Customer Reviews of Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator (AED)
Customer 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.
Customer Review: DON'T compare to long term health
Summary: 5 Stars
A reviewer wrote that $1500 can buy a treadmill or patches to quit smoking, and advised that your money's better spent preventing cardiac arrest. This is dangerous, ignorant advice. That type of advice is better served in the junk food/health section. This is an EMERGENCY device. It's like a holistic doctor going into an emergency room trauma center and starting to give advice that the hundred thousands of dollars of equipment would be better spent on vitamins and a gym!!
Customer Review: I'm Trained And Prepared
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally ignorant about human physiology until I took the "HeartSaver AED" class. Now I know to operate an AED and I understand CPR. I was amazed when I read that HeartStart is the first heart defibrillator available for home use without a prescription. I want to be prepared for sudden cardiac arrest, since heart disease runs in my wife's family. Hopefully if I ever do have to call 911 and she has to wait for an ambulance to arrive, I can increase her chances of survival.Customer Review: Could be the most important thing you buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great to see. I worked as a lifeguard and we used HeartStart AED's in our facility and they could mean the difference between life and death in a cardiac arrest situation. Parents, they could save your child's life in a swimming accident. It also could make the difference with elderly when a sudden heart attack occurs. Death is certain after only five minutes without oxygen. Sometimes the ambulance just won't be fast enough. Take it into your own hands!Customer Review: Please don't buy one without taking a training class!
Summary: 5 Stars
AED's don't save lives, people trained to use AED's save lives. If you don't take the time to learn how to use these devices in emergency situations, you might as well not use it, because you will most likely use it wrong! That won't save a life. You may not know that you have to expose the victim's chest bare to apply the pads, or where to apply the pads.
These are very simple devices that WHEN USED PROPERLY, SAVES LIVES.
