Primedic HeartSave myPAD Training Unit with LCD Display

LCD Screen - Audio and Visual Guidance

The LCD screen displays CPR support information and AED deployment data throughout the simulated rescue sequence. Trainees follow both voice prompts and on-screen instructions simultaneously, exactly as they would with the live device. This is a meaningful step up from audio-only trainer units: it prepares trainees for the full sensory experience of the real AED and removes any element of surprise when they encounter the screen under pressure.

Remote Control - Instructor Scenario Management

The included wireless remote control allows the instructor to manage training sessions without interrupting the exercise. Shock moments can be triggered at the appropriate stage, different scenario types can be selected, and session parameters adjusted mid-exercise. For group training sessions where multiple participants rotate through the device, the remote keeps things moving without requiring the instructor to step in and reset the unit between each run.

Paediatric Function - 15:2 Protocol

The baby/child button activates the paediatric resuscitation protocol automatically, switching to the 15:2 compression-to-breath ratio recommended for child resuscitation. Instructors can run paediatric defibrillation scenarios within the same session, using the same device, without any additional equipment.

Reusable Training Electrodes

The training electrodes are compatible with all standard CPR manikins. The adhesive layer maintains its properties across repeated sessions, making them practical and economical for regular training programmes. The training pad's cable connector is included for full assembly during exercises. Unlike the electrode pads in the live device, the training electrodes do not need to be replaced after each session under normal use.

Rechargeable Trainer Battery

The training unit uses a rechargeable trainer battery rather than the non-rechargeable primary battery in the live HeartSave myPAD. The charger is included. This is a practical design for training use: the device can be recharged between sessions at no ongoing consumable cost, which keeps the economics of running regular training programmes straightforward.

Lightweight and Portable

At 1 kg, the training unit is built to be carried. For instructors who deliver training across multiple locations, offices, schools, leisure centres, and community venues, the compact size and light weight make it straightforward to include in a standard training bag alongside manikins and other materials.

CPR and First Aid Instructors

If you deliver CPR or first aid training to organisations that use or are considering the Primedic HeartSave myPAD, this is the natural training tool. Trainees practice on the exact device they will encounter in the field, which removes the gap between training experience and real-world response. The remote control makes group session management efficient, and the reusable electrodes keep consumable costs low across repeated sessions. The compact size also makes it practical to carry to off-site training sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AED trainer and how is it different from a real AED?

An AED trainer is a non-functioning replica of a defibrillator, designed for training and familiarisation. It looks and behaves identically to its clinical counterpart, the same voice prompts, the same screen instructions, the same physical layout, but it does not deliver an electrical shock. This makes it safe to use repeatedly with trainees of any experience level. The Primedic HeartSave myPAD Training Unit is the official trainer produced by the same manufacturer as the live HeartSave myPAD AED.

Why use a dedicated trainer rather than the real AED for practice?

Using the live AED for training depletes its battery and consumable electrode pads without a clinical justification, and in most settings, it means the device is temporarily out of service during the session. A dedicated trainer allows unlimited practice at no ongoing cost, without affecting the readiness of the real AED. For any organisation with a duty of care to maintain a ready device at all times, a dedicated trainer is the right tool for a regular training programme.

Is the Primedic myPAD Training Unit compatible with any CPR manikin?

Yes. The training electrodes included with this unit are designed for use with all standard CPR manikins. The adhesive layer is reusable and maintains its properties across repeated sessions.

Does the training unit support paediatric training?

Yes. Pressing the baby/child button activates the 15:2 CPR protocol, the standard compression-to-breath ratio for child resuscitation. This allows instructors to run paediatric defibrillation scenarios using the same device, within the same session, without any additional equipment.

Can I use the training unit to practise with the real myPAD at home?

Yes. If your home or workplace has the Primedic HeartSave myPAD installed, the training unit allows every potential responder to become fully familiar with the device before an emergency occurs. The sequence of steps, the screen guidance, the voice prompts, and the physical feel of the device will all be recognisable, which directly affects how quickly and calmly a person responds under pressure.

Does this training unit come with a European plug?

Yes. The charger for the rechargeable trainer battery is supplied with a European plug. A standard UK plug adapter is required to use it with UK sockets. If you have questions about this before ordering, please contact us.

Is this the right trainer if our organisation uses a different AED brand?

This trainer is the official replica of the Primedic HeartSave myPAD. Its primary value is that trainees learn on exactly the device they will use in a real emergency. If your organisation uses a different AED model, a trainer matched to that device will provide the most directly applicable training experience. That said, if you need a compact, capable trainer for general AED familiarisation, this unit is a strong choice. The LCD screen guidance and instructor remote control make it one of the more complete trainers at this price point.
