Philips AEDs

🦝 ⚡ Seattle’s newest first responder?

Okay… maybe not.

But Jimothy does have us thinking about an important question:

If someone suddenly collapsed near you, would you know where to find an AED that is up to the task?

In a cardiac emergency, the person who responds first may simply be the person who is already there.

Philips HeartStart AEDs are designed to help guide responders through a rescue with clear, step-by-step instructions, at their pace.

You don’t have to be a healthcare professional to be prepared to help save a life. ❤️

And Jimothy? We’ll let him keep stealing hearts across the internet.

✅ FACT
Some AED manufacturers instruct rescuers to avoid using their devices near puddles or wet surfaces, but Philips HeartStart AEDs are designed to be used on a wet surface.

For Philips HeartStart AEDs, our devices can be used in environments such as:
🏊 Pools
🏟 Stadiums
🏫 Schools
🏭 Workplaces

Simply move the person away from standing water if possible, dry the chest if needed, and follow the AED’s instructions.

❓ Have you ever tried to follow a recipe video, only for the host to move too quickly, leaving you behind and frustrated? Now, imagine that feeling during a life-or-death emergency.

That's the risk with some AEDs. Their fixed audio instructions can easily get out of sync with your actions, which can cause confusion and critical mistakes when every second counts.

Philips HeartStart AEDs help solve this problem by adjusting their voice prompts to your speed, ensuring the guidance you hear matches the step you're on, preventing misalignment, and reducing stress.

Philips Heartstart AEDs are designed to help you act quickly and effectively; technology that works with, not against you.

Some conversations stay with you long after the event ends. 💙

Last week, we had the opportunity to connect with communities across the U.S., each with a shared commitment to improving cardiac emergency preparedness.

One moment stood out above the rest. At the National Athletic Trainers Association Expo in Pennsylvania, an athletic trainer shared that a Philips HeartStart FRx AED helped him save the life of a 17-year-old student who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest playing soccer.

Stories like these remind us why increasing access to AEDs—and confidence to use them—matters every single day.

Knowing where an AED is located before an emergency happens could make all the difference. Take a moment today to find the nearest AED in your workplace, school, or community.

In a cardiac emergency, every second matters. That's why the right AED can make all the difference.

A usability study showed that while some AEDs can be confusing, the Philips HeartStart HS1/OnSite was easily used by untrained responders.

Untrained responders successfully delivered a shock in all completed trials using the Philips HeartStart HS1/OnSite (and another leading device), compared to lower success rates for other devices.

The Philips HeartStart HS1/OnSite also enabled users to deliver a shock faster than other leading AEDs. ⚡

It’s a hard fact to ignore: a person’s chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) drops by 7-10% for every minute that passes without CPR and an AED shock. ⏱️

AEDs are designed to deliver a shock to help restore a normal heart rhythm during SCA.

Philips HeartStart AEDs include user-paced guidance technology, sensing and adapting to your actions in real-time. Calm, clear voice instructions guide you through every step at your pace, helping to improve your emergency response. You don’t need to be a medical professional to help make a difference.

Having an AED could turn a moment of helplessness into a moment of hope.

"He was in peak health."

That's how medical professionals described Jan Patterson—a world-class fencing champion—before he suddenly collapsed from cardiac arrest during training at his Seattle gym.

Despite a lifetime of athletic achievement, sudden cardiac arrest struck without warning.

What saved his life? People who were ready to act.

Fellow gym members immediately began CPR, and a Philips HeartStart AED was used to deliver therapy until emergency responders arrived.

Jan's story is a powerful reminder that sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, regardless of age, physical fitness level, or heart health history. When it does, every second matters.

Knowing CPR and having access to an AED can make the difference between life and death.

💙 Be prepared. Learn CPR. Know where your nearest AED is located. You never know whose life you may save.
