New PHILIPS Expression MR200

The Philips Expression MR200 is an MRI‑compatible patient monitor designed to provide bedside‑quality vital signs monitoring in the MR environment up to 3 Tesla.

What the MR200 is
The Expression MR200 is a dedicated MRI patient monitoring system for use during induction, transport, scanning and recovery around an MR scanner.

It is intended to monitor sedated or anesthetized patients’ vital signs while they are inside or near the MRI bore.

Key clinical parameters
Standard monitored parameters include wireless ECG, wireless SpO2, non‑invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and optional CO2, with simultaneous display of multiple waveforms and numerics.

The system provides visual and audible alarms, pulse tones, and gating outputs (digital pulse and analog waveform) for synchronization with MRI systems.

MRI compatibility
The MR200 is specified for use in magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss and is compatible with 1.5T and 3T MR systems, supporting operation at up to 4 W/kg SAR.

Wireless modules and RF‑shielded design help reduce interference with image quality while maintaining reliable signal acquisition.

Hardware and ergonomics
The monitor uses a 12.1‑inch integral color LCD display (800×600) with colored waveforms, large numerics and a user‑friendly interface.

It is typically supplied on a roll‑around cart with integrated batteries that provide up to about 8 hours of operation, plus separate batteries for wireless ECG and SpO2 modules.

Accessories and documentation
Dedicated MR‑compatible accessories include ECG leads, SpO2 sensors, NIBP cuffs and CO2 sampling lines designed for use in high magnetic fields.

Full specifications, operating instructions and regulatory updates are available in the Philips Expression MR200 operator’s manual and errata sheets.
