The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator was designed with safety in mind–safety of the victim, the user and those living in the household, including children and others who might be curious about the device. HeartStart is designed to only deliver a shock if it determines one is needed. It will not deliver a shock to a person who doesn’t need it. For the safety of the home responder, it is important to follow the voice instructions and to make sure that no one touches the patient when a shock is delivered.
