1 IntroductionFeatures and Capabilities
Features and Capabilities
The HeartStart MRx is a lightweight, portable, monitor/defibrillator. It provides four modes of
operation: Monitor, Manual Defib, AED, and Pacer (optional).
In Monitor Mode you can monitor up to four ECG waveforms, acquired through a 3-, 5-, or 10-lead
ECG set or multifunction electrode pads. Optional monitoring of pulse oximetry (SpO
pressure (IP), non-invasive blood pressure (NBP), temperature (Temp), and carbon dioxide (EtCO
are also available. Measurements from these parameters are presented on the display and alarms are
available to alert you to changes in the patient’s condition.
Monitor Mode also provides an optional 12-Lead ECG function, enabling you to preview, acquire,
store, transmit, and print 12-lead ECG reports, with or without analysis/interpretation.
Manual Defib Mode offers simple, 3-step defibrillation. You analyze the patient’s ECG and, if
appropriate: 1) select an energy setting, 2) charge, and 3) deliver the shock. Defibrillation may be
performed using paddles or multifunction electrode pads. Manual Defib Mode also allows you to
perform synchronized cardioversion and internal defibrillation.
In AED Mode, the HeartStart MRx analyzes the patient’s ECG and determines whether a shock is
advised. Voice prompts guide you through the 3-step defibrillation process, providing easy-to-follow
instructions and patient information. Voice prompts are reinforced by messages that appear on the
display.

Both Manual Defib and AED Mode incorporate the Philips’ low energy SMART Biphasic waveform
for defibrillation, Q-CPR, and audio recording.
Optional Pacer Mode offers non-invasive transcutaneous pacing therapy. Pace pulses are delivered
through multifunction electrode pads, using a monophasic waveform.
The HeartStart MRx is powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Available battery power is easily
determined by viewing the convenient battery power indicators located on the device display or by
checking the indicators on the battery itself. Additionally, an external AC or DC power supply may be
applied as a secondary power source and for continual battery charging.
The HeartStart MRx performs Automated Tests on a regular basis. The status of the device’s critical
functions are reported to the Ready For Use (RFU) indicator. Prominently displayed, the RFU
indicator communicates the status of your device, letting you know if it is operating correctly, needs
attention, or is unable to deliver therapy. In addition, performing the specified Operational Check
ensures that the HeartStart MRx is functioning properly.
The HeartStart MRx M3535 model with the IntelliVue Networking Option (available in the USA only) can connect to the Philips IntelliVue Clinical Network.
The HeartStart MRx automatically stores critical event and trend data in its internal memory, such as
Event Summaries and 12-Lead Reports. The HeartStart MRx also enables you to copy data and event
information to an optional external data card for downloading to Philips’ data management solution,
HeartStart Event Review Pro, as well as transfer data using Bluetooth
be transferred using Rosetta-Lt™.
The HeartStart MRx is highly configurable to better meet the needs of diverse users. Be sure to
familiarize yourself with the device’s configuration before using the HeartStart MRx.

Test for Leaks
1Pressurize the expansion chamber to approximately 250 mmHg.
2Wait for 30 seconds to allow the pressure in the unit to equalize.
3Watch the displayed pressure for 60 seconds.
4At the end of this 60 seconds record the pressure drop. Any pressure drop observed should be
<
6 mmHg.
5If the pressure decreases by more than 6 mmHg, there is a leak. Replace the NBP tubing and cuff
and try the leakage test again. If the pressure still decreases by more than 6 mmHg, begin
troubleshooting and repairing the device as needed.
6Release the pressure in the cuff before proceeding to the next test to avoid the safety timeout.
Test the Linearity
1Pressurize the expansion chamber to approximately 150 mmHg.
2When the pressure is stabilized, compare the displayed pressure reading to the pressure indicated
by the manometer.
If the difference between the manometer and the displayed pressure is >±2 mmHg, perform the
steps in “Calibrate the NBP Measurement”. Then repeat this linearity test.

