Might want to read this before buying....https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/...e%20tongue.

For thise that dont want to read heres the results:
Results
The DeChoker resulted in gross injury to the tongue and failed to remove the obstruction in all trials. LifeVac was successful in removing the barium‐moistened saltines but failed to remove all other foreign bodies. Both devices applied significant pressure to the tongue.

i see people downvoting others, but the above is a medical study on two commonly available choking devices, including the one which this deal is for. seems a bit like snake oil to me as well
Have a medical doctor in the family who told us the actual studies show these are not only ineffective but can cause severe damage to the tongue. You are FAR better off learning and practicing the Heimlich.
Yeah that's pretty much the deal with everything in life bro...

Paramedic here... I've never heard of this device. Here's what I suspect will happen...

You'll panic trying to locate the device wasting precious time that could have been used doing the Heimlich maneuver and calling 911. You'll find it and then discover the victim has passed out. You'll shove it in and probably cause some trauma to the mouth which will cause a lot of bleeding. You'll pull back on the device trying to "suction" out the object only to find the path of least resistance will likely be the gases and contents of the stomach. So you'll pull back and fill the mouth with stomach contents and blood. Shortly after this you'll try again, thanks to the dead space as you reverse the plunger some of the pulled up contents will then be pressured back down the throat possibly making the object causing the choking to get further stuck.... You'll pull harder the next try which will then collapse the fragile airway and mouth tissues causing nothing to come out, but you did at least succeed in causing more airway damage.

It's about this time the ambulance shows up and discovers the horror show you've managed to create. We'll suction and suction but never fully clear the airway of blood and stomach debris... we'll try to look into the airway and try to find the obstruction, but fail because of all the crap we're trying to look through... We'll do CPR while we try to cut open the throat in a useless attempt to get air into the lungs.... Shortly after we'll pronounce your loved one dead and they'll lay on the kitchen floor covered in a sheet waiting for the medical examiner to show up while you describe to the police what happened.

...maybe just save your money and learn basic first aid from a local class and call 911??

Quote from Hyrax :
Reported this anti science bullshit. This is an FDA approved class 1 device.

For the record, the FDA says this is a safe and effective device. Are you disagreeing with our public health authority? I'll wait.

It's registered in a FDA inspected facility, it is not approved. They worded that intentionally to mislead people, which tells me everything I need to know about the company. If the FDA is your holy grail, this might be of interest.
https://www.fda.gov/inspections-c...9-05102021

As far as anti-science, they linked to a study normally done by physicians and researchers. Results can differ so one would review multiple studies before making a decision, but that IS science.

What do you think the FDA requires for approval?

I'll wait.

Quote from SeriousIdea249 :
The problem with devices like these is that they may not be around when you need it. When someone is choking, you don't have time to go search for the device, and you certainly don't have time to go find the instructions and go through them step by step. It's a good idea though, and cxan come in handy provided you have the device available and know how to use it.

I bought a 3 pack of the life vac and it's kept in very specific places like you would a fire extinguisher. You don't buy something like this and throw it in some random closet or drawer.

I believe he used a life vac and not a dechoker.

I have 2 lifevacs as a last resort for infant choking. Make sure to learn the normal anti choking methods, like Back blows, Heimlich etc. But I have these lifevacs as a backup if those methods fail.
I chose the lifevac over the dechoker for a couple of reasons. It is simpler, it's a plunger over the mouth and that's it. The dechoker has the tongue depressor which makes insertion more difficult and I worry about the dechoker plunger stick breaking.

Would this be easy to modify to attach to a dab rig so that you could "load" hits effectively?

FWIW i actually suffer from an esophageal disorder in which i have experienced near death choking a handful of times. I debated between this device and the LifeVac. After extensive research I decided to go with the LifeVac; it was proven to be more effective, easier to use, and much better warranty/customer serivce. In a situation of life and death, my top priority isnt a slick deal; especially when its your own life.

I have not used the Dechoker; comment is just based off Dr. recommendation, my personal research and health.

When your in a situation where you are alone, performing the Heimlich on yourself, or anything other method of dechoking, is very difficult; and significantly less effective. Someone truly choking, alone, cannot talk verbally to 911 when dialed.

Additionally, there is a right and wrong way to perform the Heimlich, and even courses and learning dont guarantee that a person in a high stress level situation can properly control their emotions and adrenalin.

I think these serve their purpose in the right situation. I would take tongue damage over death any day.
