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

Introduction to the HeartStart  
Description  
The HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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.

Training and practice  
The HeartStart 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 on-line at  
NOTE: Training accessories are available from Philips for practicing use of the  
HeartStart. 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  
HeartStart. They 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

Setting up the HeartStart  
Setting-up the HeartStart Defibrillator is simple and quick.  
1. Remove the HeartStart 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 defibrillator, 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  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2-2  
3. Insert the cartridge into the cartridge well on the front of the defibrillator. It  
should 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 defibrillator.  
5. The HeartStart will automatically run a self-test when the battery is inserted.  
Press the Shock button when instructed. When the self-test is over, the  
defibrillator 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 defibrillator will turn off and go to standby mode.  
The green Ready light will be blinking to show the HeartStart is ready  
*
for use.  
NOTE: Always store the HeartStart 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 HeartStart “off” puts it into standby mode,  
which means that it is ready for use.

6. Place the defibrillator 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.  
2
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 HeartStart in accordance with your sites 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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart  
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  
HeartStart. Detailed illustrated directions are inside, for reference in an emergency, or if  
you are hearing impaired or using the HeartStart where it is hard to hear the voice  
instructions.

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 HeartStart 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  
HeartStart, the HeartStart automatically reduces the defibrillation energy to an  
energy level more appropriate for infants and children. In addition, if optional CPR  
coaching is selected, the HeartStart provides coaching appropriate for infants and  
children. Directions for using the Infant/Child SMART Pads are provided in  
Chapter 3, “Using the HeartStart.”

Using the HeartStart  
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  
3
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  
HeartStart. If you are alone, follow these steps:  
Call your emergency services provider.  
Quickly get the HeartStart and bring it to the victim’s side. If there is any  
delay in getting the defibrillator, check the patient and perform  
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if needed until the HeartStart is  
available.  
If the patient is an infant or child, first perform CPR, then call for  
emergency medical services (EMS) before you apply the HeartStart. See  
special section on treating infants and children on page 3-5.  
Check the immediate environment for flammable gases. Do not use the  
HeartStart in the presence of flammable gases, such as an oxygen tent.  
However, it is safe to use the HeartStart on someone wearing an oxygen  
mask.  
There are three basic steps to using the defibrillator 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 patients bare skin.  
3. PRESS the flashing Shock button  
if instructed.  
The following pages provide details about each step.

STEP 1: PULL the green handle  
*
Turn on the HeartStart by pulling the SMART Pads Cartridges green handle.  
Remove the hard cover from the pads cartridge and set it aside. Remain calm and  
follow the HeartStart’s instructions.  
The HeartStart starts by directing you to remove all clothes from the patient’s  
chest. If necessary, rip or cut off the clothing to bare the person’s chest  
* You can also turn on the HeartStart Defibrillator by pressing the green On/Off button.

STEP 2: PLACE the pads  
Pull the tab at the top of the pads cartridge to peel off the film seal. Inside are two  
adhesive pads on a plastic liner. Remove the pads from the cartridge.  
3
Peel one pad off the liner. Place the pad on the patient’s bare skin, exactly as shown  
in the picture on the pad. Press the pad down firmly. Then repeat this with the other  
pad. Be sure the pads have been removed from the liner before placing them.

3-4  
STEP 3: PRESS the Shock button  
As soon as the HeartStart 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 defibrillator 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 defibrillator tells you that the shock has been  
delivered. Then the HeartStart tells you it is safe to touch the patient, instructs  
you to begin CPR, and invites you to press the flashing blue i-button  
Coaching if desired.  
for CPR  
If a shock is not needed:  
The HeartStart 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 HeartStart invites you to press the flashing  
blue i-button  
for CPR Coaching, if desired.  
For CPR Coaching:  
Press the flashing blue i-button  
during the first 30 seconds of the patient care  
*
pause to activate CPR Coaching. (If the Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge is  
inserted, CPR Coaching will provide coaching for infant/child CPR.) When the  
pause is over, the defibrillator tells you to stop CPR, so it can analyze the patient’s  
heart rhythm. The motion caused by CPR can interfere with analysis, so be sure to  
stop all motion when instructed.  
* The default configuration for the HeartStart provides CPR Coaching when you press the  
i-button in this situation; however, the default setting can be revised by your Medical  
Director using Philips software available separately. See Appendix F for more  
information.