2MaintenanceChecking the CO2 Module
Pump Check
This test checks the ‘strength’ of the pump by occluding the inlet and measuring how deep a vacuum
the pump can pull.
NOTE These tests must be conducted in this order. For example, if you perform the Pump Check, and there is
a leak that you have not found because you did not perform the leak tests, it may appear that the device
has a faulty pump, when in fact it has a loose tubing connection.
1From the CO
2Follow the instructions on the screen to perform the pump check.
3The difference between the cell and ambient pressures displayed should be more than 120 mmHg.
Service menu, select Pump Check.
2
If the pressure reading is correct (difference >120 mmHg), the device passes the pump test.
If the pressure reading is incorrect, it indicates the pump is defective (regardless of the number of
hours it has run) and the CO
module must be replaced. See “CO2 Module” on page 166.

Flow Rate Check
1Disconnect the tubing from the flowmeter inlet.
2From the CO
3Connect the FilterLine to the flowmeter outlet.
4Follow the instructions on the screen to perform the Flow Rate check.
NOTEBe sure there are no kinks, pinches, or obstructions in any of the tubing — this can create a
restriction that will diminish the flow rate and cause a false failure of this test.
5If the flow rate is within the tolerance limit (50 ± 7.5 ml/min), the test passes.
If the flow rate is not within the tolerance limit, proceed to “CO2 Calibration” on page 25 to
calibrate the flow rate.
6Use the Navigation buttons to increase and decrease the flow until it is as close as possible to 50 ml
per minute as indicated on the flowmeter gauge.
Service menu, select Flow Rate Check.

3 TroubleshootingReady For Use Indicator
Ready For Use Indicator
The Ready For Use (RFU) indicator, located in the upper right corner of the device, reports the status
of critical functions of the device as determined by the Automated tests. These Automated tests run
periodically while the device is turned off (but has a power source) and check the following critical
functions of the device:
• defibrillation and cardioversion
•pacing
• pads/paddles ECG
• 3-lead/5-lead/12-lead ECG
• battery
The RFU indicator also reports failures in critical functions detected at run time, during an
Operational Check, and during Service Mode tests. Always check the RFU indicator when
troubleshooting the device.
Automated test failures of non-critical components (such as the NBP, SpO
modules) are not reflected in the RFU indicator, but are reported through inops when the device is
turned on.
The RFU indicator displays the status of the device using the following definitions.

Automated Tests
The HeartStart MRx performs many maintenance activities independently, including three tests that
run automatically at regularly scheduled intervals while the device is off to assess operational
performance and alert you if a problem exists. Results of tests associated with critical functionality of
the device are reported through the Ready For Use indicator and the Automated Test Summary report.
Results are also reported through inop statements on the display when the HeartStart MRx is turned
on. Ta b le 2 provides a brief explanation of the tests and lists the frequency with which each test is
performed.

3 TroubleshootingShift Checklist and Operational Check
Shift Checklist and Operational Check
In order to help ensure that defibrillators are ready for use when needed, the American Heart
Association (AHA) recommends that users complete a check list, often referred to as a shift check, at
the beginning of each change in personnel. The activities on this check list include verifying that the
appropriate supplies and accessories are present, the device is plugged in, has sufficient battery power,
and is ready for use. Philips Medical Systems supports the AHA check list recommendations and has
provided a Shift Checklist document with the HeartStart MRx.
Weekly Shock Test
In addition to the shift check, you must verify the ability to deliver defibrillation therapy once a week
by performing one of the following
• Operational Check (see “Operational Check for Version B.05 or Greater” on page 41 or
“Operational Check for Versions Prior to B.05” on page 35).
• Weekly Shock Test (see the instructions below).
NOTE Test reusable sterilizable paddles (internal or external) prior to each use. See the Sterilizable
Defibrillator Paddles, Instructions for Use for more information.
:
To perform the Weekly Shock Test:
1If you are using paddles, make sure the paddles are secure in their pockets and that the Patient
Contact Indicator (PCI) LEDs located on the sternum paddle are not lit. If the LEDs light, adjust
the paddles in their pockets. If the LEDs continue to light, clean both the adult and pediatric
paddle electrode surfaces.
or
If you are using multifunction electrode pads, attach a test load to the end of the patient Therapy
cable.
2Turn the Therapy knob to 150 J.
3Press the Charge button.
NOTE If it becomes necessary to disarm the defibrillator, press [Disarm] softkey.
4The strip prints if configured to do so. If the strip does not print immediately, press the Print
button.
5If using:
– Pads, then press the Shock button on the HeartStart MRx to deliver a shock into the test load.
– External paddles, then simultaneously press the shock buttons located on the paddles to deliver a
shock into the pockets.
6Confirm on the printed strip that the energy delivered to the test load is 150 J + 23 J (127 J to
173 J). If not, take the device out of use and begin troubleshooting.

