- Tactical grey color option designed to show less dirt and wear over time
- Automatic lead switching, which allows users to focus on the patient, not the monitor
- Improved ECG performance, including new ‘ruggedized’ EMS lead sets
- Flexible event summary print options for enhanced workflow
- Enhanced event markers, with the ability to enter drug dose and unit of measure
- Auto switching from demand-mode to fixed-mode pacing if the primary ECG lead is lost
The HeartStart MRx combines industry-leading monitoring technology with diagnostic measurements and Philips’ patented defibrillation therapies in a rugged, lightweight device. The HeartStart MRx provides several advanced features important to EMS professionals, including Philips’ advanced DXL 12-Lead ECG algorithm, a large color display, fast time to shock and the longest battery operating time for ECG monitoring among eight leading monitor/defibrillators, according to published manufacturer’s specifications. Additionally, Q-CPR, the most clinically proven CPR measurement and feedback tool, is available as a fully integrated option.