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  
HeartStart.  
• If no bystander is available, provide 1-2 minutes of CPR before calling EMS  
and retrieving the HeartStart.  
• If you witnessed the child's collapse, call EMS immediately and then get the  
HeartStart.  
3
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.  
If the patient is under 55 pounds or 8 years old, and you have an Infant/Child Pads  
Cartridge:  
*
Remove the Infant/Child Pads Cartridge from its package.  
Locate the latch at the top edge of the defibrillator, 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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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.

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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart 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 stored in  
the HeartStart. To hear the summary data, hold down the i-button until the  
HeartStart 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 HeartStart to service, to be sure it is ready for use.  
* See Chapter 4, “After using the HeartStart” for details about data storage.

Remove any medicine patches and residual adhesive from the patient’s chest  
Reminders  
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.  
3
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 HeartStart 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 HeartStart will pause briefly to allow you to deal with the  
source of the noise, then resume analysis.  
The HeartStart 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 defibrillator 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 HeartStart will  
continue to analyze the heart rhythm. If the patients rhythm changes before  
you press the Shock button, and a shock is no longer needed, the  
defibrillator will disarm and tell you a shock is not advised.  
If for any reason you want to turn off the defibrillator 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.

After using the HeartStart  
After each use  
1. Check the outside of the HeartStart for signs of damage, dirt, or  
contamination. If you see signs of damage, contact Philips for technical  
support. If the defibrillator 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 HeartStart. 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.” The single-use pads must  
be replaced after being used.

3. Unless your protocol requires that the battery remain installed, remove the  
battery for five seconds, then reinstall it to run the battery insertion self-test  
*
to check the operation of the defibrillator. When the test is complete, check  
that the green Ready light is blinking.  
4. Return the HeartStart to its storage location so it will be ready for use when  
needed.  
HeartStart data storage  
The HeartStart 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  
* If you leave the battery in the HeartStart 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.

The information automatically stored by the HeartStart 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 defibrillator by holding the i-  
button down until it beeps once. The HeartStart 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 HeartStarts status (entire incident)  
the HeartStarts rhythm analysis decisions (entire incident)  
the elapsed time associated with stored events (entire incident)  
* The HeartStart 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  
defibrillator retains the files. When the battery is reinstalled, the last-use ECG recording  
will be kept in defibrillator 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.

Maintaining the HeartStart  
Routine Maintenance  
The HeartStart is very simple to maintain. The defibrillator performs a self-test  
every day. In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run whenever a battery is  
installed in the device. The defibrillator’s extensive automatic self-test features  
eliminate the need for any manual calibration. The HeartStart has no user-  
serviceable parts.  
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the HeartStart, remove its  
covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the  
HeartStart. If repair is required, return the HeartStart to Philips for service.  
Reminders:  
• Do not leave the HeartStart without a pads cartridge installed; the  
defibrillator will start chirping and the i-button will start flashing. For  
directions on changing the pads cartridge, see Chapter 2, “Setting up the  
HeartStart.”  
5
• The HeartStart runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is  
blinking, it is not necessary to test the defibrillator by initiating a battery  
insertion self-test. This uses battery power and risks draining the battery  
prematurely.  
Periodic checks  
Other than the checks recommended after each use of the HeartStart,  
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 defibrillator. If you see cracks or other signs of  
damage, contact Philips for technical support.

