PHILIPS HEARTSTART XL Defibrillator Device Analysis Report

Device Identification and Specifications

The device shown in the visuals is a professional defibrillator and monitor system with a biphasic waveform, used for medical purposes.

• Brand: PHILIPS
• Model: HEARTSTART XL
• Technology Indication: The device’s front panel clearly displays the phrase SMART BIPHASIC.

Product Originality and Compatibility

Upon examination of the device’s external casing, button layout, logo usage, and color palette (blue-beige combination), the product is assessed to be an original PHILIPS manufacture. The original shock paddles, marked as “STERNUM” and “APEX”, fit perfectly into the device’s housing.

Physical Condition and Cosmetic Examination

The device is in used condition and has the appearance of second-hand medical equipment. Its general cosmetic condition is as follows:

• Case Condition: The device’s plastic body (beige colored parts) shows slight discoloration that may occur over time. However, no major cracks, deep fissures, or dents that would compromise the device’s integrity have been visually detected on the external casing.
• Screen Surface: The screen glass on the front panel shows significant smudges and marks. While it cannot be definitively determined from the visual whether these marks are permanent deformations or removable dirt, it is observed that the screen is off and has heavy “fingerprint/wipe mark” residue on it.
• Cleanliness: The device appears generally dusty and dirty. Traces of use are particularly visible on the rear panel and carrying handle details.

Mechanical and Electronic Control Units

Upon visual inspection of the device’s control panel and button structure:

• Energy Selection Dial: A rotary switch is located on the left side of the device’s front face. On this switch, “Manual On”, “AED On”, “Off”, and energy selection levels ranging from 2 to 200 joules are legible.
• Numbered Buttons: On the front panel, the blue-backed (2) Charge button and the prominently orange (3) Shock button are physically intact and in place.
• Soft Key Buttons: The labels for “Mark”, “Strip”, “Summary”, and other function keys located to the right of the screen are legible, and no excessive wear or fading is observed on the buttons.

Accessories and Connection Cables

Components included in the product configuration shown in the visuals:

• External Paddles: A pair of shock paddles is connected to the device. The right paddle bears the inscription “STERNUM”, and the left paddle bears “APEX” (as seen from the reflection angle in the 4th visual). Shock trigger buttons are present on the paddles.
• Cables: Spiral cables connecting the paddles to the device are present. They largely retain their spiral form, and no visible breaks or peeling of the cable’s outer insulation has been observed. However, the strain reliefs at the connection points may appear slightly worn.
• Power Connection: A standard AC power input socket is located on the device’s rear panel (2nd visual). A power cable is not present in the visuals.

Technical Data and Rear Panel Analysis

Upon examination of the device’s rear and side panels, the following details are prominent:

• Cover mechanisms for the battery or module compartment are visible on the rear panel.
• A grey AC input socket and a circular port next to it, likely used for ECG input, are present.
• At the top, a section with a sliding cover (likely an internal printer/thermal printer area) is visible. Pictorial instruction labels are present on the top surface, but the text content is not fully legible due to the distance.
• Label Information: Although a label area is visible on the rear panel, the serial number, year of manufacture, or voltage values are not legible due to the visual resolution and angle.

Deficiencies and Potential Risk Analysis

Based solely on the data obtained from the visuals, the following points are important for the buyer:

• Power Cable: The power cable that connects the device to the mains electricity supply is not present in the visual.
• Test Status: As the device’s screen appears off (black), no information can be provided regarding whether it is operational, has pixel errors, or if its software starts correctly.
• Battery: It cannot be definitively determined from the outside whether the battery is installed; typically, batteries in these devices are located in a side or bottom compartment. In the visual, this compartment cover is closed.
• Potential Risk: The heavy smudges on the screen surface require cleaning. An elasticity check of the spiral cables may be necessary in case they have been stretched for a long time. Visually, there is no “seriously damaged” condition (e.g., broken casing, severed cable).
