B-2
HeartStart Event Review A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel
to review and analyze OnSite patient use and by authorized personnel to alter
OnSite configuration. Information is available from Philips Healthcare on the
internet at www.philips.com/eventreview.
i-button An “information” button on the front of the OnSite. If the i-button is pressed
during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the OnSite provides
CPR Coaching;
*
if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing and the OnSite is
chirping, the OnSite provides troubleshooting guidance. At other times, if the i-
button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the OnSite provides summary
information about its last clinical use and device status. When the i-button is on
solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely touch the patient.
infrared
communications
A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It is
used to transmit information between the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator and a
computer running HeartStart Event Review software.
NSA “No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the OnSite that a shock is not needed,
based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.
NSA pause A pause provided by the OnSite following an NSA decision. The pause can be
configured to a “standard” NSA pause or a “SMART” NSA pause. During a
standard NSA pause the OnSite performs no background monitoring of patient
rhythm. During a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator conducts background
monitoring and, if it detects an artifact-free shockable rhythm, will exit the pause
and begin rhythm analysis. If the OnSite detects artifact such as that created by
CPR, or if the user presses the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA
pause, the defibrillator will not exit the pause for rhythm analysis in order to
allow CPR to be completed uninterrupted.
non-shockable rhythm A heart rhythm that the OnSite determines is not appropriate for defibrillation.
On/Off button A green button located on the front of the OnSite. Pressing the On/Off button
when the defibrillator is in standby mode turns the defibrillator on; pressing and
holding the On/Off button for one second when the OnSite is on turns the
defibrillator off and disarms it. In addition, pressing the On/Off button stops the
battery insertion self-test that automatically runs when a battery is inserted.
pads See “SMART pads.”
patient care pause A defined pause to allow patient assessment, treatment, and/or CPR. See “NSA
pause” and “protocol pause.”
* Pressing the i-button for CPR Coaching during a SMART NSA pause turns off
background monitoring.
