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.

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 3300 lives with zero negative cases, we can confidently say it’s safe to use.

Yes, LifeVac can proudly say it is the only airway clearance device or suction device with independent medical testing, peer-reviewed medical publications and medical abstracts proving safety, effectiveness and lives saved.

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.
