Hundreds of orders a week has overnight suddenly turned into thousands.
It is great to know more lives will be saved from choking than ever before, however this has put huge demands on the suppliers of all the components of our kits and overwhelmed our capacity to fulfill our orders as promptly as we would like. We do have plenty of stock to cover the demand and have already leased a new premises. We are please to announce that we have engaged with the fantastic, dedicated staff at the Mai-Wel Group to help us with the assembly of our kits.

While we appreciate many customers are anxious to receive their orders to provide peace of mind, rest assured we are working very hard to get the LifeVac out to customers as quickly as possible.

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.
