## What is DART Sim CCF?

DART Sim CCF measures what matters most in a CPR scenario: the chest compression fraction, live, for the whole code.

Press START CODE, and the first compression starts the clock. Tap the big panel when hands come off the chest and again when compressions resume. The ring shows the fraction as it happens, lime at the 80% target and amber below it, while the tiles count compression time, hands-off time and pauses.

BUILT FOR INSTRUCTORS
• Live CCF = compression time ÷ code time, from the first compression to END CODE. No fixed cycle ever forces a restart.
• Rhythm-check prompt every 2 minutes, restarting when compressions resume after a check.
• Every hands-off interval is timed and listed. At 10 seconds the app beeps loudly and buzzes, and keeps beeping every 2 seconds until compressions resume.
• Metronome at 100, 110 or 120 per minute with a clean click. Works with the Ring/Silent switch on silent.
• One tap logs SHOCK (200 J), EPI (1 mg), RHYTHM, PULSE, AIRWAY or a NOTE. Long-press SHOCK for 120 to 360 J, EPI for epinephrine 0.5 mg, amiodarone or lidocaine. RHYTHM and PULSE start the hands-off timer for you.
• The screen stays awake for the whole code.

CODE SUMMARY
• Final CCF with a target-met chip, code, compression and hands-off times.
• Pauses, longest pause and average pause.
• A colour timeline of compressions, pauses and events, and the event list with hands-off seconds next to each.
• SHARE sends the summary as text or a one-page PDF to Messages, Mail or Files.
• NEXT GROUP resets in one tap and keeps the result in today's list.

RUN A CLASS
• Name each team, pick the scenario, and compare today's groups side by side.
• Every code is saved on the device. Open any earlier result from today's list.
• English and Spanish, switchable inside the app.

Designed for BLS, ACLS and PALS courses, skills checks and in-house mock codes. iPhone and iPad.

DART Sim CCF is a training tool for simulated patients and manikins. It is not a medical device and must not be used on real patients.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-02-17*

Neither cpr nor stop timers work. Ccf not calculated. Is just a metronome but with a slightly irregular sounding beat (i think they just cary the pitch in every 5th beat or something but it makes it sound out if time.)

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-12-08*

Only works with special watch that costs over $500

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-12-08*

Does not work on iPhone 16

### 1/5 — Not a very useful app

*2024-11-26*

Disappointed with this app. 
Reason why: you need to change/estimate how long the code is going to run for. When in practicing case scenarios it’s not always known how long a practice code is going to last. Even if you over shoot how long a code is going to run - you don’t get an accurate CCF. I was hopeful this app would work as well at the free android app. When you start the code the time clock should click up & when the code is done - the CCF should calculate. Hopefully the developers can fix this problem.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-07-03*

App will not work on Apple phone. Requesting a refund worked just as well!

### 4/5 — I use this application CCF Calculator for 2+people Basic Life Support Instruction

*2024-05-29*

I have been using this application to emphasize the evidence-based ROC Trials results for AHA (Chest Compression Fraction) of 80% or higher and to increase survival of our Cardiac Arrest Patients.

I usually assign 4 students per 2-rescuer BLS scenario. I start using a short demonstration for my students on the Competencies expected for this portion of Basic Life Support. Often is turns into a low-key competition between groups with encouraging remarks and applause if 90% or higher is achieved. A wonderfully supportive tool for my students with lots of positive feedback.

I use this app on a iPad MacBook Air device. However, I need to close the application completely before the next group is tested.

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2023-01-12*

This is a terrible app. No tutorial. Stuck in note mode. Does not keep two times like you need for CCF. Have to restart every two min. As if a code only lasts two min. Could be so much better if two timers that you could manipulate and a continuous 2 min count down as well.

### 1/5 — Does not work well on iPhone

*2021-10-22*

I really wanted to have a great app like this. Cannot get the CCF to show up on my iPhone. No instructions, no settings, trying to figure out the app. I finally got the CCF to show up once by tap in holding the dart Sim icon? And then it never came up again. The mail or message feature, does not work. Try tapping on that, tapping in holding, nothing seems to work.

**Developer response:** Hi LShields,

Thank you for your feedback. I will look into the issue you described. Thank you, Erik

### 1/5 — Note is not working

*2021-08-15*

The app keeps getting stuck in note mode. There is no other way to get out of the note as to restart the app. Useless

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. I work on a fix for this issue. Thank you, Erik.

### 5/5 — Great little App!

*2021-05-06*

I have my students download this app when doing the multiple rescuer CPR in my BLS Classes. One student is compressing, the other rescue breathing, the other AED use and one controlling the CCF App. The person with the app is keeping track of compressions. There is even a notes feature that allows you to keep track of shocks given. You can then after the code share with a friend or just take a screenshot for debriefing. For ACLS this is great because you can have an extra roll for someone keeping track of high quality CPR. With the App they can keep track and note what medications were given, shocks and whatever else. It’s a great tool!
