Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, striking more than 340,000 victims each year.
SCA can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere and sometimes in extreme conditions. More people die from SCA than from breast
cancer, prostate cancer, house fires, hand guns, traffic accidents and AIDS combined. An additional 40,000 lives could be saved
each year in the U.S. alone with widespread access to defibrillators.1

Why purchase an AED?
- 13% of workplace fatalities are from sudden cardiac arrest2

grounds.
Why purchase a Philips Heartstart AED?
- Easy to Use--HeartStart Defibrillators are specifically designed for the minimally trained lay responder, providing clear, easy-
to-follow voice instructions and a simple user interface to guide the responder through an emergency. - Safe--HeartStart Defibrillators only help—never harm. Our defibrillators are designed so that it is virtually impossible to
“shock” someone who is not in SCA. If there is no SCA, the device will not allow a user to deliver a shock. - Reliable--You can rely on Philips. Our HeartStart Defibrillators are dependable and built to last. They even perform
comprehensive daily, weekly and monthly self-tests to help ensure readiness. A highly visible status indicator shows at a
glance if the device is ready for use. - For Use on Infants and Small Children--HeartStart Defibrillators are the first automated external defibrillators available for
use on children under 8 years old and/or 55 pounds.
