October 12, 2008-El Dorado Hills, CA- ActFast Medical Corporation announced today that the release of their highly anticipated Choking Rescue Trainer will take place at the EMS EXPO in Las Vegas, Nevada this week, beginning October 15.
Originally developed by Dr Timothy Adams to help train Boy Scouts in the rescue of choking victims, the trainer has quickly become a hit in CPR classes during testing in California. For the first time it will be made available to instructors everywhere.
The Act+Fast Choking Rescue Trainer is a lightweight neoprene vest worn by students that allows teaching of the Abdominal Thrust Maneuver in a variety of realistic scenarios.
When correct hand placement and technique are used, a soft foam plug shoots dramatically from the trainer, instantly providing a strong visual feedback that students will never forget.
And the vest not only makes teaching easy, it makes CPR class fun for the first time. The Trainer is also very durable and machine washable. It comes complete with a removable instruction card that can be placed in a clear plastic pocket on the back of the vest to aid in teaching the Abdominal Thrust Maneuver. The instruction card will be available in several languages in addition to the standard English, and allows for replacement with different protocols and updates as they are made available.
