The Philips HeartStart Intrepid is a rugged, lightweight portable monitor and defibrillator designed for emergency medical services (EMS) and in-hospital critical care transport. It combines essential cardiac resuscitation functions with comprehensive patient monitoring and CPR feedback in a portable platform.
The system supports monitoring, manual defibrillation, optional semi-automated AED, and optional non-invasive pacing, with advanced monitoring for ECG, SpO₂, NIBP, temperature and ETCO₂.

Four Clinical Modes
The HeartStart Intrepid provides four clinical modes, with some functions available as options:
1. Monitor Mode
The monitor mode provides continuous observation of vital signs and cardiac activity.
2. Manual Defibrillation
Manual defibrillation allows trained healthcare professionals to manage defibrillation as part of advanced cardiac resuscitation.
3. Semi-Automated AED
The HeartStart Intrepid can be configured with an optional semi-automated external defibrillation (AED) function.
4. Non-Invasive Pacing
An optional non-invasive pacing function is available for configurations requiring external cardiac pacing capability.
Advanced Patient Monitoring
The HeartStart Intrepid supports multiple monitoring parameters.

This combination allows the device to function as both a resuscitation platform and a patient monitor during emergency transport and critical-care situations.
Q-CPR Feedback
One of the key features of the HeartStart Intrepid is Q-CPR feedback, which provides real-time information during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The system provides feedback relating to:
- Compression depth
- Compression rate
- Ventilation quality
- Real-time CPR performance
- Voice prompts
This feedback is designed to help rescuers maintain CPR performance according to the applicable resuscitation protocol.
Philips IntelliSpace Connect
The HeartStart Intrepid integrates with Philips IntelliSpace Connect for connected emergency-care workflows.
The supplied information identifies support for secure uploading of:
- Patient vital signs
- Event logs
- Patient-care information
This information can be transferred toward electronic medical records (EMR) and electronic patient care reports (ePCR).
Readiness Indicator
The HeartStart Intrepid includes a blinking green checkmark readiness indicator.
The indicator is designed to confirm that:
- The device has passed its operational checks
- Sufficient battery power is available
This provides a quick visual indication of device readiness before emergency deployment.
Clinical Applications
The Philips HeartStart Intrepid is designed for professional healthcare environments including:
- Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
- Ambulance services
- Emergency response teams
- In-hospital patient transport
- Critical-care transport
- Emergency departments
- Critical-care environments
