from its package.
*
•Locate the latch at the top edge of the OnSite, and slide it to the side.
The pads cartridge will be released. Remove the old cartridge.
•Install the new cartridge: slide the bottom end of the cartridge into the
recess, then press in the cartridge until the latch clicks into place. Be sure
the green handle is pressed down firmly. The OnSite will tell you that
Infant/Child pads have been inserted, then it will turn off to be ready for
use.
•Pull the green handle to start the rescue.
•Remove all clothing from the upper body, to bare both the chest and the
back. Place one pad in the center of the chest between the nipples, and
the other in the center of the back (anterior-posterior).
With the Infant/Child Pads Cartridge inserted, the OnSite automatically reduces
the defibrillation energy from the adult dose of 150 joules to 50 Joules

and
provides optional infant/child CPR Coaching. Place the pads exactly as shown on
the illustration on the pads.
* Philips recommends that the OnSite be stored with an adult pads cartridge installed, as
pediatric cardiac arrest is not common.
† This lower energy level may not be effective for treating an adult.

Page 24
If the patient is under 55 pounds or 8 years old, but you do NOT have an Infant/Child
Pads Cartridge:
•DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.
•Remove all clothing from the torso, to bare both the chest and the back.
•Apply the OnSite using the adult pads cartridge, but place one pad in the
center of the chest between the nipples, and the other in the center of
the back (anterior-posterior).
If the patient is over 55 pounds or 8 years old, or if you are not sure of the exact weight
or age:
•DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.
•Remove all clothing from the chest.
•Apply the OnSite using the adult pads cartridge, and place the pads as
illustrated on the pads (anterior-anterior). Make sure the pads do not
overlap or touch each other.
WHEN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ARRIVE
When Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel arrive to care for the patient,
they may decide to apply another defibrillator to allow monitoring of the patient.
The SMART Pads should be removed from the patient prior to using another
defibrillator. EMS personnel may want a summary of the last-use data
the OnSite. To hear the summary data, hold down the i-button until the OnSite
beeps.
NOTE: After the EMS team removes the SMART Pads from the patient,
remove the used pads cartridge, and insert a new pads cartridge before
returning the OnSite to service, to be sure it is ready for use.

PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
REMINDERS
• Remove any medicine patches and residual adhesive from the patient’s chest
before applying the pads.
• Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that are in
contact with the patient.
• Avoid placing the pads directly over an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. A
noticeable lump with a surgical scar should indicate the position of an
implanted device.
• If the pads do not stick well, check that the pads adhesive has not dried out.
Each pad has a layer of adhesive gel. If the gel is not sticky to the touch,
replace the pads with a new set.
• Keep the patient still and keep any movement around the patient to a
minimum during rhythm analysis. Do not touch the patient or the pads while
the Caution light is on solid or flashing. If the OnSite is unable to analyze due
to electrical “noise” (artifact), it will tell you to stop all movement and remind
you not to touch the patient. If the artifact continues for more than 30
seconds, the OnSite will pause briefly to allow you to deal with the source of
the noise, then resume analysis.
• The OnSite will not deliver a shock unless you press the flashing orange Shock
button. If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds after the
OnSite tells you to, it will disarm itself, and (for the first CPR interval) give a
reminder to make sure emergency medical services have been called, then
begin a CPR interval. This is designed to minimize interruption of CPR and
help ensure ongoing patient support.
• While waiting for you to press the Shock button, the OnSite will continue to
analyze the heart rhythm. If the patient’s rhythm changes before you press the
Shock button, and a shock is no longer needed, the OnSite will disarm and tell
you a shock is not advised.
• If for any reason you want to turn off the OnSite during a use, you can press
the On/Off button – holding it down for at least one second – to return the
device to standby mode.

1.Check the outside of the OnSite for signs of damage, dirt, or contamination. If
you see signs of damage, contact Philips for technical support. If the OnSite is
dirty or contaminated, clean it according to the guidelines in Chapter 5,
“Maintaining the HeartStart.”
2.Insert a new SMART Pads cartridge into the OnSite. Check supplies and
accessories for damage and expiration dates. Replace any used, damaged or
expired items. For directions on changing the pads and replacing the battery,
please see Chapter 2, “Setting up the HeartStart OnSite.” The single-use pads
must be replaced after being used.

