I moved from brand to devices last year; for “offline-friendly tools” I preload two 60–90s demo videos and a one‑pager in the iPad Files app and mirror with a cheap HDMI adapter when clinics have spotty Wi‑Fi — the quick visuals land better than a deck. Small caveat: add a QR on the printout to the full IFU they can review later, but run the assets past compliance first.
What’s worked for me: a 90‑sec Keynote micro‑demo with tap‑to‑advance animations and embedded video — it runs fully offline and I can AirDrop it to educators for reuse. Small caveat: fonts/autoplay can break on clinic PCs, so I keep a PDF export and a USB‑C thumb drive; Guided Access keeps notifications from popping up (Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support). For folks moving from brand, it scratches the same storyboard muscle while fitting those “offline-friendly tools” constraints.
