FDA-Authorized

The people you worry about may not all live under one roof. But you can still protect them.

Your kids may be going off on their own now. Your parents may be getting older. You want to know they're protected if there's an emergency. You already make sure they have smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, a first-aid kit. LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device as a second-line treatment — a simple, non-powered tool that helps clear a blocked airway when standard choking rescue protocol has failed. Over 6,500 lives saved, and counting.

A calm, capable adult at home

You can't predict an emergency,
but you can prepare for one.

You don't install smoke detectors because you expect a fire; you install them because fires can happen, and being prepared can save lives. A choking emergency is no different. Choking is one of the leading causes of accidental death and can happen in seconds with no warning. That's why LifeVac is designed to be there when every second counts.

There are imitations.
There's only one LifeVac.

Look-alikes have flooded the market. Only LifeVac has earned the authorization, research, and proven track record to back it up.

It's as easy as place, push, pull.

Three panels showing how to place the mask, push the handle down, and pull it up

1 · Place

Place the appropriate-sized mask over the nose and mouth, creating a good seal.

2 · Push

While holding the mask in place, use your other hand to push the handle down.

3 · Pull

Without breaking the seal, pull the handle upward in a short, swift motion.

LifeVac will never push an object further into the airway. Its one-way valve ensures that air escapes through the vents on the device, and not into the victim, when the plunger is pushed. When you pull the plunger up, it creates suction to remove the obstruction. It can be used standing, sitting, or lying down — and even on yourself.

Practice before you ever need it. Every Home Kit includes a practice mask, so the first time you use it isn't during an emergency. If you ever use your LifeVac during a choking emergency, we'll replace your device free.

In a choking emergency, always:

  1. Call 911 immediately.
  2. Perform standard choking rescue (5 back blows, 5 abdominal thrusts).
  3. Use LifeVac only if standard choking protocol has failed.

LifeVac is a second-line treatment. It does not replace calling 911 or performing standard rescue protocols. We strongly encourage every customer to watch the training video before an emergency occurs.

Three generations of a family together at home

Being prepared means having protection wherever the people you care about live, travel, and gather.

Your kitchen is where your family eats every day, making it the perfect place to start. But choking emergencies aren't limited to home. They can happen at a restaurant, in your parents' home, your child's first apartment. The good news? You're the kind of person who thinks ahead.

LifeVac is designed for adults and children ages 1 and up. It can be used on someone else or even yourself. It's also a vital option when standard techniques are difficult to perform, especially for those who are pregnant, elderly, frail, or use a wheelchair.

Real stories. Real lives saved.

Thousands of families kept a LifeVac on hand before they ever needed it. Here's what happened when the moment came.

"I purchased the Lifevac Home Kit out of safety precaution. I haven't had to use it, but should something happen, I want to be prepared. I like that it has both the adult and pediatric size masks. Every home should have one. As they say, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."

"Purchased this for my son's family. I have two grandchildren who participate in a variety of activities with their friends. I decided it would be wise to be prepared for a potential choking event both in their home and at all their activities. My son keeps one kit is his home, one in his car, and I'm keeping one with me. Hopefully we will never need to use them, but being prepared is the best way to go."

"Best insurance to have!! This is my second purchase. I have one in my house, one in my camper, gave one to elderly parents, one to carry in purse, and an extra... This small purchase will be worth EVERY penny and the best insurance if heaven forbid we ever need it."
—Tina

Questions, answered.

Is LifeVac FDA-authorized?
Yes. LifeVac is the first and only FDA-Authorized Suction Anti-Choking Device as a second-line treatment (De Novo classification, Class II medical device).
Do I need training to use it?
We strongly encourage all customers to review our training video and become familiar with LifeVac's proper usage as soon as possible to help ensure you are confident and ready to respond effectively in an emergency.
Can I use it on my parents, or someone difficult to do abdominal thrusts on?
Yes. LifeVac is especially valuable for those who are elderly, frail, or use a wheelchair, as it may be difficult to perform BLS protocols on them. It can also be used on yourself, making it vital for those who live alone.
What ages is it for?
Adults and children age 1 and older. Every kit includes both adult and pediatric masks.
Should LifeVac be used before abdominal thrusts?
No. In a choking emergency, always call 911 first, then perform standard choking rescue — five back blows and five abdominal thrusts. LifeVac is a second-line treatment, used only if standard choking protocol has failed.
Do I need more than one?
A choking emergency doesn't wait for you to be in the right room. Most households keep one LifeVac at home and one in the car, but preparedness can look different for every family. Some keep one in their diaper bag, at a parent or grandparent's home, or with their child when they go to college or move into their first apartment. Our bundles make it easy to prepare for the people and places that matter most. And if you ever use your LifeVac in an emergency, we'll replace it for free.

You protect your family in a hundred ways. Here's one more.

Make choking preparedness part of your emergency plan — at home, in the car, and wherever your family is.
