How Does the Lifevac Choking Rescue Device Work
The LifeVac choking rescue device is a non-powered, single-use, portable suction device designed for clearing an upper airway obstruction when standard choking protocol has been followed without success. The LifeVac comes with adult and pediatric masks, and the masks should be replaced every three years.
