Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Guardian Anti-Choking Device?

The Guardian is a portable suction device designed to help clear airway obstructions in a choking emergency when standard methods like back blows or abdominal thrusts haven’t worked.

Who can use the Guardian?

The device is designed for use by adults or older children able to follow simple instructions. We recommend reading the included instructions thoroughly and practicing on a mannequin or training device if possible.

Can I use it on myself?

Yes! The Guardian is designed so that a conscious choking person can place it over their own mouth and nose and create the suction themselves

Does it replace the Heimlich maneuver?

No. Always attempt traditional methods first. Use the Guardian only if back blows and abdominal thrusts fail, or if you cannot perform them.

How do I clean the device?

The Guardian comes with a replaceable one-way valve and mask. Single-use masks should be replaced after use. The main device can be wiped clean according to the instructions provided.

Do you ship internationally?

No. Currently, Weyln Medical LLC ships only to customers in the United States and Canada.
