With Philips' HeartStart Trainer, CPR and first aid instructors can help empower their students with awareness of HeartStart Defibrillators and how to use them to save lives. The HeartStart Trainer simulates how the HeartStart OnSite and HeartStart Home Defibrillators will operate during a real-life sudden cardiac arrest event. Clear, confident voice instructions provide easy-to-follow directions and eight pre-configured scenarios to make training easy and more rewarding.

These special purpose pads, when installed in the HeartStart OnSite, suspend the defibrillator’s ability to deliver a shock and activate its training mode, enabling the user to run any of eight emergency scenarios. Depending on which cartridge is used – Adult or Infant/Child – the defibrillator’s voice instructions, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) coaching, will be appropriate for treating the simulated victim.

Each training pads cartridge consists of a removable clear protective lid with a handle, a resealable film cover, and a pair of reusable adhesive pads. It is packaged with a Pads Placement Guide (either Adult or Infant/Child) and illustrated instructions for installing the cartridge, using the Pads placement Guide, and repackaging the cartridge after using it. A training pads cartridge can also be used on a manikin if connected with an external manikin adapter (M5089A).
