Life Saved by ArixMed #175
On March 15th, five-year-old David from Westminster, MD, started choking on a bite of pizza during lunch. One moment he was laughing, and the next, he turned red and silent — his airway completely blocked by a chunk of crust.
His mom, Joyce, didn't panic. Despite her CPR training, she realized it wasn't going to be enough. She grabbed the ArixMed Choking Rescue Device from the kitchen drawer. With shaking hands, she followed the steps she'd seen in the demo video. One pull… then two — POP! The pizza flew out. David could breathe again.
Joyce shared: “I'm still shaking, but holy crap, ArixMed worked when my CPR training just wasn't enough!”
We’re so relieved David is okay — and proud that ArixMed was there when it mattered most.
Got a story to share? We'd love to hear it. Heroes receive a free replacement device — because being prepared saves lives.
