- Can the Lifevac push the obstruction further down when it is used?
No. Thanks to LifeVac’s patented one-way valve system, it is simply impossible to push the obstruction further down while using it. When you push down, air does not flow through the mask. Instead, air escapes from the side of the one-way valve. When you pull the mask back up, the suction effect is created, which is necessary to safely remove an obstruction in the event of a choking incident. - Can LifeVac be used on anyone who is choking?
LifeVac can be used to protect all family members.
LifeVac is equipped so that child masks can be used for children weighing up to 10 kg (22 pounds) or more. The adult mask is intended for adults and seniors. Both the child mask and the adult mask are included in every home and travel kit.
Unlike the traditional Heimlich maneuver, LifeVac is also suitable for people with illnesses, disorders, medical problems, or other health issues. - Can LifeVac be used more than once?
Yes and no… LifeVac can be used multiple times if the obstruction is not removed during the first use.
However, the LifeVac device is intended for single use only. In a choking emergency, LifeVac should be replaced after use.
There are two main reasons why we replace the LifeVac device after it has been used:
1. To avoid a damaged LifeVac. We do not know how the LifeVac device was handled in a panic situation.
2. For hygienic and safety reasons. We do not know how LifeVac was cleaned after a choking incident. Improper cleaning or certain cleaning agents can damage the device.
That is why we replace any device that has been used with a new one for free.
If you had to use LifeVac in a choking emergency and the device saved the victim’s life, please contact us at [email protected] and fill out our saved lives report. Once contact is established, we will gladly send you a new LifeVac device free of charge. - Does LifeVac have an expiration date?
No, the LifeVac one-way valve does not have an expiration date. This means that the LifeVac kit protects your entire family for a lifetime. If you need to use it, we will replace it for free. - Can I use LifeVac on myself?
Yes! One of the best things about LifeVac is that it can be self-administered in a choking emergency (and is highly effective). A life has already been saved this way. - Is LifeVac safe for children?
LifeVac is safe to use for all children. Note that the pediatric mask should only be used for children weighing less than 10 kg.
LifeVac has been shown to be effective in saving children from the age of 3 weeks. When in doubt, it is better to be prepared with a LifeVac. - Is there evidence that LifeVac works and is safe to use in a choking emergency?
Yes, LifeVac can proudly claim that it is the only airway clearance device or suction device that has independent medical testing, expert-reviewed medical publications, and medical summaries demonstrating safety, effectiveness, and lives saved.
This may not mean much in everyday life, but in the medical field, this is crucial, as it is very dangerous to use something in an emergency that does not work when needed.
LifeVac is a registered medical device approved by the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration), Health Canada, the MHRA (medical regulatory and supervisory authority for pharmaceuticals in the United Kingdom), and CE (The CE marking is an indication that a product has been tested by the manufacturer and meets all EU-wide requirements for safety, health protection, and environmental protection.), available for sale. - I found a LifeVac device at a lower price.
If you have found a LifeVac device somewhere else for a fraction of our price or in a different color and are considering buying it… be warned, you are not purchasing a genuine LifeVac device!
Unfortunately, cheap imitations are circulating from companies that steal our patented design and manufacture it in China using cheap materials.
We strongly advise against purchasing these counterfeit products. They can be extremely dangerous, as they do not comply with EU regulations, have not been tested in independent studies, and therefore cannot be proven to work and may fail in a choking emergency…
We at lifevacaustria.at are an official LifeVac seller in Europe and guarantee you a 100% original LifeVac at the lowest possible price.
Every LifeVac is manufactured in Europe from high-quality materials and undergoes extensive manual quality testing to ensure its effectiveness. LifeVac complies with all local and EU regulations and is proven to be the safest, most effective, and easiest-to-use airway clearance device in the world.
And the best part is that LifeVac has no expiration date. One kit covers you and your family for a lifetime. If you need to use it, we will replace it absolutely free of charge. - When can I expect my order?
2-4 working days after you place your order. You will also receive a tracking code.
If you do not receive an email after ordering, please check your spam folder. - Can I get a discount if I order more than one LifeVac?
Absolutely! We have created a special offer on this website with discounted packages so you can order multiple LifeVac devices at the best possible price.
Remember, LifeVac is like a fire extinguisher – having one when you need it is crucial. Instead of constantly thinking about carrying one with you, you should have a LifeVac at home, in your car, and at work… that way, you always have one on hand when an emergency arises. - Can LifeVac harm the lungs and body of a choking victim?
No, LifeVac has been independently tested and is proven to be 100% safe to use. By placing, pushing, and pulling, only the necessary amount of suction power is generated to remove the obstruction, and the lungs and body of the choking victim are NOT harmed.
To further illustrate: LifeVac has a suction volume of 200 ml. When you compare this to the volume of a lung, which is 1200 ml after complete exhalation, you can easily see that LifeVac only applies the suction power necessary to remove an airway obstruction.
After saving more than 3,000 lives with zero negative cases, we can confidently say that it is safe to use.
