There’s no complicated setup. Much like a fire extinguisher, it’s ready to use right away. All it takes is a simple place, push, and pull to save a life in a choking emergency.
Just remember these three simple steps:
- Place the mask over the victim’s nose and mouth.
- Push down on the plunger.
- Pull the plunger back; it creates a powerful suction that dislodges the object from the victim’s airway.
The AirRelief has a one-way valve. This clever feature ensures that the air doesn’t push the airway obstruction further down the victim’s airway.
When you press down on the mask, the air does not go through the mask. Instead, the air exits through the side of the one-way valve. When you pull it up again, the suction effect necessary to safely remove a blockage in an emergency is created.
AirRelief says that most obstructions are often cleared with just one push and pull, but it’s reassuring to know that you can repeat the steps if necessary until the blockage is removed.
