FAQs About Philips HeartStart HS1 AED:

How does the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED help in an emergency?

The Philips HeartStart HS1 AED analyzes the patient’s heart rhythm. If a shockable rhythm is detected, it instructs the user to deliver a shock to help restore a normal heartbeat.

How quickly should the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED be used after collapse?

According to Philips, the best chance of survival is when a shock is delivered within 3–5 minutes of the victim’s collapse. The HS1 AED is designed to be used quickly and easily, even by non-professionals.

What is a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)?

A sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions, causing the heart to stop beating effectively. It leads to an abrupt loss of responsiveness and normal breathing. Immediate action with a device like the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED can be lifesaving.

Is the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED easy to use for untrained individuals?

Yes, it is. The HS1 AED is designed for laypersons, offering step-by-step guidance and adaptive prompts to ensure proper use during high-stress situations.

What if I don’t know the correct technique to use the AED?

The Philips HeartStart HS1 AED acts as a personal guide. It gives clear instructions and adjusts its prompts based on your actions to help you stay on track throughout the rescue process.

Can I harm someone by using the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED incorrectly?

No, you cannot. The AED only advises a shock if the device detects a shockable rhythm. If the patient does not need a shock, it will not allow one to be delivered.

What happens if I make a mistake during the process?

The HS1 AED is built with safeguards. It will not proceed with shock delivery unless necessary, and will guide you with repeated and rephrased prompts if you're off track.

How does the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED determine when a shock is needed?

It uses Philips' SMART Analysis technology to evaluate the heart rhythm and only recommends a shock if it’s clinically required, ensuring safety and precision

What are SMART Pads in the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED?

SMART Pads are special electrode pads that communicate with the AED. They detect pad placement and adjust instructions accordingly, helping the device adapt to the user’s pace and actions.

How do I know if the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED is ready to use?

The device performs daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests. A flashing green "Ready" light means the HS1 is operational and ready for a rescue.

How often should the SMART Pads be replaced?

Philips recommends replacing the pads every two years. The expiration date is printed on each cartridge for easy tracking.

What is the battery life of the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED?

The battery has a typical standby life of up to 4 years when installed and maintained properly, with a minimum capacity of 200 shocks or 4 hours of use.

How will I know when to replace the battery?

If the battery needs replacing, the device will give a visual and audible alert. You can also press the blue “i-button” to check system status and review battery condition.

Does the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED adjusted for use on children?

Yes. When the Infant/Child SMART Pads are connected, the HS1 AED automatically adjusts its shock energy and CPR instructions to suit pediatric patients under 25 kg or under 8 years of age.

What is the difference between the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED and the FRx model?

The FRx AED is designed for rugged environments and offers a higher level of protection against dust and water. The HS1 AED, by contrast, is ideal for schools, homes, offices, and most indoor public spaces.

Is sudden cardiac arrest the same as a heart attack?

No. A heart attack is caused by a blockage that stops blood flow to the heart, while SCA is an electrical malfunction that causes the heart to stop beating. The Philips HeartStart HS1 AED is designed specifically to treat SCA, not heart attacks.
