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
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.

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.
*
2
* 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.

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.
2
* 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.”

3USING 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.