ONSITE DATA STORAGE
The OnSite automatically stores data about its last clinical use in its internal
memory. The stored data can be conveniently transferred to a personal computer
or a handheld computer running the appropriate application in the Philips
HeartStart Event Review data management software suite. Event Review software
is for use by trained personnel only. Information about HeartStart Event Review is
available online at www.philips.com/eventreview.
* If you leave the battery in the OnSite after using the defibrillator, then transfer the last-
use data to a computer running HeartStart Event Review software, the software will
calculate the local date and time of the device use. However, if you remove the battery
prior to transferring the data, the software will only show elapsed time.
4-1
Page 28
Follow your local protocol with regard to prompt data transfer for medical review
after using the OnSite.
*
Details about data transfer and timing are provided in
Event Review documentation.
The information automatically stored by the OnSite includes a summary of last-use
data and detailed data about its last clinical use. You can get a voice summary of
information about the last use of the OnSite by holding the i-button down until it
beeps once. The OnSite will tell you how many shocks were delivered and how
long it has been since it was turned on. Summary data are available anytime the
defibrillator is ready for use (the battery and pads are installed, and the
defibrillator is not turned on) or while it is actually in use. Removing the battery
erases the summary data for the last use.
Last-use data stored in internal memory include:
•ECG recordings (a maximum of 15 minutes following pads application
•the elapsed time associated with stored events (entire incident)
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
4-2
* The OnSite automatically stores information about its last clinical use in its internal
memory for at least 30 days, so the data can be downloaded to a computer running
appropriate Event Review software. (If the battery is removed during this period, the
OnSite retains the files. When the battery is reinstalled, the last-use ECG recording will
be kept in OnSite memory for an additional 30 days.) After this time, the last-use ECG
recordings will automatically be erased to prepare for a future use.
† If ECG recordings from a previous use have not been erased, the maximum time for new
ECG recordings may be less.
Page 29
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
5MAINTAINING THE HEARTSTART ONSITE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The OnSite is very simple to maintain. The OnSite performs a self-test every day.
In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run whenever a battery is installed in the
device. The OnSite’s extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for
any manual calibration. The OnSite has no user-serviceable parts.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the OnSite, remove its covers,
or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the OnSite. If
repair is required, return the OnSite to Philips for service.
REMINDERS:
• Do not leave the OnSite without a pads cartridge installed; the OnSite will
start chirping and the i-button will start flashing. For directions on changing
the pads cartridge, see Chapter 2, “Setting up the HeartStart OnSite.”
• The OnSite runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is blinking, it
is not necessary to test the OnSite by initiating a battery insertion self-test.
This uses battery power and risks draining the battery prematurely.
PERIODIC CHECKS
5
Other than the checks recommended after each use of the OnSite, maintenance is
limited to periodically checking the following:
•Check the green Ready light. If the green Ready light is not blinking, see
Troubleshooting Tips, below.
•Replace any used, damaged or expired supplies and accessories
•Check the outside of the OnSite. If you see cracks or other signs of
damage, contact Philips for technical support.
5-1
Page 30
CLEANING THE ONSITE
The outside of the OnSite and its carry case can be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened in soapy water, chlorine bleach (2 tablespoons per quart or liter of
water), or ammonia-based cleaners.
REMINDERS:
• Do not use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, strong solvents such as acetone or
acetone-based cleaners, abrasive materials, or enzymatic cleaners to clean
your OnSite.
• Do not immerse the OnSite in fluids or allow fluids to spill onto it.
• Do not sterilize the OnSite or its accessories.
DISPOSING OF THE ONSITE
The OnSite and its accessories should be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The OnSite’s green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the defibrillator is ready
for use.
•If the Ready light is blinking: The OnSite has passed the battery insertion
self-test and the last periodic self-test and is therefore ready
for use.
•If the Ready light is solid: The OnSite is in use or running a self-test.
•If the Ready light is off, the OnSite is chirping, and the i-button is flashing:
A self-test error has occurred, there is a problem with the pads or the
battery power is low. Press the i-button for instructions.
•If the Ready light is off but the OnSite is not chirping and the i-button is
not flashing: there is no battery inserted, the battery is depleted, or the
OnSite needs repair. Insert/replace battery and run the self-test. As long
as the OnSite passes the self-test, you can be assured it is ready for use.

