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.
