Product Reviews of Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator (AED)
Product Review: $1500 buys a lot of other lifesavers too...
Summary: 4 Stars
There is no question that AEDs work great and save lives. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up.
Something to consider though, is that $1500 would buy you a pretty nice treadmill, a lot of months at a health club, or many boxes of nicotine patches to quit smoking. You will be better served in the long run if you invest your time in PREVENTING cardiac arrest in the first place by cutting your risk factors.. exercise and smoking are two of the biggest.
For those with confirmed history of cardiac problems, this may be a good purchase. Other people may want to consider some of these other suggestions. Don't take my word though, talk to your own physician before you make an investment like this.
Product Review: A great idea!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a home defibrillator is great for those who can afford it, especially dentist offices (often heart attacks can cause tooth/jaw pain), and residences with seniors. Last I checked, chances of survival following cardiac arrest drop approximately 10% per minute without treatment. Unlike cpr, defibrillators don't just keep the blood oxygenated and circulating but can actually bring the heart back into a normal sinus rhythm.Product Review: A lifesaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an EMT and I have used this particular device almost 20 times and having has helped me save 7 all of whom have recovered completely. This is one of the greatest lifesaving tools to ever be invented, besides CPR, or course.Product Review: A possible life saver.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the more unlikely products to come along, as a few other reviewers have sort of stated in their - other uses for - reviews :-). Reminds of the scene in 24, season 2, in which the President has to extract information from one of his associates.
That said, this looks to be a remarkable product that not long ago required medical training in the use of, and very deep pockets to afford. This should catch on well in the UK , where Scotland and Northern Ireland rank top of the list for heart attacks.
Product Review: AED Professional
Summary: 5 Stars
This Philips HeartStart OnSite Heart Defibrillator is the ONLY AED on the market which the FDA does NOT require a physician's prescription in order to purchase. Safe and easy-to-use, the Philips OnSite AED is ideal for the lay-responder. In the event of a medical emergency, having the Philips OnSite AED readily available could mean the difference between life-and-death.
