Perfect for public-facing environments such as schools, nurseries, care homes and restaurants, this kit’s primary features are the LifeVac® patented anti-choking device, wall-mountable cabinet, and laminated poster that makes the cabinet easy to spot and gives clear, illustrated instructions on how to use the device.

Here’s a quick guide on the use of the device, the instruction booklet included in the kit gives more details:

• Start by choosing the correctly-sized mask for the casualty and attach to the base of the device (the yellow ring)
• Position the mask so that the top is just above the bridge of the nose, and the bottom is below the lower lip but above the chin
• Hold the mask in place with your non-dominant hand and use your dominant one to depress the bellows
• As soon as the bellows are fully depressed, pull the handle back swiftly to generate the suction that removes the object
• Repeat the two previous steps until successful or until emergency services arrive
• Note: The casualty should always be in a rigid position, either standing, sitting, or lying, before using the LifeVac on them

LifeVac’s anti-choking device is an MHRA recognised method for handling choking incidents, but it firmly remains the official advice that other procedures should be attempted first; this means that emergency services must be called and qualified individuals, who are likely to be present in places like schools and nurseries, should attempt established treatments. After this, using a mechanical device becomes a reasonable step to take if the incident is still unresolved or the ambulance isn’t close by.

You can find a selection of official content from LifeVac under the ‘Training Videos’ tab and a list of contents in the ‘Technical Specification’ tab, but it’s good to know that the kit includes a variety of mask sizes to accommodate casualties of any age or size. The LifeVac Choking Rescue Kit - Wall Mounted is a comprehensive solution for handling choking incidents in public settings when standard measures fail. In stock now at Simply Safety Group.
