LifeVac Airway Clearance Device – Inspection and Testing
The LifeVac® Airway Clearance Device has been designed for many years of trouble-free operation.
Each LifeVac® kit contains a specified number of interchangeable masks, the LifeVac® device, instructions for use, and an emergency chart for choking. The masks included in the kit typically have a shelf life of 3 years, depending on the environmental conditions they are exposed to.
(Replacement masks can be purchased in our online store.)
Like any emergency equipment, regular inspection is recommended to ensure the components are all functional and present in the event of a choking emergency. The frequency of the inspection should not exceed 12 months. (In a workplace setting, this would ideally coincide with other equipment checks.)
In order to make this inspection process as easy as possible, we have developed a comprehensive inspection procedure and checklist - downloadable in PDF format here.
General Care
Store the LifeVac® unit in a safe, dry, and easily accessible location in case of an
emergency.
Do not store the unit in direct sunlight or in hot or very cold environments
as this may affect the durability of the device.
No maintenance of your LifeVac® device
is required.
An annual inspection is recommended to check all the components are
present and mask seals are still inflated.
The masks included in the LifeVac® kit have a
shelf life - the expiry date is printed on the individual mask packaging. Replacement masks can be purchased in our online store.
