The study, conducted by the Journal of Pediatric Critical Care, used data spanning 10 years (from 2012-2022), in which time 299 children under 5 years old were successfully resuscitated with LifeVac.

Fakes and counterfeits being sold in Australia!
Our focus, as always, is putting LifeVac in as many hands as possible, and eliminating the fake devices that are still being sold in Australia and throughout the world. These fakes are dangerous, they don't work, and they may even do further harm! It is extremely distressing to think that people like you in our community may unknowingly have these fake devices and think that in a choking emergency that they can be relied upon.
We are a small business, doing all we can to help keep Australians safe, and you can help with this! If you see a fake, report it! We are the only distributor in Australia of the genuine LifeVac device. We have a complete list of our approved resellers who sell the LifeVac on our behalf - any other websites selling "LifeVac" in Australia are fake - please report it using the following link:
Report a fake to the TGA
Together we can make a difference!

Choking can kill in less than 10 minutes
Time is of the essence when somebody begins to choke.
In Australia, the average Ambulance response time is 8-14 minutes!
(Time to commencement of treatment by ambulance officers can be much more!)
4 – 6 minutes of oxygen starvation means brain damage is possible
6 – 10 minutes of oxygen starvation means brain damage is probable
Over 10 minutes of oxygen starvation means the victim is likely to die!
Many people around the world cannot receive conventional treatment for choking due to pregnancy, disability, age, or obesity.
Every second counts.

A rebuttal to the study on which the Kidspot opinion was based has been published in the international, peer-reviewed journal Laryngoscope. This publication is a breakdown of the evidence and the many errors and unfounded assumptions made in this poor quality study; regurgitated by a Kidspot author without fact-checking, without sufficient acumen in the reading of scientific literature, medical device regulation or evidence review processes.

Equal First Aid was formed to advocate for people who are disabled or in a wheelchair in a choking emergency. Currently, during a choking emergency, there are no public measures in place to rescue a person in a wheelchair with an obstruction. Additionally, techniques such as back blows, abdominal thrusts, and chest compressions may be ineffective or unable to be done. No option is not an option. All people deserve a chance in a choking emergency.
* Free replacement applies only to emergency use. A report on your experience needs to be completed. Replacement only applies to the LifeVac unit and masks. Submit your report here: Report LifeVac Usage
