fibrillation

A disturbance of the normal heart rhythm that results in chaotic, disorganized

 

activity that cannot effectively pump blood. Ventricular fibrillation (fibrillation in

 

the lower chambers of the heart) is associated with sudden cardiac arrest.

HeartStart Event Review

A suite of data management software applications for use by trained personnel to

 

review and analyze HeartStart Defibrillator patient use and by authorized

 

personnel to alter HeartStart configuration. Information is available from Philips

eventreview.

i-button

A blue “information” button on the front of the HeartStart Defibrillator. If the

 

i-button is pressed during the 30 seconds it flashes during a patient care pause, the

 

HeartStart provides CPR Coaching;* if the i-button is pressed when it is flashing

 

and the HeartStart is chirping, the HeartStart provides troubleshooting guidance.

 

At other times, if the i-button is pressed and held until it beeps once, the

 

HeartStart provides summary information about its last clinical use and device

 

status. When the i-button is on solid (not flashing), it indicates the user may safely

 

touch the patient.

infrared

A method of sending information using a special part of the light spectrum. It is

communications

used to transmit information between the HeartStart Defibrillator and a computer

 

running HeartStart Event Review software.

NSA

“No Shock Advised,” a decision made by the HeartStart Defibrillator that a shock

 

is not needed, based on analysis of the patient’s heart rhythm.

NSA pause

A pause provided by the HeartStart Defibrillator following an NSA decision. The

 

pause can be configured to a “standard” NSA pause or a “SMART” NSA pause.

 

During a standard NSA pause the defibrillator performs no background

 

monitoring of patient rhythm. During a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator

 

conducts background monitoring and, if it detects an artifact-free shockable

 

rhythm, will exit the pause and begin rhythm analysis. If the HeartStart detects

 

artifact such as that created by CPR, or if the user presses the i-button for CPR

 

Coaching during a SMART NSA pause, the defibrillator will not exit the pause for

 

rhythm analysis in order to allow CPR to be completed uninterrupted.

non-shockable rhythm

A heart rhythm that the HeartStart Defibrillator determines is not appropriate for

 

defibrillation.

On/Off button

A green button located on the front of the HeartStart Defibrillator. Pressing the

 

On/Off button when the defibrillator is in standby mode turns the defibrillator on;

 

pressing and holding the On/Off button for one second when the defibrillator is on

 

turns the defibrillator off and disarms the defibrillator. In addition, pressing the

M5066A specifications

The Philips M5066A is a state-of-the-art multi-parameter patient monitor designed to enhance healthcare delivery in various clinical settings. This versatile monitoring solution is widely utilized in hospitals, especially in critical care units and during transport, owing to its robust features and reliable performance.

One of the main features of the M5066A is its ability to monitor multiple vital signs simultaneously, including ECG, heart rate, invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, respiration rate, temperature, and saturation levels. This multi-parameter capability allows healthcare professionals to gain a comprehensive view of a patient’s health status, enabling timely interventions and improved patient outcomes.

The M5066A incorporates advanced technologies such as Philips’ proprietary IntelliVue technology, which enhances the accuracy and reliability of vital sign measurements. The monitor uses sophisticated algorithms to filter out noise and interferences, ensuring that the data presented to caregivers is both precise and actionable. The device also supports a range of connectivity options, allowing for seamless integration with hospital information systems and electronic medical records (EMRs). This connectivity facilitates the easy transfer and management of patient data, promoting better coordination of care.

Another significant characteristic of the M5066A is its user-friendly interface. The large, high-resolution display provides clear visuals of vital sign trends and parameters, enabling quick assessments by healthcare professionals. Customizable alarms and alerts can be programmed to suit specific patient needs, ensuring that caregivers are notified of critical changes in a timely manner.

The M5066A is also designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. The device's compact and lightweight design facilitates easy transport, while its durable construction ensures reliability in demanding environments. Furthermore, the monitor's battery backup allows for continuous monitoring even during power outages or when moving patients between departments.

In conclusion, the Philips M5066A multi-parameter patient monitor is a sophisticated tool that enhances patient monitoring by providing accurate, real-time data. Its advanced technologies, comprehensive monitoring capabilities, user-friendly interface, and focus on safety and comfort make it an invaluable asset in any clinical setting, helping healthcare providers deliver the highest standard of care.
