Product Reviews of Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator (AED)
Product Review: Everyone Needs Training
Summary: 4 Stars
An AED is only a small part of the lifesaving required in an emergency situation. If you are going to spend the bucks to buy an AED for your home or office then you better be spending the few dollars more to get the training required to use it properly. It takes more than an AED to save a person's life in case of a heart attack. I have had that training and I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks they have to have this device. Without the training, this device loses much of it's usefulness because CPR is a big part of the lifesaving procedure even with the AED. Just like an air bag in a vehicle is a great thing but it loses it effectiveness when seatbelts are not used in conjunction with it. Of course you can't hurt anyone with it because it won't defib except under the right conditions but you can't help much either without the proper training. Take the training, so that you know ALL the links in the chain of survival that will save a person's life.Product Review: NC Registered Nurse

I'm a critical care nurse and I teach CPR to healthcare professionals. These things are great and improve the survival rate in patients by 40-50%. Get one--it just may save the life of someone you know. And (by the way) they ARE easy enough for everyone to use.Product Review: Get it. Period.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have been in healthcare and Critical care for for almost 30 years. We need more of these in homes and cars. The software and protocols are excellent. Early defibrillation is the key to survival for most people. I use to be an EMT and have been a practicing critical care Respiratory Therapist in emergency rooms and currently work in a Regional Trauma Center. [...]

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.
