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

. 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

, NBP and EtCO

monitoring, as well as our AED algorithm,

12-lead analysis, patented SMART Biphasic

waveform, noninvasive pacing, and battery