BGLOSSAR Y OF TERMS
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The terms listed in this Glossary are defined in the context of the Philips
HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator and its use.
AEDAutomated external defibrillator (a semi-automatic defibrillator).
AED modeThe standard treatment mode for the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator. It provides
voice instructions guiding the rescuer through applying the adhesive pads, waiting
for rhythm analysis, and delivering a shock if needed.
analysisSee “SMART analysis.”
arrhythmiaAn unhealthy, often irregular, beating of the heart.
artifactElectrical “noise” caused by sources such as muscle movements, CPR, patient
transport, or static electricity that may interfere with rhythm analysis.
batteryThe sealed lithium manganese dioxide battery used to power the HeartStart
OnSite Defibrillator. It is provided in a pack that fits into a compartment on the
back of the OnSite.
Caution lightA triangular light on the front of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator that flashes
during rhythm analysis and is on solid when a shock is advised, as a reminder not
to touch the patient.
configurationThe settings for all operating options of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator,
including treatment protocol. The factory default configuration can be modified by
authorized personnel using HeartStart Event Review software.
CPRCardiopulmonary resuscitation. A technique for providing artificial respiration and
heart compressions.
B
CPR CoachingBasic verbal instructions for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including
hand placement, rescue breathing, compression depth and timing, provided by the
OnSite when the flashing blue i-button is pressed during the first 30 seconds of a
patient care pause.
defibrillationTermination of cardiac fibrillation by applying electrical energy.
ECGElectrocardiogram, a record of the electrical rhythm of the heart as detected
through defibrillation pads.
fibrillationA disturbance of the normal heart rhythm that results in chaotic, disorganized
activity that cannot effectively pump blood. Ventricular fibrillation (fibrillation in the
lower chambers of the heart) is associated with sudden cardiac arrest.

HeartStart Event ReviewA suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to
review and analyze HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator patient use and by authorized
personnel to alter OnSite configuration. Information is available from Philips
Medical Systems on the internet at www.philips.com/eventreview.
i-buttonA blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator. If
the i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause,
*
the OnSite provides CPR Coaching;
if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing
and the OnSite is chirping, the OnSite provides troubleshooting guidance. At other
times, if the i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the OnSite provides
summary information about its last clinical use and device status. When the
i-button is on solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely touch the patient.
infrared
communications
A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It is
used to transmit information between the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator and a
computer running HeartStart Event Review software.
NSA“No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator that a
shock is not needed, based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
NSA pauseA pause provided by the OnSite following an NSA decision. The pause can be
configured to a “standard” NSA pause or a “SMART” NSA pause. During a
standard NSA pause the OnSite performs no background monitoring of patient
rhythm. During a SMART NSA pause, the OnSite conducts background monitoring
and, if it detects an artifact-free shockable rhythm, will exit the pause and begin
rhythm analysis. If the OnSite detects artifact such as that created by CPR, or if the
user presses the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause, the
OnSite will not exit the pause for rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be
completed uninterrupted.
non-shockable rhythmA heart rhythm that the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator determines is not
appropriate for defibrillation.
On/Off buttonA green button located on the front of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator.
Pressing the On/Off button when the OnSite is in standby mode turns the OnSite
on; pressing and holding the On/Off button for one second when the OnSite is on
turns the OnSite off and disarms the defibrillator. In addition, pressing the On/Off
button stops the battery insertion self-test that automatically runs when a battery
is inserted.
padsSee “SMART pads.”
patient care pauseA defined pause to allow patient assessment, treatment, and/or CPR. See “NSA
pause” and “protocol pause.”

DWARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
It is important to understand how to use your HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator
safely. Please read these warnings and precautions carefully.
A warning describes something that could cause serious personal injury or death.
A precaution describes something that could cause minor personal injury,
damage to the OnSite, loss of data stored in the OnSite, or less chance of
successful defibrillation.
NOTE: The HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator is designed to be used only with
Philips-approved accessories. The OnSite may perform improperly if nonapproved accessories are used.
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
WARNINGS
D
flammable gasesIf the OnSite is used to give a shock in the presence of flammable gases such as in
an oxygen tent, there is a risk of explosion. Move supplemental oxygen and oxygen
delivery devices away from the defibrillation pads. (However, it is safe to use the
OnSite on someone wearing an oxygen mask.)
batteryThe HeartStart M5070A battery is not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge,
open, crush, or burn the battery, or it may explode or catch fire.
fluidsDo not let fluids get into the OnSite. Avoid spilling any fluids on the OnSite or its
accessories. Spilling fluids into the OnSite may damage it or cause a fire or shock
hazard. Do not sterilize the OnSite or its accessories.
accessoriesUsing damaged or expired equipment or accessories may cause the OnSite to
perform improperly, and/or injure the patient or the user.
patient handlingPerforming CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient while the OnSite is
analyzing heart rhythm can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. If the OnSite
tells you a shock is advised while you are handling or moving the patient, stop the
vehicle or CPR and keep the patient as still as possible for at least 15 seconds. This
will give the OnSite time to reconfirm the analysis before telling you to press the
Shock button.
cell phonesThe OnSite can work correctly when it is fairly close to equipment like emergency
two-way radios and cell phones. Normally, using a cell phone near the patient
should not cause a problem for the OnSite. However, it is best to keep such
equipment only as close as necessary to the patient and the OnSite.
D-1
Page 42
padsDo not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that are in
contact with the patient.
PRECAUTIONS
device handlingThe OnSite was designed to be sturdy and reliable for many different use
conditions. However, handling the OnSite too roughly can damage it or its
accessories and will invalidate the warranty. Check the OnSite and accessories
regularly for damage, according to directions.
maintenanceImproper maintenance may damage the OnSite or cause it to function improperly.
Maintain the OnSite according to directions.
skin burnsDo not let the pads touch each other or other electrodes, lead wires, dressings,
medicine patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and skin burns
during a shock and may also divert the electrical current away from the patient’s
heart. During a shock, air pockets between the skin and pads can cause skin burns.
To help prevent air pockets, make sure pads stick well to the skin. Do not use
dried out pads because they will not provide good contact with the skin.
patient handlingBefore delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from other
medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may not incorporate
defibrillation protection. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with
metal objects such as a bed frame or stretcher.