Operational Check for Versions Prior to B.05
Modifications were made to the Operational Check with software version B.05. If your device is
running software prior to B.05, refer to this section for an explanation of the Operational Check
procedure. If your device is running software version B.05 or greater, refer to “Operational Check for
Version B.05 or Greater” on page 41.
NOTE To determine the device’s software version, select Other > Print Device Info from the Main menu.
Operational Checks should be performed at regular intervals to supplement the hourly, daily, and
weekly Automated Tests executed by the HeartStart MRx. Automated Tests provide adequate
assurance that the device is in a functional state of readiness. Operational Checks supplement the
Automated Tests by verifying therapy cables, the ECG cable, paddles, audio, and display functionality,
along with replicating the Weekly test. Operational Checks also notify you if the battery, NBP module,
or CO
At completion of the Operational Check, the message Operational Check Passed is displayed if all of
the tests pass. If any test fails, the message Non-Critical Failure, Critical Failure, or Battery Failure is
displayed, depending upon the severity of the failed functionality. You must fix the problem and
successfully run the Operational Check to clear the failure.
Keep in mind the following points about the Operational Check:
• You can run Operational Check from the Other menu in Monitor Mode or from the Service Mode
module need calibration.

Main menu – the Operational Check is the same in both modes. When you exit the Operational
Check from Service Mode, you are returned to Monitor Mode.
• The Operational Check runs the Defib test on battery power to reflect typical operating conditions
for defibrillation. The device automatically disconnects AC/DC power.
• Perform the Defib Test for each type of patient Therapy cable used on the device (multifunction
defib pads or external paddles). At the conclusion of the Defib Test, you can attach another Therapy
cable and repeat the test.
NOTE If theHeartStart MRx is equipped with multifunction defib pads only and does not have a paddle tray,
you cannot test paddles during an Operational Check. To test the paddles, you must have a test load.
Run the Weekly Shock Test, delivering the shock into the test load. (See “Weekly Shock Test” on
page 34 for details.)
• Options that are not installed on the device do not appear on the screen or printed report.
•The message In Progress is displayed as each test is run. The test result (pass or fail) is displayed at
the completion of each test. (See Ta b le 5 on page 37 for a full explanation of each test.)
• Use the test results to troubleshoot and repair the device.
• Clear the Status log after all errors have been addressed and the Operational Check passes. See
“Status Log Messages” on page 59 for more information.
WARNINGBe sure that the HeartStart MRx is not connected to a patient when performing an Operational Check.
To run the Operational Check:
1Insert a battery charged to at least 20%.
2Attach a Pads or Paddles therapy cable.
3Attach an ECG cable.

1. Decontaminate the device using local decontamination procedures.
Refer to the Instructions for Use.
2. Check the Ready for Use (RFU) indicator.
See “Ready For Use Indicator” on page 28.
3. Perform a visual inspection.
Thoroughly examine the device and its cables and accessories. Refer to “Visual Inspection” on
page 204.
If no further troubleshooting is needed, proceed to Step 14 to repair the device. Otherwise,
continue with Step 4.
4. Turn on the device.
5. Turn the Therapy Knob to Monitor.
Failures and messages appear on the display when you turn on the monitor/defibrillator.
6. Check the status log.
The Status log includes entries for all messages logged during normal operating mode (runtime),
Automated tests (autotest), Service Mode tests (service), and Operational Checks (opcheck). The
message indicates the most likely module or PCA that failed. (See "Status Log Messages" on
page 59 for more information.)
7. Run the Operational Check.
The Operational Check tests the functionality of all PCAs and modules present on the device. For
example, if the HeartStart MRx is equipped with the Non-invasive Blood Pressure measurement,
the Operational Check performs a self-test on that module, and includes the results both on the
screen and on the printed report. The Operational Check results indicate the area of the device that
is experiencing problems. Use this information to troubleshoot and repair the device. See “Shift
Checklist and Operational Check” on page 34 for detailed instructions.
8. Check the Status log and the Automated Test summary.
Any errors that occur during the Operational Check are written to the Status log. Use these
messages to isolate the problem. The Automated Test summary lists the results of past hourly, daily,
and weekly tests and provides you with information on the device’s history.
If no further troubleshooting is needed, proceed to Step 14 to repair the device. Otherwise,
continue with Step 9.
9. Use the Troubleshooting tables to identify the problem.
Use the Troubleshooting tables to find information on messages and common troubleshooting
issues.
If no further troubleshooting is needed, proceed to Step 14 to repair the device. Otherwise,
continue with Step 10.

