Critical Operational Guidelines

  • Backup Option Only — LifeVac is strictly a backup option and is never intended to replace established, standard choking protocols such as abdominal thrusts or back blows.
  • Correct Usage is Essential — To achieve the required negative suction to dislodge an obstruction, the user must follow the instructions for use exactly as designed.
  • No Guarantees — While highly successful globally, LifeVac is not guaranteed to clear a blocked airway in every scenario.
  • BLS Training Required — LifeSquad strongly recommends all users have current BLS training (AHA/ARC) before relying on any rescue device.
