Why Choose the Mindray C1A AED?

The Mindray C1A is one of the most compact public-access defibrillators available in the UK, weighing around 2.0–2.3 kg including battery. Its intuitive design means that, even under stress, any bystander, trained or not, can follow its spoken prompts and visual diagrams to deliver a shock and start CPR quickly and correctly.

London Hearts & UK Public Access

The Mindray C1A is also currently being supplied through the London Hearts Community AED Programme, where you can apply for an AED, supported by the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC). It meets all UKCA/CE marking requirements and is fully compliant with MHRA regulations for medical devices.

That means:

  • It can be confidently registered on The Circuit, the UK’s national defibrillator database operated by the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
  • It appears on local responder maps to improve emergency visibility and response times.

Key Features & Benefits

Compact & Lightweight

Slip it into any of our indoor or outdoor AED cabinets without dominating wall space.

Clear Voice & Visual Prompts

The C1A guides you through pad placement, shock delivery, and CPR timing using calm, simple instructions and pictograms. Its ResQNavi™ interface follows current Resuscitation Council UK and European Resuscitation Council recommendations.

Automated Self-Tests

The C1A performs daily self-checks and displays a green status indicator when the battery, pads, and internal systems are fully operational.

Easy Maintenance

Pads typically need replacing every 4–5 years or after use, and the battery lasts up to 5 years under normal use with daily self-tests. Genuine Mindray pads and battery packs are available from us.