3 TroubleshootingTroubleshooting Methodology
10. Interview the user. Gather the external components.
If possible, talk directly with the user who reported the problem. Identify what they were doing
when the problem occurred, and exactly what happened. What was on the display? Were any
sounds noticed? Were there operational problems?
If possible, obtain the cables, paddles, battery, etc., that were in use when the problem occurred
and use them in your evaluation.
If no further troubleshooting is needed, proceed to Step 14 to repair the device. Otherwise,
continue with Step 11.
11. Try to reproduce the problem.
Try to reproduce the problem using the Troubleshooting tables to identify the symptoms and
possible solutions and perform any repairs indicated, as in Step 14.
If the problem cannot be reproduced, an intermittent condition or operator error is likely. Check
the device’s repair history (Step 12.)
12. Examine the device’s repair history.
Some intermittent problems cannot be reproduced. If the device was returned before for the same
problem, replace the most likely subassembly.
13. Run the Service tests, if needed.
Use the tests available in Service Mode to focus in on possible causes. See“Service Mode Tests” on
page 205 for more information.
14. Repair any problems found.
Follow the procedures in the Repair chapter to replace defective parts or subassemblies. When the
repair is complete, continue with Step 15.
15. Verify the device’s performance.
Use the procedures found in the Performance Verification chapter to verify that the device is
operating properly. Be sure the testing you perform is appropriate for the level of repair. The
requirements for testing are described in “Required Testing Levels” on page 196.

