LifeVac is equipped to be used on persons starting at 22 pounds utilizing the pediatric mask. Per our mask manufacturer's recommended guidelines 22 pounds is the minimum weight for the pediatric mask to fit properly. Manufacturers must create specifications where their tests show the product functions optimally.   We have verified testimonials that the rescue device was used successfully under that weight recommendation saving infants' lives. After all other choking rescue measures were unsuccessful the parent used the rescue device at their discretion as a last resort to save their child. LifeVac has safely saved children ranging from 3 weeks old to 13 years old. 

The LifeVac can be used in any position.  (Sitting, standing, laying down). We have had reports where moms have used the rescue device in a high chair, laying their child down on the floor, and even sitting on their lap.

The LifeVac device is one-time use-only airway clearance device. If the LifeVac device is used in a choking emergency and has saved the victim's life, the unit should not be used again for sanitary reasons. If used, please contact us through our website to fill out a "Report a Life Saved" questionnaire.  We will contact you and gladly replace your unit free of charge. (https://lifevac.net/lifevac-saved-a-life-report/). The LifeVac unit can be used multiple times if the obstruction is not dislodged on the first application. The masks should be inspected and consider replacing every 2-3 years.

No.  The LifeVac device will NOT have to be replaced unless used to save the life of a choking victim. Only the masks will need to be replaced every 2-3 years. The outer packaging of the masks indicates an expiration date.  

Yes. The LifeVac was designed to be easy to use. Easy enough that if you live alone, you can use LifeVac on yourself in a choking emergency. Watch the how to video below.

LifeVac is FDA registered as a Class II medical device.  It is exempt from pre-market clearance. The FDA does not require a pre-market review of the LifeVac device. Currently, in the United States, all portable suction devices are required to be registered with the FDA, not approved. 

LifeVac is also available for online purchase in Canada, Europe, South East Europe, Spain, Australia, and Japan.

We have been told by customers they were able to make a purchase using their FSA.  We suggest you contact your tax accountant to see if LifeVac would be eligible as a healthcare expense.

The LifeVac Home kit comes equipped with 3 masks.  The additional mask is a practice mask. We provide customers with a practice mask so they can become familiar with how the rescue device works before an emergency situation occurs. It will also include additional literature and is packaged in a clear zip-close bag. 

The travel kit does not come with the additional mask or additional literature and is packaged in a yellow zip-up bag.  That kit is designed more for those customers that have purchased the home kit and would like an additional unit to take with them on the go.

See below images to see the difference between the two kits.
