The Medion Cardiomax is a portable biphasic monitor-defibrillator developed by Instramed/Medion for professional emergency-care environments such as hospitals, intensive care units, and ambulances.
The Cardiomax combines biphasic defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, patient monitoring, and optional advanced monitoring and therapy modules in a portable system. Depending on configuration, it can support ECG, SpO₂, NIBP, non-invasive external pacing, and EtCO₂ monitoring.
The system is available with different display, energy, monitoring, battery, and accessory configurations, so the exact specifications should be confirmed for the particular Cardiomax configuration being supplied.

Biphasic Defibrillation
The Medion Cardiomax uses a Biphasic Truncated Exponential waveform for defibrillation.
The supplied specifications indicate energy configurations extending up to 200J or 360J, depending on the model/configuration.
The defibrillation system includes adjustment for patient impedance, helping the device adapt shock delivery according to the patient's electrical characteristics.
Pediatric Defibrillation
The supplied information specifies that child paddles are limited to 50J.
Because energy ranges vary by configuration, the exact available energy steps should be confirmed for the specific Cardiomax unit.
Manual Defibrillation
The Cardiomax supports manual defibrillation for trained healthcare professionals.
The system incorporates multifunctional paddles with integrated controls for:
- Charging
- Shock delivery
- Contact indication through a bargraph
The multifunctional design allows the operator to manage key defibrillation controls directly from the paddles.
Synchronized Cardioversion
The Cardiomax also supports synchronized cardioversion, providing a synchronized shock-delivery mode for appropriate clinical applications.
AED Mode
An optional AED mode is available depending on configuration.
The supplied specifications identify:
- Automated rhythm-analysis workflow
- Voice prompts
- Text prompts
- Self-adhesive disposable electrode pads
The AED configuration is intended for trained professional emergency-care environments according to applicable clinical protocols.
Patient Monitoring
The Medion Cardiomax can be configured with additional patient-monitoring modules.
ECG
Optional 3-lead or 5-lead ECG monitoring is available.
SpO₂
Optional pulse oximetry (SpO₂) provides oxygen saturation monitoring.
NIBP
Optional non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring is available.
EtCO₂
Optional capnography / EtCO₂ monitoring can provide carbon-dioxide monitoring where the applicable module is installed.
Non-Invasive Pacing
An optional non-invasive external pacemaker module is also identified in the supplied specifications.
Display
Depending on configuration, the Cardiomax uses a 7-inch to 8.4-inch active-matrix color TFT display.
The display provides:
- Color visualization
- Real-time waveform display
- Patient-monitoring information
- Defibrillation-related information
The exact screen size depends on the particular configuration.
Defibrillation Paddles & Electrodes
The standard box information identifies multifunctional paddles and disposable electrode options.
Integrated-Handle Paddles
The Cardiomax supports adult and pediatric multifunctional integrated-handle paddles.
The paddles include:
- Contact bargraph
- Charge control
- Shock control
- Adult/pediatric configurations
Disposable Electrodes
Self-adhesive disposable electrode pads are also specified for AED and monitoring applications.
Battery & Power Supply
The Cardiomax uses a removable rechargeable battery configuration.
Depending on the supplied configuration, the battery may be:
-
Lithium-ion (Li-Ion), or
- Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH)
The system also supports AC power through a 100–220V AC, 50/60Hz input.
The removable battery design supports portable emergency operation.
Charging Performance
The supplied specifications state a charge time of:
Less than 6 seconds to maximum energy (360J).
Actual charging performance can vary with battery condition, power source and configuration.
Thermal Recorder / Printer
The Cardiomax incorporates a thermal recorder/printer for printing relevant monitoring or event information.
The standard box information includes thermal recorder paper rolls.
Portable Design
The Cardiomax is designed for emergency transport and mobile clinical use.
The supplied weight range is approximately:
5.15 kg to 6 kg, including battery and paddles, depending on configuration.
A carrying or transport case is also included in the supplied standard box content.
Standard Box Contents
