ADA Compliance

Choking is the fourth leading cause of accidental death and is particularly dangerous for individuals with disabilities. Often times, it is impossible to perform current choking protocols on a person in a wheelchair or others with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 mandates EQUAL opportunity for Individuals in public accommodations and requires reasonable modifications in order to do so, including the provision of auxiliary aids and services. A simple, portable suction device, such as LifeVac, that can be used on anyone who may be in a wheelchair or others with disabilities, could save a life, when current protocols fail.
