Airway foreign body removal device, anti-choking suction device
The airway foreign body removal device (commonly called an anti-choking device) is a supplementary rescue device for airway obstruction caused by choking. It uses negative pressure (suction) to help remove food or an object blocking the airway when the casualty cannot cough effectively, cannot breathe and standard first aid measures have not been successful.
Parts: handle, plunger, one-way valve and face mask. The valve releases air when the plunger is pressed down, so suction is created in a closed system when it is pulled up.
Key features:
- Suction helps remove a foreign body blocking the airway
- One-way valve for effective vacuum
- Well-sealing face mask covering nose and mouth
- Simple manual operation, no power or batteries needed
- Compact and easy to store
Areas of application:
- Homes, families with small children or elderly members
- Kindergartens, schools, care homes
- Restaurants, catering, workplaces
- Supplementing first aid kits, training
Technical specifications:
- Manufacturer: Winterthur Medical Zrt.
- Parts: handle, plunger, one-way valve, face mask

Important: the device does not replace the measures recommended by first aid guidelines. For adults and children, first give 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts; for infants, 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts. In severe choking call 112 immediately and start CPR if the casualty becomes unconscious.
