Every second matters during a choking emergency. A blocked airway can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation, especially for children, older adults, and individuals with medical conditions that affect swallowing. At CPR Choice, our mission has always been to help create safer homes, schools, workplaces, churches, restaurants, and communities through CPR training, AED programs, and emergency preparedness.
That’s why we are excited to announce that CPR Choice is now an authorized distributor of LifeVac, the only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device designed for use when standard choking rescue procedures have failed.
LifeVac is a portable, non-powered suction rescue device designed to help remove an airway obstruction during a choking emergency. It uses a patented one-way valve system that helps prevent air from pushing the object deeper into the airway.
The device is intended to be used as a second-line treatment after traditional choking rescue techniques such as back blows and abdominal thrusts have been attempted.
LifeVac can be used on adults and children over 1 year old and may be used on a victim who is lying down, seated, or standing.
