When a cardiac emergency occurs, immediate action is required and the defibrillator must be ready for use. The Philips HeartStart XL+ is designed to be reliable and user-friendly.
Philips incorporated innovations to its latest defibrillator/monitor based on extensive user feedback and testing to ensure it meets the needs of a variety of users. Features that enhance the XL+'s readiness for clinicians include an indicator on the front panel of the device that signals power status, an active "ready for use" indicator and an easy-to-use interface and cabling that is consistent with other Philips defibrillators and monitors to make hand-offs easier.
The HeartStart XL+ easily switches between adult AED mode and infant/child AED mode with the push of a button, making it possible for all levels of trained responders to use the defibrillator quickly and effectively on any patient. Utilizing Philips' proven SMART biphasic therapy for defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion, the HeartStart XL+ delivers one of the fastest shocks (three seconds) to standard adult dose (150 Joules) in manual and AED mode, enabling fast delivery of therapy and allowing clinicians to quickly resume CPR. Other features offered on the HeartStart XL+ include non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, synchronized cardioversion, pacing and trending.
