Philips MRx User 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, Sp02, NBP, and CO2. 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, SpO2, NBP and EtCO

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.

STANDAR D SOLUTIONS

Your HeartStart MRx comes complete with

valuable educational and reference material. The

following are provided with the MRx at no

additional cost:

Interactive Multimedia

Just as we utilize cutting-edge technology in

our medical devices, we do the same with the

HeartStart MRx web-based training. Developed

to run on either a broadband or slow 56k

Internet connection and accessible 24/7 365

days a year, this solution covers the features,

functions, and operation of the device, and

requires only 1 to 2 hours to complete.

Lesson material is presented in an interactive,

multimedia format, designed to handle a variety

of learning styles. There is access to informative

clinical application notes, as well as a final exam

that checks your understanding of the material.

Students who successfully complete the exam

are eligible for continuing education credit.

Training administrators will appreciate:

 the ease of conducting self-paced, new

employee training,

 the version control and consistency of

lesson material,

 the ability to update existing lesson content

or add new material quickly,

 and the benefits of a student database that

tracks lesson completion history and final

exam results.

If Internet access is not available, the training is

available on CD.

OPTIONAL SOLUTIONS

If your training and educational needs require

more than what comes standard with the MRx,

consider the following options:

Instructor-based Training

On-site, instructor-based training is perhaps the

most thorough learning experience for MRx

users. Delivered by experienced clinical

educators such as critical care nurses and

paramedics, this solution can be customized and

includes hands-on procedural labs, reviews of

therapeutic and monitoring technologies, and

tests for lesson comprehension and retention.

Students get the benefit of learning device

operation in realistic critical care context, thanks

to the knowledge and real world experience that

the educators possess.

Our instructors are equipped with lesson plans,

presentations, and skills checklists for classroom

use. User training workbooks are available to

students for reference, note taking, and

independent study.

Classes are arranged through your Philips

representative, and cost is dependent on the

number of training days required to meet your

needs.

Video

Featuring realistic pre-hospital and hospital

scenarios, Using the HeartStart MRx

Monitor/Defibrillator illustrates the intended use

of the MRx, showing important device features

and functions through interactions with controls,

buttons, menus, and accessory ports associated

with standard and optional parameters.

At just over 35 minutes, it’s both a standalone

solution and an effective prerequisite to either

the multimedia or instructor-based training. The

video is available on VHS tape and DVD and

can be ordered through your Philips

representative.
