No. Thanks to LifeVac’s patented one-way valve system it’s simply impossible to push the obstruction further down while using it. When you push down the air doesn't pass through the mask. Instead, air goes out through the side of the one-way valve. When you pull up again, it creates the suction effect needed to safely clear an obstruction in a choking emergency.

ifeVac can be used to help protect all family members.

The LifeVac is equipped to use on children as small as 10 kg (22 pounds) or heavier, utilizing the child mask. The adult mask is for use on full-sized adults and seniors. Both the child and adult masks are included in every Home Kit and Travel Kit.

Unlike the traditional Heimlich Maneuver, LifeVac is also effective on those with illness, disorder, medical, or other health-related reasons.

Yes and no... LifeVac can be used multiple times if the obstruction is not dislodged on the first application.

But the LifeVac device is a one-time-use-only apparatus. LifeVac should be replaced after use in a choking emergency.

There are two main reasons why we replace the LifeVac unit after it has been used:
1. To avoid a damaged LifeVac. We don’t know how the LifeVac unit has been handled during a panic situation.
2. For hygienic and safety reasons. We don’t know how the LifeVac was cleaned after a choking emergency. When cleaned incorrectly or with certain cleaning agents, this might cause damage to the device.

That’s why we choose to replace every unit that has been used with a new one for FREE. 

If you’ve had to use LifeVac in a choking emergency and it has saved the victim’s life, please contact us at contact@life-vac.eu to fill out our Saved Life Report. After contact is made, we’ll gladly send you a brand new LifeVac free of charge.

No, the LifeVac one-way valve doesn’t have an expiration date. This means the LifeVac kit covers your entire family for life. If you have to use it, we will replace it absolutely free.

Yes! One of the best things about LifeVac is that it can be self-administered (and is highly effective) during a choking emergency. It has already been used this way to save a life.

Yes! The LifeVac is equipped to use on children starting around the age of 1 year. They should weigh a minimum of 10 kg (22 pounds)

No, LifeVac has been independently tested and is proven to be 100% safe to use. The place, push, and pull motion only creates the necessary amount of suction needed to remove the obstruction and does NOT cause damage to the lungs and body of the choking victim.

To illustrate this further, LifeVac has a suction volume of 200ml. If you compare this to the volume of a lung, which, after completely exhaling, is 1200ml, you can easily see that LifeVac only uses the suction force needed to remove an airway obstruction.

After saving 1398 lives with zero negative cases, we can confidently say it’s safe to use.
