TRAINING AND PRACTICE
The HeartStart comes with training materials, including a training video and an
Owner's Manual, which should be reviewed by anyone who may use the
defibrillator.
Reusable accessories are available from Philips for practicing use of the HeartStart.
See Appendix A for information on ordering Practice Kits.
It is also important to have training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Many
training organizations offer a combined course in CPR and defibrillator use. For a
list of organizations offering CPR and defibrillator training in your area, contact us
by phone at 1.866.DEFIBHOME (1.866.333.4246) or visit us online at

STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
