Harloff Premium Large Malignant Hyperthermia Cart (MH5302K-AC)

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but life-threatening reaction to certain anesthesia drugs, and the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) and Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) both recommend keeping a dedicated, fully-stocked MH cart within immediate reach of every OR and PACU. The Harloff MH5302K-AC is built for exactly that: an emergency cart with a built-in lab-quality refrigerator, a mixed one 3" and one 6" drawer configuration, and a mechanical key lock, so staff can retrieve Dantrolene, IV supplies, and refrigerated saline or insulin within seconds during an MH event.

The cart is built on Harloff's 20-gauge powder-coated steel body, the same 5000-series MH cart platform used across Harloff's malignant hyperthermia line, with rolling casters and a removable plastic top. Instead of three matching 3" drawers, this configuration pairs one 3" drawer with one deeper 6" drawer (23"W x 17"D usable interior), giving departments a taller compartment for bulkier supplies alongside standard drawer storage, all sitting above a dedicated compartment for the pre-installed refrigerator.

Cold storage is handled by a built-in Accucold 2.4 cu. ft. lab-quality refrigerator (model FF28LWHMED2) finished in white with a blue control panel. It uses fan-forced cooling for even top-to-bottom temperature control, non-CFC R134a refrigerant, epoxy-coated adjustable wire shelving, and a glycol-filled thermometer probe that meets CDC/VFC cold-chain documentation requirements, important for any facility storing regulated vaccines or medications alongside MH supplies.

Both the drawers and the refrigerator are secured by a mechanical key lock with two keys included, a straightforward, battery-free locking option preferred by facilities that want positive physical security on a life-safety cart without managing electronic access codes. The cart ships standard with a waste container and mounting bracket, a large wire basket, and two chart/document holders, so it arrives ready to stock.

Harloff backs the MH5302K-AC with a 12-year limited warranty on its cabinets, drawers, and bumper frames, plus a 1-year warranty on purchased components like hardware, casters, and locking hardware. Mediplies ships every cart genuine, new, and fully insured to hospitals, surgery centers, and anesthesia departments nationwide.
