The two main brands of device, LifeVac and Dechoker, are registered in the UK as medical devices. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has advised the companies that the devices should only be used by healthcare professionals or people with advanced life support training. It also says the devices should not be marketed for use on children [see footnote].

A Dechoker is used around once a week in a life threatening choking incident across the adult care sector and so it’s not unusual to receive a request for replacement device to be sent to a provider. The company is on a drive to convince regulators to relax the current restrictions in the UK, which it says do not apply in other countries. It denies the devices would delay other treatments because it says they are only intended to be used when all other efforts have failed and death is imminent.
