Description
The LifeVac is a non-powered, non-invasive, single-use-only airway clearance device developed for resuscitating a victim with an airway obstruction when current choking protocols have been followed without success. LifeVac has a one-way valve that does not allow air to enter a choking victim on the downward motion. The LifeVac comes fully equipped with an adult mask, a pediatric mask, and a practice mask. The duration of the suction is minimal which makes LifeVac safe and effective. LifeVac is easy to use in an obstructed airway emergency.
Free online training is available.
In the United States, LifeVac is registered with and fully regulated by the FDA as a Class 2 Suction Apparatus and is exempt from pre-market clearance. Furthermore, it is the only non-invasive airway clearance device peer-reviewed by the medical industry.
The American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council has approved Anti-Choking Devices in its Review in 2023. It is supported as an adjunct if the traditional back blows and abdominal thrusts are ineffective or cannot be performed.
How does Lifevac Work?
LifeVac is a simple airway clearance device that can be used on adults and children, requires only seconds to use, and can be administered by anyone in a choking emergency. Our patented design utilizes non-invasive suction and a one-way valve system to remove food, phlegm, or a foreign object that is lodged in a person’s throat or windpipe, causing an airway obstruction. To operate this life-saving device, it is as easy as placing the mask over the victim’s nose and mouth, pushing down on the LifeVac handle, and pulling it back up rapidly.
