Welch Allyn PIC 50

Welch Allyn PIC 50 Defibrillator

The Welch Allyn PIC 50 Defibrillator is a portable, semi-automatic defibrillator/monitor designed for both in-hospital and in-transit use. It integrates advanced monitoring features and a defibrillation system with biphasic waveforms to deliver reliable resuscitation therapy. With versatile capabilities—including 12-lead ECG monitoring, noninvasive pacing, and multiple energy selections—the PIC 50 is engineered for rapid response in emergency settings. Its user-friendly design features a 6.5-inch color active matrix TFT display, a built-in ECG printer, and clearly defined buttons that simplify operation during critical events. Optional accessories further enhance its functionality for adult defibrillation.

Key Features

  • Uses biphasic, low-current, impedance-compensated, truncated exponential waveforms for defibrillation.

• Advanced Monitoring Capabilities:

  • Offers 12-lead ECG monitoring, with input options via paddles, patient cables, or multifunctional hands-free adapters.
  • Monitors additional parameters such as SpO₂, and displays waveform data on a high-resolution color screen.

• User-Friendly Design:

  • Portable and lightweight design, ideal for both in-hospital and transport use.
  • Clear, intuitive interface with a 6.5-inch active matrix TFT display for easy viewing.
  • Built-in ECG printer for immediate documentation of patient events.

• Rapid Charge and Energy Delivery:

  • Charges to deliver up to 360 joules in under 10 seconds (typical) ensuring quick readiness.
  • Audible and visual charge indicators inform the user of battery status and readiness.

• Flexible Connectivity:

  • Optional communication modules support cellular, fax, and data card transfers for seamless data management.
