Important: LifeVac® should only be used after established choking procedures (such as back blows and abdominal thrusts) have been attempted and have not successfully cleared the airway. Always follow your organisation’s first aid procedures and training.

How Does It Work?

LifeVac® features two patented discs that accommodate interchangeable mask sizes, recognising that one size does not fit all. It also incorporates a patented one-way valve system that prevents air from being forced through the mask during use.

LifeVac®’s non-invasive design ensures that no tubes can push the tongue back or drive the obstruction deeper during a panic situation. This design also prevents tubes from becoming blocked, which could otherwise render the device ineffective if only part of the obstruction has been cleared.

How to use a LifeVac®

1Push and twist the selected mask into the base of the LifeVac® unit.

2Hold the mask firmly in place over the casualty's mouth and nose with your less dominant hand, ensuring their head is tilted back.

3Use your dominant hand on the LifeVac® handle, depress and then pull upwards with a short, swift tug while maintaining a firm seal.

4Roll the casualty onto their side, check their mouth to clear any debris, and repeat the process up to five times if the obstruction is not cleared.
