Key Features
Always ready for rescue – Daily automatic self tests of internal circuitry, waveform delivery system, pads cartridge, and battery capacity gives you confidence in knowing regular checks are happening in the background. It performs more than 85 self-tests monthly, weekly and daily (including the proper functioning of the electrode pads). If one of the self tests fails, the device will start chirping loudly to warn that it is no longer ready-for-use. After pressing the flashing blue i button, the device will tell you what action is needed. Its extensive self-test routines and loud warnings make sure you can trust that the Philips HS1 defibrillator is always ready-to-go if needed.
