My 78-Year-Old Father Was Choking To Death While I Watched On Video Call. This Device Saved His Life In 3 Pumps...
Claire Augustine -
It's the most helpless feeling in the world, watching someone you love dying right in front of you, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
4 months ago, I had a front-row seat to what could have been my father's final moments. He was choking to death during our weekly video dinner call. I was 40 minutes away. His nearest neighbor was a quarter mile down the road. And the ambulance would take at least 15 minutes to reach his rural home.
But here's what makes choking truly terrifying...
The Heimlich maneuver fails 40% of the time when you try it on yourself. Using a chair to do the Heimlich maneuver rarely works for seniors. And by the time paramedics arrive, the average response time is 7-15 minutes, it's already too late.
Your brain starts dying after just 4 minutes without oxygen. Permanent damage begins at 6 minutes. Complete brain death occurs at 10 minutes.
Which means if you're choking alone, you have less time to save your life than it takes to microwave a frozen dinner.
But there's a device that cleared my father's blocked airway in under 30 seconds, even though he's 78, was panicking, and had no one there to help him. It worked when the self-Heimlich failed. And it's so simple, he managed to use it while his face was turning purple...
THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Dad has been living alone since Mom passed last year. At 78, he's fiercely independent and refuses to move in with any of us kids. So we compromised, video dinner calls twice a week.
That Tuesday evening started normally. Dad showed off his pork chops (he's been learning to cook), and we talked about his upcoming doctor's appointment.
Then suddenly, his expression changed. Eyes wide with panic. He stood up, knocking over his beer, clutching his throat.
I screamed for him to try the Heimlich on himself using a chair. He tried, but it wasn't working. His face went from red to purple.
I'd already called 911 on another phone, but we both knew they'd never make it in time.
Then I remembered, 3 months earlier, I'd bought him a Choking Rescue Device after reading how dangerous it is for seniors living alone.
"DAD! THE CHOKING THING I GOT YOU! KITCHEN DRAWER!"
He staggered to the kitchen. I couldn't see him, but I heard desperate fumbling. He returned with the device in his shaking hands.
He placed the mask over his face and pumped the handle. On the second pump, his whole body jerked. On the third pump, the piece of pork shot out into the device's clear chamber.
The color rushed back to his face as he gasped for air. He sank into his chair and actually chuckled, "Thought I was going to see your mom there for a minute."
When paramedics arrived 12 minutes later, Dad was calmly sipping water. One EMT said, "You're lucky you had that. Most people who choke alone don't make it."
WHAT IS THE CHOKING RESCUE DEVICE?
The Choking Rescue Device by Prepared Hero is the exact medical-grade suction device that saved my father's life. It removes airway obstructions in seconds, without requiring another person, physical strength, or complex maneuvers.
This FDA-registered device uses the same powerful suction technology found in hospital emergency rooms, but simplified for home use.
Unlike the Heimlich maneuver (which failed my father) or expensive devices that cost $200+, the Choking Rescue Device works with a simple pump action that even my 78-year-old dad could operate while panicking.
This solution is designed specifically for solo use, because 73% of choking deaths happen when victims are alone.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using the Choking Rescue Device takes just 3 simple steps:
Step 1:
Place the mask over your mouth and nose (my dad did this while purple-faced)
Step 2:
Pump the handle to create suction (no strength required — just pump like a plunger)
Step 3:
Continue pumping until the obstruction pops out (took my dad just 3 pumps)
The "bulky" handle that some might see as too large? That's intentional. It’s specifically designed for panicked, trembling hands to grip easily, exactly like my father's were that night.
The transparent collection chamber isn't just clever engineering; it provided instant proof that the pork was out of Dad's throat, eliminating any guesswork in those critical seconds.
And if you're worried it might be "too powerful" for children? The two mask sizes (toddler, child, adult) ensure safe, effective use for anyone over 22 pounds.
WHAT DOES THE CHOKING RESCUE DEVICE DO?
The Choking Rescue Device solves the #1 cause of preventable death in homes:
- Removes Food Obstructions: Cleared my dad's pork chop in 3 pumps
- Works Solo: No need for another person (saved my dad 40 minutes away from help)
- Instant Results: 30 seconds vs. the 15 minutes the ambulance took
- Universal Fit: 2 mask sizes work for children and adults
- No Training Required: My panicked father figured it out in seconds
- Lifetime Durability: Medical-grade materials, no batteries or parts to replace
This device turned my father's 12-minute death sentence into a 30-second scare. Most importantly, it eliminates the two biggest problems with traditional choking responses:
- You don't need superhuman strength, my 78-year-old dad couldn't self-Heimlich, but easily used this
- You don't waste precious minutes; by the time EMTs arrived, Dad was fine
At $59.99, it costs less than a single restaurant meal, ironically, the very thing that nearly killed my father.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No, my father tried the self-Heimlich with a chair, and it failed. The Heimlich doesn’t always work. The Choking Rescue Device worked immediately when the Heimlich didn't.
No, the EMTs were surprised my dad had one. They said most ambulances only carry basic airway tools. By the time they arrived (12 minutes), my father would have been brain-dead without this device.
No, after Dad's incident, I bought them for my adult children and even my neighbor. Children choke on toys, and adults choke at dinner parties. One device protects everyone with its 2-mask system.
No, Dad's device sat in a drawer for 3 months and worked perfectly when needed. Unlike medications, this mechanical device has no expiration date. The medical-grade construction lasts for years.
HOW MUCH DOES THE CHOKING RESCUE DEVICE COST?
My father's ER visit would have cost $3,500… If he had survived to get there.
Competitor devices like LifeVac cost $189 for a basic kit. Professional-grade suction units run $800+.
The Choking Rescue Device is only $59.99, and it’s way less than any other alternatives.
But right now, Prepared Hero is offering an unprecedented sale:
This isn't random pricing. At $59.99, it's accessible to seniors on fixed incomes like my father, the very people who need it most.
Why so affordable when hospital-grade devices cost 10x more?
Because Prepared Hero sells directly to consumers, cutting out medical supply middlemen who mark up prices 300-500%. They believe life-saving devices shouldn't be luxury items. As someone whose father is alive because of this philosophy, I'm grateful.
IS THE CHOKING RESCUE DEVICE WORTH IT?
Absolutely! Ask my father who's alive today because I spent $59.99 three months before he needed it.
Right now is the perfect time to protect your family. Holiday meals mean more choking hazards. Elderly relatives visiting means a higher risk. And after what happened to my dad, I can tell you, you DO NOT want to watch someone you love choking while you're helpless to save them.
Over 50,000 families have already secured their devices. After a viral TikTok showed a toddler being saved, orders spiked 400% overnight. Current inventory won't last through December.
After Dad's incident, I immediately ordered 3 more, one for my son's family, one for my neighbor, and one for myself. The ordering process took 2 minutes, and they arrived in 3 days.
Compare this to the "alternative", watching someone you love turn purple over video call while screaming helplessly. Or becoming another preventable statistic.
For less than the cost of a tank of gas, you eliminate the #1 preventable cause of death in your home.
