Maureen, a 69-year-old senior, was sitting alone in her kitchen enjoying a small piece of pound cake when she suddenly began to choke. Her husband tried the Heimlich maneuver, but it failed. With no one else around, he used the ArixMed Choking Rescue Device — two presses later, she was breathing again.

This marks our 1088th documented life saved.

If you have elderly loved ones living alone, consider keeping a choking rescue device within easy reach. Being prepared can save a life when every second counts.