readiness testing. In addition, it runs a pads self-test each time a pads cartridge is
inserted. It alerts you if it finds a problem. See the Technical Reference Manual,
available online at www.philips.com/productdocumentation, for a detailed
discussion of the self-tests.
You can also test the OnSite at any time by removing the battery for five seconds
then reinstalling it. This test takes about one minute. Because the battery insertion
self-test is very detailed and uses battery power, running it more often than
necessary will drain the battery prematurely. It is recommended that you run the
battery insertion self-test only:
•when the OnSite is first put into service.
•after each time the OnSite is used to treat a patient.
•when the battery is replaced.
•when the OnSite may have been damaged.
If you need to use the OnSite in an emergency while you are running a battery selftest, pull the SMART Pads cartridge handle to stop the test and to turn on the
HeartStart for use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The OnSite’s green Ready light is the signal that tells you if the OnSite is ready for
use. The OnSite also uses chirps and the i-button flashes to alert you to a
problem.
RECOMMENDED ACTION DURING AN EMERGENCY
If for any reason the OnSite does not turn on when you pull the SMART Pads
cartridge handle, press the On/Off button.
If that does not turn on the OnSite, remove the battery and replace it with a new
battery if available and press the On/Off button to turn on the OnSite. If no spare
G-1

battery is available, remove the installed battery for five seconds, then reinsert it
and run a battery insertion self-test.
If the problem continues, do not use the OnSite. Attend to the patient, providing
CPR if needed, until Emergency Medical Services Personnel arrive.

The
recommended separation distances
for various transmitters and the AED
are shown in the following table.
Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
NOTE 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
a. Generally, AEDs are sometimes susceptible to interference generated by patient and/or responder motion in environments in which a high
static electric field is present (e.g., low humidity, synthetic carpets, etc.). As a safety measure, Philips AEDs incorporate a patented method
to sense possible corruption of the ECG signal by such interference and to respond by directing the user to stop all motion. In these cases,
it is important to minimize movement in the vicinity of the patient during rhythm analysis in order to ensure that the signal being analyzed
accurately reflects the patient’s underlying heart rhythm.
b. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medial) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz;
26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
c. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment
due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
OnSite is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the OnSite should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the OnSite.

RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN PORTABLE
AND MOBILE RF COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND THE ONSITE
The OnSite is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the OnSite
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the OnSite as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of
the communications equipment.
separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m)

1006.011.5
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d
in meters (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is
the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2. The ISM (industrial, scientific and medial) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to
6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
NOTE 3. An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for
transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to
2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if
it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
NOTE 4. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND REMINDERS
•Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that
are in contact with the patient.
•Before delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from
other medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may
not incorporate defibrillation protections. In addition, make sure the pads
are not in contact with metal objects such as a bedframe or stretcher.
•Check supplies, accessories, packaging, and spares for damage and
expiration dating.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
•The OnSite contains electronic components. Dispose of it at an
appropriate recycling facility.
•The battery cells contain chemicals. Recycle the battery at an appropriate
recycling facility.
•The used pads may be contaminated. Cut them off and dispose of them
properly. Recycle the remaining cartridge components at an appropriate
recycling facility.
SHOCK CYCLE TIMING
PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
H-4
The OnSite’s Quick Shock feature allows it to deliver a shock within 8 seconds,
typical, following the prompt ending a CPR Interval. From shock to shock, the
OnSite takes <20 seconds, typical, including analysis. After 15 shocks, the OnSite
takes <30 seconds from analyzing to ready-to-shock. After 200 shocks, the OnSite
takes <40 seconds from initial power-on to ready-to-shock.
