Harloff Premium Large Malignant Hyperthermia Cart (MH4503K)

The Premium Large Malignant Hyperthermia Cart from Harloff is a purpose-built emergency response cart designed to keep every supply an anesthesia team needs for a Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) crisis organized, secured, and immediately at hand. Malignant Hyperthermia is a rare but life-threatening reaction to certain anesthesia agents and succinylcholine, and both the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) and the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) recommend that every facility administering general anesthesia keep a dedicated, ready-to-roll MH cart. Harloff built this cart specifically to answer that recommendation, making it a standard fixture in OR cores, anesthesia departments, and PACUs.

What sets this cart apart from a standard supply cart is its built-in Follett #REF2 laboratory-grade refrigerator with 1.8 cubic feet of capacity, enough to keep iced/chilled saline, dantrolene reconstitution diluent, and other temperature-sensitive MH treatment supplies at the correct temperature right at the point of care, instead of forcing staff to run to a separate department refrigerator during a time-critical crisis. The refrigerator is fully integrated into the cart body rather than bolted on as an afterthought, keeping the unit compact enough to store in an OR core or anesthesia workroom.

Above the refrigerator, the cart provides dedicated drawer storage sized for an MH kit: one 3-inch drawer plus two 6-inch drawers, giving separate, organized space for dantrolene vials, sterile water/diluent, syringes and IV supplies, cooling equipment, and the facility's MH treatment protocol cards. Both the storage drawers and the refrigerator are key-locked, so controlled MH medications and supplies stay secure between uses while remaining quickly accessible to authorized staff the moment a code is called. This "Premium Large" configuration ships with no external accessories included, letting each facility outfit the drawers with its own organizers, bins, or dividers to match its specific MH protocol.

Built by Harloff, now part of Capsa Healthcare's clinical storage portfolio, on the same mobile cart platform used across its acute-care cart line, this Malignant Hyperthermia Cart rolls easily to the OR or PACU bedside during an emergency and back to storage between uses. Mediplies stocks it for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and office-based surgery suites that need a dedicated, compliant, refrigerated MH response cart ready at all times.
