Defibrillation & Resuscitation
The EMS-1052 provides multiple emergency cardiac intervention modes:
- Manual defibrillation
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Synchronized cardioversion
- External pacing
This allows the device to support different stages of professional cardiac resuscitation and emergency response.
ActiBiphasic Technology
The device uses ActiBiphasic technology for biphasic defibrillation.
It also supports rapid charging:
200J in under 4 seconds
The EMS-1052 can perform continuous VF/VT analysis during CPR, supporting rhythm assessment during resuscitation.
6.5-Inch Touchscreen Display
The EMS-1052 features a 6.5-inch color TFT touch panel display.
The screen can display up to:
- 7 simultaneous curves
- Multiple patient parameters
- Relevant waveforms and monitoring information
The touchscreen interface is complemented by Smart Connector functionality for streamlined configuration.
ECG Monitoring & 18-Lead ECG
The EMS-1052 provides 3-lead ECG monitoring and supports synthesized 18-lead ECG through Nihon Kohden's synECi18 technology.
This provides an expanded ECG view from the compact monitor-defibrillator platform.
The device also supports continuous VF/VT analysis during CPR.
Multi-Parameter Patient Monitoring
The EMS-1052 provides extensive monitoring capabilities.

This makes the EMS-1052 more than a conventional defibrillator, providing a comprehensive monitoring platform for emergency and transport situations.
Capnography with cap-ONE
The EMS-1052 supports ETCO₂ monitoring using the cap-ONE sensor.
Capnography can provide continuous information about exhaled carbon dioxide during patient monitoring and resuscitation.
Clear Wave Pads & CPR Support
The device supports Clear Wave Pads, which are designed to suppress artifacts during monitoring and resuscitation.
The EMS-1052 also supports wireless/Bluetooth connectivity for optional CPR-1100 CPR assistance tools.
This can provide an additional layer of CPR support during emergency response.
Smart Connector Technology
The EMS-1052 uses Smart Connectors that automatically detect connected cables.
When a cable is connected, the device can automatically switch the screen layout to display the corresponding:
- Parameter
- Waveform
- Monitoring information
This can help simplify device setup during emergency use.
Rugged Design for Field Rescue
The EMS-1052 is designed for demanding EMS and field environments.
IP55 Protection
The device has an IP55 dust and water protection rating.
Operating Temperature
The stated operating temperature range is:
−20°C to 50°C
Drop Protection
The device is drop-tested up to 1.22 meters.
Combined with its approximately 4.2 kg weight, these features make it suitable for mobile emergency applications.
