LifeVac is a simple Airway Clearance Device that can be used in a choking emergency to remove the obstruction. Contrary to current choking protocols that revolve around generating positive pressure from underneath the obstruction, LifeVac implements negative pressure using non-invasive suction from the mouth of the choking victim. Unfortunately, current choking protocols do not always work and LifeVac is a complimentary product that is essential.
While LifeVac can be found in hospitals and on ambulances, the majority of our saves come from lay people. We have countless reports of mothers saving a child at home, a colleague saving another employee in the breakroom, teachers saving the life of a student, and restaurant employees saving the life of a patron.
The average emergency response time is 7 to 12 minutes.
