Harloff Premium Large Malignant Hyperthermia Cart (MH5300E)

The Harloff MH5300E Malignant Hyperthermia Cart pairs a built-in, lab-quality Follett® REF2 1.8 cubic foot medical-grade refrigerator with three 3″ storage drawers so that every medication and supply needed for an MH crisis, dantrolene, sterile water, syringes, IV supplies, insulin, cold packs, and saline, is staged in one mobile unit, at the correct temperature, close to the OR. The drawers close with a basic electronic push-button lock for quick staff access, while the refrigerator door locks independently with its own key cylinder, keeping temperature-sensitive medications secured separately from general supplies.

The Follett REF2 refrigerator is stainless steel inside and out, runs on non-CFC R134a refrigerant with a forced-air cooling system, and gives staff an LED exterior display with user-programmable temperature settings so the unit can be monitored at a glance without opening the door. Inside, epoxy-coated wire shelves adjust in ½″ increments to fit vials, IV bags, and cold packs, and the door is field-reversible to fit either side of a room. The cart body is 20-gauge powder-coated steel, ships ready to roll with casters already installed, and includes a removable plastic work top.

This configuration ships with Harloff's accessory package, a wall-mount waste container, a large wire storage basket, and two chart/document holders, so the cart is ready to stock and deploy without ordering extras, and optional locking side storage cabinets can be added later for additional supply capacity. Anesthesia and surgical teams use carts like this to meet AANA and MHAUS recommendations that MH treatment supplies be centralized and immediately accessible, since MHAUS guidance calls for dantrolene to be available within minutes of recognizing a crisis in any facility administering triggering anesthetic agents.

Harloff (Colorado Springs, CO, now part of Capsa Healthcare) has built clinical carts and cabinets since the 1980s and stands behind the MH5300E with a 12-year limited manufacturer's warranty on US/Canada shipments (5-year international) plus a 1-year limited warranty on bought-out components. The cart is available in more than twenty powder-coat color finishes to match OR, anesthesia, or pre-op department standards.
