periodic self-tests

Daily, weekly, and monthly tests automatically conducted by the HeartStart OnSite

 

 

Defibrillator when it is in its standby mode. The tests monitor many key functions

 

 

and parameters of the OnSite, including battery capacity, pads cartridge readiness,

 

 

and the state of its internal circuitry.

B

protocol

A sequence of operations performed by the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator to

 

direct patient care in the AED mode.

 

protocol pause

A pause provided by the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator after a shock series,

 

 

during which the responder can administer CPR. The OnSite does not conduct

 

 

background monitoring of the patient’s heart rhythm during this pause.

 

Ready light

A green LED showing the readiness for use of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator.

 

 

A blinking Ready light means the OnSite is ready for use; a solid Ready light means

 

 

the OnSite is being used.

 

rhythm analysis

See “SMART analysis.”

 

Shock button

An orange button with a lightning bolt symbol on it, located on the front of the

 

 

HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator. The Shock button flashes when a shock is advised.

 

 

You must press the button for the shock to be delivered.

 

shockable rhythm

A heart rhythm that the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator determines is appropriate

 

 

for defibrillation, such as ventricular fibrillation and some ventricular tachycardias

 

 

associated with sudden cardiac arrest.

 

shock series interval

A configurable interval between shocks, used by the HeartStart OnSite

 

 

Defibrillator to decide if the shocks are part of the same shock series.

 

SMART analysis

The proprietary algorithm used by the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator to analyze

 

 

the patient’s heart rhythm and determine whether the rhythm is shockable.

 

SMART biphasic

The patented, low-energy defibrillation shock waveform used by the HeartStart

 

waveform

OnSite Defibrillator. It is an impedance-compensated biphasic waveform. Used

 

 

with the Adult SMART Pads, it delivers 150 Joules, nominal, into a 50 ohm load;

 

 

used with the Infant/Child SMART Pads, it delivers 50 Joules, nominal, into a 50

 

 

ohm load.

 

SMART NSA pause

See “NSA pause.”

 

SMART Pads

The adhesive pads, supplied in a cartridge, used with the HeartStart OnSite

 

 

Defibrillator. Pulling the handle on the cartridge turns on the OnSite and opens the

 

 

cartridge. The pads are applied to the patient’s bare skin and used to detect the

 

 

patient’s heart rhythm and to transfer the defibrillation shock. Only HeartStart

 

 

SMART Pads can be used with the OnSite.

 

standby mode

The operating mode of the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator when a battery has

 

 

been installed, and the unit is turned off and ready for use when needed. Shown by

 

 

blinking green READY light.

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.
