Introduction
The LifeVac Rescue Trio is an innovative, non-invasive airway clearance device designed to provide immediate assistance in cases of choking emergencies.

The Rescue Trio kit includes devices suitable for adults, children, and infants, making it an essential addition to homes, schools, and public places.

- Applying Suction: Push the plunger down to compress the air out of the device.
