Philips HeartStart MRx - Manual

HEARTSTART MRx EDUCATION
AND TRAINING SOLUTIONS
Learning to use the HeartStart MRx Monitor/Defibrillator is an integral part of device implementation.
So Philips has created a variety of education and training material, including interactive web-based
training, an instructional video, and instructor-based training tools to meet your needs. All were
developed using sound instructional design principles, leading to competent operation and improving
your experience with the HeartStart MRx.
Instructor’s Toolkit
If you are responsible for education within your
organization, we have material to help facilitate
the education process. There is an Instructor’s
Guide designed to help you deliver end-user
training on the MRx. You can have students
follow along with your instruction using the User
Training Workbook. Then, to ensure competency
on device operation, students complete the
Skills Checklist provided.
Quick Reference Cards
The pocket-size, laminated card set highlights
key HeartStart MRx functionality and operation,
as well as each available monitoring parameter:
ECG, 12-Lead, Sp0
2
, NBP, and CO
2
. They can
be banded together and tethered to the MRx or
stored with your crash cart.
Application Notes
Application notes explain the theory behind our
therapeutic and monitoring technologies, as well
as support for their clinical efficacy and
intended interpretation. Application notes are
offered for arrhythmia, SpO
2
, NBP and EtCO
2
monitoring, as well as our AED algorithm,
12-lead analysis, patented SMART Biphasic
waveform, noninvasive pacing, and battery
maintenance.
Instructions for Use
The user’s guide provides the most extensive
details on MRx features and functions, clinical
explanations of available therapies and
monitoring parameters, and directions on the
configuration and maintenance of the device.
