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.

STANDARD 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.

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 EtCO2 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.
