How much does a Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator cost and what is included?

Adult SMART Pads cartridge* (lasts 2 years); Battery (lasts 4 years); Training video;
Red carry case; 5-year warranty
The AED costs around $1,300. (Flexible payment and leasing programs are available)
Do I need a doctor prescription to purchase an AED?
KmD Medical requires a doctors prescription to purchase an AED and or child/infant pads.
Does insurance cover the purchase of AED's?
There are some medical conditions that may meet the criteria for medical necessity for a home
defibrillator. Download a list of these conditions and information to complete paperwork for
insurance companies so you can talk with your doctor. DOWNLOAD HERE
Due to the wide range of health insurance policies and patient conditions, Philips and KmD
Medical cannot guarantee that an insurer will cover or pay at any particular level.
Does the battery need recharging?
The long-life lithium battery does not need recharging. It contains power cells of the same kind
safely used in many other consumer products, such as cameras.
The battery typically lasts approximately four years in "standby mode." "Standby mode"
means HeartStart is standing at the ready to help save a life if needed. Every day, HeartStart
runs self-tests to check its battery, pads freshness and internal circuitry. If it ever detects a
problem, such as a low battery, it chirps like your smoke alarm to alert you.
Can the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator treat an existing medical condition?
The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is only intended for use in the treatment of the most
common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, known as ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF occurs when
the electrical system of the heart short circuits, causing the heart to quiver rather than pump
in a normal rhythm.
If you have questions or concerns about your health, or an existing medical condition, please talk
with your doctor. A defibrillator does not take the place of seeking medical care.