5-2  
Cleaning the HeartStart  
The outside of the HeartStart 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 HeartStart.  
Do not immerse the HeartStart in fluids or allow fluids to spill onto it.  
Do not sterilize the defibrillator or its accessories.  
Disposing of the HeartStart  
The HeartStart and its accessories should be disposed of in accordance with local  
regulations.  
Troubleshooting tips  
The HeartStarts green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the defibrillator is  
ready for use.  
If the Ready light is blinking: The HeartStart 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 HeartStart is in use or running a self-test.  
If the Ready light is off, the HeartStart 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 HeartStart is not chirping and the i-button  
is not flashing: there is no battery inserted, the battery is depleted, or the  
defibrillator needs repair. Insert/replace battery and run the self-test. As  
long as the HeartStart passes the self-test, you can be assured it is ready  
for use.

rhythm analysis and is on solid when a shock is advised, as a reminder not to touch  
the patient.  
The settings for all operating options of the HeartStart Defibrillator, including  
treatment protocol. The factory default configuration can be modified by  
authorized personnel using HeartStart Event Review software.  
CPR  
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A technique for providing artificial respiration and  
heart compressions.  
CPR Coaching  
Basic verbal instructions for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including  
hand placement, rescue breathing, compression depth and timing, provided by the  
HeartStart when the flashing blue i-button is pressed during the first 30 seconds of  
a patient care pause.

Electrocardiogram, a record of the electrical rhythm of the heart as detected  
through defibrillation pads.  
B-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
B-2  
fibrillation  
A 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 Review  
A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to  
review and analyze HeartStart Defibrillator patient use and by authorized  
personnel to alter HeartStart configuration. Information is available from Philips  
eventreview.  
i-button  
A blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart Defibrillator. If the  
i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the  
HeartStart provides CPR Coaching; if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing  
*
and the HeartStart is chirping, the HeartStart provides troubleshooting guidance.  
At other times, if the i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the  
HeartStart 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 Defibrillator and a computer  
running HeartStart Event Review software.  
NSA  
“No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the HeartStart Defibrillator that a shock  
is not needed, based on analysis of the patients heart rhythm.  
NSA pause  
A pause provided by the HeartStart Defibrillator 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 defibrillator performs no background  
monitoring of patient rhythm. During a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator  
conducts background monitoring and, if it detects an artifact-free shockable  
rhythm, will exit the pause and begin rhythm analysis. If the HeartStart 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 defibrillator will not exit the pause for  
rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be completed uninterrupted.  
non-shockable rhythm  
On/Off button  
A heart rhythm that the HeartStart Defibrillator determines is not appropriate for  
defibrillation.  
A green button located on the front of the HeartStart Defibrillator. Pressing the  
On/Off button when the defibrillator is in standby mode turns the defibrillator on;  
pressing and holding the On/Off button for one second when the defibrillator is on  
turns the defibrillator off and disarms the defibrillator. In addition, pressing the

A sequence of operations performed by the HeartStart Defibrillator to direct  
patient care in the AED mode.  
protocol pause  
A pause provided by the HeartStart Defibrillator after a shock series, during which  
the responder can administer CPR. The defibrillator does not conduct background  
monitoring of the patients heart rhythm during this pause.  
Ready light  
A green LED showing the readiness for use of the HeartStart Defibrillator. A  
blinking Ready light means the defibrillator is ready for use; a solid Ready light  
means the defibrillator is being used.  
rhythm analysis  
Shock button  
See “SMART analysis.”  
An orange button with a lightning bolt symbol on it, located on the front of the  
HeartStart Defibrillator. The Shock button flashes when a shock is advised. You  
must press the button for the shock to be delivered.

Warnings and precautions  
It is important to understand how to use your HeartStart 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 HeartStart, loss of data stored in the HeartStart, or less chance of  
successful defibrillation.  
NOTE: The HeartStart Defibrillator is designed to be used only with Philips-  
approved accessories. The HeartStart may perform improperly if non-  
approved accessories are used.  
D
Warnings  
flammable gases  
If the HeartStart 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 HeartStart on someone wearing an oxygen mask.)  
battery  
fluids  
The HeartStart M5070A battery is not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge,  
open, crush, or burn the battery, or it may explode or catch fire.  
Do not let fluids get into the HeartStart. Avoid spilling any fluids on the HeartStart  
or its accessories. Spilling fluids into the HeartStart may damage it or cause a fire  
or shock hazard. Do not sterilize the HeartStart or its accessories.  
accessories  
Using damaged or expired equipment or accessories may cause the HeartStart  
Defibrillator to perform improperly, and/or injure the patient or the user.  
patient handling  
Performing CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient while the HeartStart  
is analyzing heart rhythm can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. If the  
HeartStart 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 HeartStart time to reconfirm the analysis before  
telling you to press the Shock button.  
cell phones  
The HeartStart 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 HeartStart. However, it is best to keep  
such equipment only as close as necessary to the patient and the HeartStart.

