Dechoker Anti-Choking Device for Adults (Ages 12 Years and up), 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Rather than spending the money on a commercial device, I would recommend parents learn about prevention and preparation,” says Lauren E.

One question that needs to remain under review is the issue of mouth trauma; in this small sample the findings were inconclusive. Ethical review and approval was not required for the study on human participants in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements.And because the product itself isn’t recommended for children under 22 pounds, it isn’t meant for most babies and smaller toddlers.

In summary, the device was identified as being well designed and easy to use, either singularly or as a team, although it was recommended that training was given to anyone who might use it in an emergency choking situation. The MHRA said LifeVac and Dechoker were registered with the agency and had agreed that the medical devices should not be used on children or marketed for that use. I repeat, you shouldn’t rely on the Heimlich technique every time because it can cause severe internal bleeding when poorly done.

Objectives: An independent evaluation to explore the experiences of health and care professionals who used DeChoker in real-life adult choking emergencies, focusing on the product's safety, efficacy and ease of application. HPC have supplied Hcsuk (Health Care Services Ltd) for well over a decade now and we would consider them to be a high quality and professional business run in an organised and progressive manor. HM Revenue and Customs sets out the conditions when equipment for disabled people might be free of VAT and how to claim exemption from paying VAT on these products. This was particularly relevant when considering basic life support where some protocols might be inappropriate or unachievable for very frail residents, bariatric residents, and/or wheelchair users.
