To deliver high levels of care, you need to make quick, informed decisions – at the scene of an emergency and across the entire course of treatment. You need your equipment to be easy to use as you care for a patient, monitor developments in the patient’s condition during transport to the hospital, and as you care for your patient in the hospital.

We designed the Efficia DFM100 defibrillator/monitor so you can meet the demands of patient care in the pre-hospital and hospital environment effectively and consistently. With field-proven Philips technology, the Efficia DFM100 offers core functionality with a scalable feature set and improved cost of ownership, allowing you to enhance patient care, no matter where the patient is located.

We have designed the Efficia DFM100 to meet the needs of both basic and advanced life support providers.

• Readiness: The Efficia DFM100 signals its readiness with an active, flashing hourglass that shows the results of automated self-tests, and front-panel LEDs that indicate power status – giving you a clear indication the device is ready for immediate use.
• Response: The Efficia DFM100 is small, lightweight, and easy to carry with an optional ruggedized, wrap-around, carrying case – you can rapidly bring the device to the patient’s side.
• Defibrillation: Intuitive controls and clear voice prompts guide you through the steps of placing the paddles and defibrillating the patient, with the option of an AED mode for basic life support providers. Advanced life support providers can take advantage of the full flexibility of therapeutic options, using the SmartSelect knob to navigate quickly through the menus to deliver defibrillation or pacing therapy to the patient.
• Monitoring: Ergonomic electrodes and effective patient cable management make it easy to monitor the patient’s ECG, SpO2, blood pressure and end-tidal CO2, to make informed decisions at the scene and in the hospital, for continued care while the patient is stabilized and during transport.
• Handover: The Efficia DFM100 uses the same ports for clinical measurements as Philips patient monitors, so no time is wasted applying different lead sets and cables to the patient on arrival in the hospital. The Efficia DFM100 also collects and trends data for up to 8 hours of continuous monitoring, for incident documentation and case review.

The Efficia DFM100 helps you deliver care at an affordable price. It starts with the quality and reliability already proven in over one million Philips defibrillators sold around the world. Philips proprietary “Ready-for-Use” indicator saves on regular testing by technicians. The test results are stored too, giving you a full year of automated test documentation for internal records and audits.

The affordability continues with scalability. Device configurations range from a basic defibrillator to a fully-featured defibrillator/monitor. If your Efficia DFM100 has the EtCO2 monitoring option, you can share modules amongst your devices as needed, for significant saving opportunities. To help control daily operational costs, the DFM100 can use Philips new lower-priced Efficia line of patient monitoring consumables.

The Efficia DFM100 also helps control your training and service costs. To help minimize the time and cost of staff training, we have designed the Efficia DFM100 with the same user interface across hospital and EMS versions. The user interface is also similar to our family of HeartStart defibrillators. A multi-year warranty helps you control overall service costs.
