Answers for your questions

Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Q: What causes SCA?

A: SCA occurs when the electrical system of the heart becomes chaotic, causing it to stop beating effectively. Lacking proper blood flow, the person becomes unresponsive and stops breathing normally. CPR is important, but it alone cannot restore a normal heart rhythm. A shock from a defibrillator is the most effective way to restore the heart’s normal pumping rhythm.

Technique

Q: What if I don’t know the proper technique?

A: OnSite’s acts as your personal coach to guide you through the process of treating a victim of suspected sudden cardiac arrest. OnSite provides real-time guidance through simple, step-by-step voice commands and CPR coaching.

Q: How soon must the defibrillator shock be administered?

A: The person’s best chance of survival is to receive that shock within 3-5 minutes of collapse. A defibrillator will not save every person who experiences SCA, but more lives could be saved if those affected were reached more quickly. Your quick response makes a real difference.

Q: How do I know if a shock is needed?

A: The defibrillator assesses the patient’s heart rhythm. If a shock is advised, it directs you to press the flashing orange Shock button. If the defibrillator determines that a shock is not called for, you cannot deliver a shock, even if you press the Shock button.

Q: What if I don’t know where to put the pads?

A: The SMART Pads cartridge contains two adhesive pads that have pictures on them to show you where to place the pads on the person’s bare skin, and voice instructions will remind you to look at the pictures. The pads are “smart” because they sense when they have been removed from the cartridge, peeled from their liners, and applied to the patient, causing the voice instruction to adjust to your actions. 

Q: What do I tell the professionals when they arrive?

A: They will know what questions to ask you. If an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responder needs a summary of care, it can be retrieved from the defibrillator’s internal memory. The EMS provider simply presses the i-button, and OnSite will verbally recount events from its last clinical use.

Technology

Q: How does OnSite assess heart rhythm?

A: OnSite includes highly proven Philips technology for heart rhythm assessment, called SMART Analysis. SMART Analysis is a sophisticated algorithm that simultaneously evaluates several attributes of a person’s heart rhythm to determine if the rhythm is shockable.

Q: How does OnSite know how much energy to deliver?

A: A technology called SMART Biphasic Impedance Compensation helps OnSite deliver the optimal amount of current and energy. Smart Biphasic is the first biphasic therapy with sufficient evidence to be classed “standard of care” and “intervention of choice” by the American Heart Association.12-17 SMART Analysis and SMART Biphasic’s effectiveness are backed by over 40 published, peer-reviewed studies.

Training

Q: Is training available?

A: Yes. A special training SMART Pads cartridge can be installed in the defibrillator. It disables the defibrillator’s ability to shock, while walking you through patient care scenarios. We also offer easily accessible, online training that discusses everything from setting up an AED program to replacing your defibrillator’s battery.
