ONSITE DATA STORAGE
The OnSite automatically stores data about its last clinical use in its internal
memory. The stored data can be conveniently transferred to a personal
computer or a handheld computer running the appropriate application in the
Philips HeartStart Event Review data management software suite. Event Review
software is for use by trained personnel only. Information about HeartStart
Event Review is available online at www.philips.com/eventreview.
Follow your local protocol with regard to prompt data transfer for medical
review after using the OnSite.

Details about data transfer and timing are
provided in Event Review documentation.
The information automatically stored by the OnSite includes a summary of last-
use data and detailed data about its last clinical use. You can get a voice summary
of information about the last use of the OnSite by holding the i-button down
until it beeps once. The OnSite will tell you how many shocks were delivered
and how long it has been since it was turned on. Summary data are available
anytime the defibrillator is ready for use (the battery and pads are installed, and
the defibrillator is not turned on) or while it is actually in use. Removing the
battery erases the summary data for the last use.
Last-use data stored in internal memory include:
• ECG recordings (a maximum of 15 minutes following pads application
†
)
• the OnSite’s status (entire incident)
• the OnSite’s rhythm analysis decisions (entire incident)
• the elapsed time associated with stored events (entire incident)
* The OnSite automatically stores information about its last clinical use in its internal
memory for at least 30 days, so the data can be downloaded to a computer running
appropriate Event Review software. (If the battery is removed during this period,
the OnSite retains the files. When the battery is reinstalled, the last-use ECG
recording will be kept in OnSite memory for an additional 30 days.) After this time,
the last-use ECG recordings will automatically be erased to prepare for a future
use.
† If ECG recordings from a previous use have not been erased, the maximum time
for new ECG recordings may be less.