4RepairWho Should Perform Repairs
Who Should Perform Repairs
Only qualified technical personnel who have been trained in the safe and proper servicing of the
HeartStart MRx should open the monitor/defibrillator case, remove and replace components, or make
adjustments. If your medical facility does not have qualified technical personnel, contact the Response
Center or your local Philips representative.
WARNINGHeartStart MRx service should only be performed by qualified service personnel, in accordance with
this document, the HeartStart MRx Service Manual.
Repair Philosophy
The repair philosophy of the HeartStart MRx is subassembly replacement.
Examples of subassemblies are the printer, the Processor PCA, and selected connectors and other items.
Repairs that involve replacing individual components on a PCA are not supported.
CAUTIONIndividual component replacement should not be attempted. Component level repair is inadvisable
due to the extensive use of surface mount technology and the high parts-density on the circuit boards.
Unauthorized component replacement can impair performance of the HeartStart MRx.
Calling for Service
For telephone assistance, call the Response Center nearest to you, or visit our web site at:
The following sections give details of how to successfully work with the internal assemblies of the
HeartStart MRx.
TIP If your HeartStart MRx still has a 64 MB data card, then it is recommended to perform the M4773A
(internal and external 256 MB Data Card) upgrade next time you perform an internal repair.
Safety Precautions
WARNINGRemove all power sources (AC, battery, DC) before opening the HeartStart MRx. Failure to do so may
allow the device to charge without warning and could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTIONTake the necessary precautions against shock or injury before you conduct monitor/defibrillator tests
or repairs.
• Only properly trained technicians should service the device.
• The device can contain deadly voltages even if the device is turned off.
• Make sure the device is disarmed. (To disarm the defibrillator, press [Disarm]. If the Shock button
has not been pressed within the time period specified in the Time to Auto Disarm Configuration
setting, the defibrillator disarms automatically. Additionally, when the HeartStart MRx is fully
charged, you can disarm it any time by turning the Therapy Knob to the “Off” position.)
• Make sure that you disconnect all power before opening the device.
• Make sure you discharge the device before working with it.
• Make sure you work in a static-safe environment. Use a static control wrist band, in conjunction
with an antistatic pad which is grounded per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Special cleaning technologies are used during the manufacturing of the PCAs. Be careful not to
touch the surface areas of the PCAs with bare hands. Additionally, oil from hands can affect product
performance.
Flex Circuit Connections
In order for flex circuit connections to function properly, they must be disconnected and reconnected
as follows:
• Always unlatch the PCA-mounted connector before removing the flex circuit, and hold the latch
open while reinserting the flex circuit into the connector.
• When reconnecting, align the flex circuit carefully in its receptacle. Make sure it is both centered
from side to side in the connector and oriented at 90 degrees to the connector.
86
• Be sure the flex circuit is fully seated in the connector and the connector is properly latched.
Repair Notes4Repair
Flex Circuit Handling
The flex circuits are delicate and can be damaged by improper handling:
• Do not bend sharply.
• Do not scrape the contact surface against other parts.
• Handle the flex with bent-tip needle-nose pliers whose jaws are covered with a soft material (such as
plastic tubing or tape).
Internal Connections
Whenever troubleshooting indicates a particular PCA may be at fault, it is always good practice to
check all the connections to that PCA and retest before replacing the PCA.
Cable and Assembly Placement
How the wires and cables are routed and dressed inside the chassis plays an important role in two areas:
in preventing long term wear problems, and in reducing electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference emitted by the monitor/defibrillator.
• When you disassemble any part of the device, pay special attention to how cables and wires are
routed.
• When you reassemble the device, be sure to route and dress all cables and wires as they were
originally.
• Return all components to their original position within the case.
Device Reassembly
If you do not reassemble the device correctly, it may no longer be properly sealed. This could result in
water damage to the device. Be sure to maintain the water-resistant seal by:
• Placing all gaskets in their proper locations.
• Correctly assembling all parts that mate with gaskets (making sure the gaskets are not wrinkled or
pinched).
•Replacing all screws.
• Making sure that screws are not cross-threaded and that they are firmly tightened.
• Tightening M3 screws to 6-inch pounds and M4 screws to 10-inch pounds.
Disposal
Prior to disposal, remove the batteries. Then dispose of the device in accordance with your country’s
regulations for equipment containing electronic parts.
WARNINGTo avoid contaminating or infecting personnel, the environment, or other equipment, make sure you
disinfect and decontaminate the monitor/defibrillator appropriately prior to disposal.
Properly dispose of or recycle depleted batteries according to local regulations. Do not puncture,
disassemble, or incinerate batteries. Be careful not to short the battery terminals because this could
result in a fire hazard.Disposal of the device with the battery inserted presents a potential shock hazard.
87
4RepairRepair Tools and Equipment
Disposing of Empty Calibration Gas Cylinders
To dispose of empty calibration gas cylinders:
1Empty the cylinder completely by pushing the pin of the regulator valve or by pulling out the pin
of the fill wave using a tire valve stem wrench or a pair of needle-nose pliers.
2When the cylinder is empty, either remove the valve stem from the fill (or regulator) hole, or drill a
hole in the cylinder.
3Write “Empty” on the cylinder and dispose of it appropriately for scrap metal.
WARNINGEnsure that the cylinder is completely empty before trying to remove the valve stem or drill the tank.
Repair Tools and Equipment
The following tools are needed to perform the procedures in this chapter.
• Torx T-10 and T-15 drivers (or Torx driver kit, part number 5181-1933). T-15 driver shaft should
be at least 3.5-inches (90 mm) long and less than 0.4-inches (10 mm) in diameter to reach down to
recessed case screws.
• Slip-joint pliers or adjustable open-end wrench.
•Straight-bladed screwdriver.
• Nut driver (5/16”) or small adjustable wrench
• #2 Phillips screwdriver, shaft at least 5” long.
• Straight-tip needle-nose pliers or tweezers.
• Bent-tip needle-nose pliers whose jaws are covered with a soft material (such as plastic tubing or
tape).
