Philips pioneered biphasic therapy in external defibrillators with our first AED, the ForeRunner. Today, biphasic is the industry’s gold standard. While all manufacturers have followed our lead, each employs a proprietary approach. Biphasic therapies are not all alike.
Philips SMART Biphasic is the most proven therapy in the industry, backed by more evidence than any other waveform. Studies show this waveform is highly effective across the entire spectrum of patients. It combines high current to maximize efficacy with low energy to minimize the harmful side effects of myocardial stunning and accompanying dysfunction, which can be fatal to an already fragile heart.
By minimizing side effects, SMART Bipahsic can deliver its most potent therapy from the very first shock. There is no reason to hold back.
Highest shock strength from the start, with minimal side effects. The best of both worlds.
