LATEST UPDATE...

19 September 2023
|
We thank our patient customers for their understanding as we continue to work through our backlog of orders since our device was featured in the national media in March (that whilst we are grateful for, we did not initiate or solicit). Here is the latest information about our product and shipping times...
Estimated Shipping Times
Our current estimates of shipping times are as follows:
Priority
We are able to prioritise* orders based on health, travel, or anxiety concerns – if you feel that you need your order prioritised please call us on 1300 890 345. We are more than happy to do this because the mission of LifeVac is saving lives.
(* Note that prioritised orders are currently expected to be packaged within 1 - 2 weeks)
Order updates
Our ordering system cannot currently provide individualised updates regarding orders - updates here on our website (and "general" update emails) are how we will continue to convey updated information regarding the delivery of your order.
To quickly get an updated estimate of when your order will ship:
We are still working through all of the emails in our inbox, and there are a lot, so to get a quicker response we recommend calling us or checking here on the website for updates. Please note that we do not use or monitor Facebook as part of our business or to manage enquiries.
Change in LifeVac kit configuration
Due to the size variability in the supply of paediatric masks we are now shipping LifeVac kits with a universal "paediatric" mask, so our Travel kit (in the soft yellow bag) now ships with 3 masks as standard, and our Plastic case kit now ships with 4 masks as standard – this is normal, so do not be alarmed if your kit arrives in this new configuration - the masks supplied still fit the same wide range of patients.
Estimated Shipping Times
Our current estimates of shipping times are as follows:
- May orders: 1 - 3 weeks from today
- Jun/Jul orders: 3 - 4 weeks from today
- Aug/Sep orders: 4 - 5 weeks from today

Welcome to LifeVac
|
The lifesaving airway clearance device for parents, carers and professionals.
Why choose LifeVac to protect the people you care for in a choking emergency?
LifeVac is simple, effective, non-invasive and most importantly safe to use. The team at LifeVac are experts on choking, we have spent years studying choking and helping people save lives when BLS fails. LifeVac is the ONLY airway clearance device with the backing of multiple peer reviewed medical publications, independent medical testing and medical abstracts proving safety and effectiveness. We are proud to say we are scientifically proven to be the safest and most effective airway clearance device in the world. This may not mean much to the average person, but in the medical field this is extremely important as it is very dangerous to use something in an emergency that might not work in the time of need. |
|
Remember: If you use your LifeVac in an emergency, we will replace it free. (*conditions apply)
|
All LifeVac kits now come with a durable outdoor quality vinyl sticker to use on your car window or office/business door/window to inform staff and others of the presence of an airway clearance device.

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 (to treatment time is 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.

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.
