Hi George,
Do you mean to say that the MRx does not have Verification test wherein the the charge time of less than 5 seconds to 200 Joules with a new, fully charged M3516A SLA battery pack at 25º C (as stated in both the EMS Product Info and Hospital Product Info, of the
Philips MRx page ) can be checked? I havent seen info on charge time using just AC power.
In comparison, as you had stated, HeartStart XL has in the Performance Verification Tests wherein testing can be done for Defibrillator Test (AC Power at 200J) and Defibrillator Test (Battery Power at 200J).
We have the HeartStart XLs but not the MRx. Do you have MRx in your facilty? Can you please confirm if the NIBP and ETCO2 has to be calibrated yearly or else you'll get a reminder on the top of the screen anytime the monitor is on? That you can either purchase the equipment to do the work or for the Philips Tech to come and do the work (woe if this was not included in the service plan). Either way, its extra cost out front.
