Features of iPAD SP1 Defibrillator
The iPAD SP1 defibrillator is designed with user-friendly features and adaptability in mind, offering a range of features to aid recovery in emergencies. Learn more about these features below, including how the iPAD SP1 supports untrained and trained responders.
Child/ Paediatric Mode
The iPAD SP1 Semi Automatic and Fully Automatic defibrillators can easily switch between adult and child modes without requiring a separate set of pads. This feature saves vital time when responding to Sudden Cardiac Arrest, as there is no requirement to change the pads or cause any delay to the resuscitation process.
To switch between adult and child mode, open the switch cover and set the switch to adult/ child defibrillation mode. A child is classed as a casualty under 25 kg or 8 years old. After the pads are attached, the iPAD SP1 automatically adjusts energy output for defibrillation.

To assist responders in the recovery process, the iPAD SP1 provides clear, step-by-step voice instructions, which light up different buttons of the defibrillator. The voice prompts are designed to be clear and easy to understand for responders of all abilities, helping any bystander through effective defibrillation.
Voice prompts include “Do not touch the patient”, “Analysing heart rhythm”, and “Begin CPR now.”
Durability
Built to last, the iPAD SP1 has a robust design which can withstand tough conditions. Protected against dust and water, the defibrillator is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments such as public spaces, schools and sports centres.
Data Storage and Event Recording
The iPAD SP1 records details of each rescue, storing critical data such as ECG traces and shock events.
This detailed information is valuable for post-event analysis and can be transferred via SD Card and IrDA ports for analysis, which is helpful for medical professionals who need to assess the patient’s condition.
Semi-Automatic vs Fully Automatic
The iPAD SP1 is available as fully automatic and semi-automatic to suit a range of environments with different abilities.
- Semi-Automatic: The iPAD SP1 Semi-Automatic defibrillator requires the responder to press an orange button to shock the casualty, as guided by verbal prompts.
