This non-invasive airway clearance device provides a critical, life-saving solution during choking emergencies by utilizing negative pressure to dislodge obstructions.

FAQs
Does the LifeVac replace the Heimlich maneuver?

Can the device be used on infants?
Yes, the kit includes a pediatric mask specifically designed for younger users.
Do I need training to use this?
The device is designed for intuitive use, but it is highly recommended to review the included instruction booklet and BLS leaflet before an emergency occurs.
Is the device reusable?
The LifeVac unit can be used multiple times, but masks should be inspected and sanitized or replaced according to safety guidelines after use.
Where is the best place to keep the kit?
Keep it in an easily accessible location, such as a handbag, glove compartment, or motorhome storage area, where it can be retrieved within seconds.
Troubleshooting
Mask does not create a seal
Ensure the victim's face is clean of debris and hair. Check that the mask is properly seated over the nose and mouth.
Difficulty selecting the correct mask size
Use the mask that provides the tightest, most comfortable fit covering both the nose and mouth. If in doubt, refer to the included BLS leaflet sizing guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Store the kit in a cool, dry place within your vehicle or bag to maintain the integrity of the medical-grade materials. Regularly check the kit to ensure it has not been tampered with and that the instruction leaflets remain legible. After any use, the device should be inspected for hygiene; if the unit has been used on a victim, it is recommended to replace the disposable components or the unit entirely depending on institutional protocols regarding sanitation and cross-contamination.
