LifeVac - Choking Rescue Device Home Kit for Adult and Children First Aid Kit, Portable

Product Information

The MHRA told the Observer that updated regulatory guidance regarding anti-choking devices would be published in due course. If they are still choking, perform abdominal thrusts - watch this St John Ambulance video for step by step instructions. If you ever have to use your LifeVac regulated medical device in a real life situation, simply contact us and we will replace it free of charge. Being non-invasive means there are no tubes that risk pushing the tongue back, obstruction further down or oral damage. It does not include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.

Suction devices which generate a ‘negative’ (sub-atmospheric) pressure will not damage distal tissues beyond the larynx. Information and statements about products are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Don’t worry, we will only contact you with regards to your enquiry and your details will be deleted forever after an appropriate period of time. Wall Mounting Kit complete with LifeVac Unit, LifeVac Instruction Booklet, A3 Laminated BLS Poster, 1 Paediatric Mask, 1 Small Child/Adult Mask, 2 Medium Adult (1 test) masks, 1 Large Adult Mask and feedback form. Working across multiple sectors we support clients to train staff and implement the life-saving equipment across their settings.Supplied in a compact and easy to carry zipped bag for easy storage, ideal for cars, motorhomes and carrying in handbags.

Apply the top of the LifeVac mask on the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows, and the bottom of the mask between the bottom lip and chin. We are certain non-invasive hand held suction devices will become part of the standard first aid choking protocol at some point in the future as LifeVac® is saving lives when BLS first aid fails. If they are still choking, lie them on their back on your lap and give up to five downward chest thrusts.

Furthermore, as the device is primarily recommended for use in care homes or similiar environments where trained individuals are present, and as the choker would need to be laid prone, the LifeVac is not recommended to be used on yourself. If possible the person making the claim should complete this form, but a family member, carer or medical professional may complete the form on the claimants behalf. We have helped dislodge many things from a child’s airway such as: grapes, marbles, coins, popcorn, hot dog, hard boiled sweets, plastic, marshmallow, sandwiches, leafs, yogurt, crisps and much more. He also advised to cut hot dogs or sausages lengthways - slicing them across into little circles or chunks makes it more dangerous than not slicing at all - and to cut grapes into quarters, ideally.