D-2  
pads  
Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that are in  
contact with the patient.  
Precautions  
device handling  
The HeartStart was designed to be sturdy and reliable for many different use  
conditions. However, handling the HeartStart too roughly can damage it or its  
accessories and will invalidate the warranty. Check the HeartStart and accessories  
regularly for damage, according to directions.  
maintenance  
skin burns  
Improper maintenance may damage the HeartStart or cause it to function  
improperly. Maintain the HeartStart according to directions.  
Do 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 patients  
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 handling  
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 protection. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with  
metal objects such as a bed frame or stretcher.

Once charged, the defibrillator will disarm if:  
• the patients heart rhythm changes to non-shockable rhythm,  
• a shock is not delivered within 30 seconds after the defibrillator has charged  
for shock delivery,  
• the On/Off button is pressed and held down for at least one (1) second to  
turn off the defibrillator,  
• the adhesive pads are removed from the patient or the pads cartridge is  
disconnected from the defibrillator,

category  
function  
Evaluates impedance of adhesive pads for proper contact with the patients skin,  
and evaluates the ECG rhythm and signal quality to determine if a shock is  
appropriate.  
shockable rhythms  
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and some ventricular tachycardias associated with a  
lack of circulation, including ventricular flutter and polymorphic ventricular  
tachycardia (VT). The HeartStart uses multiple parameters to determine if a  
rhythm is shockable.  
NOTE: For patient safety reasons, some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms  
may not be interpreted as shockable VF rhythms. Also, some VT rhythms usually  
associated with circulation will not be interpreted as shockable rhythms.  
non-shockable rhythms  
SMART Analysis is designed to detect non-shockable rhythms as defined by  
AHA/AAMI DF-80. See following table. On detection of any non-shockable  
rhythm, the HeartStart prompts user to perform CPR if needed.  
pacemaker detection  
artifact detection  
Pacemaker artifact is removed from the signal for rhythm analysis.  
If electrical “noise” (artifact) is detected which interferes with accurate rhythm  
analysis, analysis will be delayed until the ECG signal is clean.

analysis protocol  
Depending on results of analysis, either prepares for shock delivery or provides  
a pause. For details of protocol, see Appendix F, Configuration.”

Testing and troubleshooting  
Testing  
As long as a battery is installed, the HeartStart Defibrillator automatically tests  
itself every day and alerts you if it finds a problem. The self-test includes pads  
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,  
tests.  
You can also test the defibrillator 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 defibrillator is first put into service.  
after each time the defibrillator is used to treat a patient.  
when the battery is replaced.  
when the defibrillator may have been damaged.  
If you need to use the defibrillator in an emergency while you are running a  
battery self-test, pull the SMART Pads cartridge handle to stop the test and to turn  
on the HeartStart for use.  
Troubleshooting  
The HeartStarts green Ready light is the signal that tells you if the defibrillator is  
ready for use. The defibrillator also uses chirps and the i-button flashes to alert  
you to a problem.

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.  
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  
HeartStart is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HeartStart should be observed to verify normal operation. If  
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HeartStart.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF  
communications equipment and the HeartStart  
The HeartStart is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which  
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the  
HeartStart can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a  
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment  
(transmitters) and the HeartStart as recommended below, according to the  
maximum output power of the communications equipment.

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.

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 defibrillator 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  
The HeartStart 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  
HeartStart takes <20 seconds, typical, including analysis. After 15 shocks, the  
HeartStart takes <30 seconds from analyzing to ready-to-shock. After 200 shocks,  
the HeartStart takes <40 seconds from initial power-on to ready-to-shock.
