An ACLS Code Timer for CPR and Cardiac Arrest During intense ACLS codes, simplicity is key for clear decision making. Pink code timer breaks it down to the bare minimum with two parallel timers that handle the heavy lifting. One for 2-minute CPR cycles, with built-in pulse check prompts, the other for epinephrine intervals. Log other medications and defibrillations with a single tap. When the code ends, you get a clean chronological summary of everything timed and administered. The interface is built to be minimal with high-contrast, making it easier to see during stressful situations. Our characteristic hot-pink theme is a gentle nod to all of those strong women in healthcare. Pink is powerful.
