The HeartStart should not be used on a
person who responds when shaken, or is
breathing normally.
If you are not sure the person is in SCA,
apply the HeartStart and follow its
instructions. It will not let you shock
someone unless a shock is needed.
HOW TO USE IT
If you find someone who may be in SCA,
act calmly and quickly. Time is critical!
Call Emergency Medical Services
(usually 911) immediately or, if possible,
have someone else call while you use the
HeartStart. Clearly tell the emergency
operator:
“This is (give your name and location).
Someone here has collapsed.
I have a HeartStart Home Defibrillator.
Please send help immediately.”
Quickly get the defibrillator.
Put it
on the same side of the person that you
are on.
