Training
CPR practice without a full manikin
Compression Pad training for short, frequent staff drills — dual-use hardware that also guides compressions in an emergency.
Short practice beats rare, heavy drills
Most facility teams already know the SOP. The operational gap is often skill decay between infrequent courses — and the logistics of dragging a full manikin into every short refresh.
VitalSigns states the CPRAIDR® training package includes a Compression Pad so staff can practise compressions without a full manikin. A manikin remains useful if you also want to practise ventilations.

Dual-use: same device for practice and emergency
CPRAIDR® is a dual-use CPR assistant:
- Training mode — Compression Pad + app-based technique coach for short, frequent drills on depth, rate/rhythm, and full chest release.
- Emergency mode — wall grab, place on an adult chest, one-button activation, audio and light guidance until professional help arrives.
The app coaches technique; it is not a diagnostic or treatment system. VitalSigns states CPRAIDR® is a training and support tool, not a medical treatment method.
Who this helps
- Facilities, HSE, and club operations — run short refresh drills duty managers will actually schedule.
- Commercial CPR trainers — add dual-use hardware to existing course kits (contact us to discuss partnership terms).
Alongside AEDs — not instead of them
Early CPR and early defibrillation are both part of the chain of survival. In the first few minutes before help arrives, what matters is how quickly someone can reach the nearest AED and start CPR (American Heart Association / European Resuscitation Council public guidance) — that is planning context, not a CPRAIDR® efficacy claim.
VitalSigns states CPRAIDR® can be used in parallel with defibrillators without interfering. Details: AED and CPRAIDR®.
Adult 18+
Manufacturer FAQ: intended for adult patients 18+; not for children or infants as patients.
