-
UKCA-marked Class I medical device
-
Can be used on yourself
-
Adult and child masks included
-
No batteries, no charging, no power
- UKCA-marked Class I medical device from Rivona Corp Ltd, a UK-registered manufacturer (MHRA registration no. 0000038189).
- Place. Press. Pull. Place the mask over the nose and mouth, press and hold the red collar to seal, pull the handle. Keep pushing and pulling without lifting the mask: suction builds with every stroke.
- Made to pull, not push. A one-way valve means air is only ever drawn out of the airway. Nothing is forced towards the blockage.

Who needs Exhaly the most?
Choking can happen to anyone, but some people are at greater risk, and some cannot be given abdominal thrusts at all.
If someone you love is in one of these groups, they may be at greater risk in a choking emergency.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
The NHS target for the most urgent ambulance calls is 7 minutes on average, and 15 minutes for nine in ten calls. Brain damage can begin within 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen.

When back blows and abdominal thrusts aren't enough

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions people ask about the Exhaly Manual. More answers are on the FAQ page.
It is a hand-operated suction plunger. Place the mask over the nose and mouth, press and hold the red collar so the mask seals all the way round, then pull the handle back to create suction. If the object does not come out on the first pull, keep pushing and pulling the handle without lifting the mask. Suction builds with every stroke, so repeat it two or three times or more. A tight seal is essential: no seal, no suction.
No. On the downstroke the air inside the cylinder leaves through the exhaust valve to the outside, and the one-way valve stays shut, so nothing is pushed toward the person. On the upstroke the one-way valve opens and the pull is directed out of the airway only.
Two soft, air-cushioned masks: adult and child. Choose the one that seals around the nose and mouth without gaps. The device is for complete airway obstruction only, after back blows and abdominal thrusts have been tried without success, and it is not for anyone weighing less than 10 kg (22 lb). Keep each suction to three seconds or less.
Yes. Hold the device in both hands, seal the mask over your own nose and mouth, press the collar to hold the seal and pull the handle. Repeat the push-pull stroke until the object comes out. Practise the motion once with the mask against your palm so your hands know it before you ever need it.
Yes. It is a UKCA-marked Class I medical device, manufactured by Rivona Corp Ltd in the United Kingdom and registered with the MHRA under registration number 0000038189. The declaration of conformity is held in our own name, and the box carries the UKCA mark, the MD symbol and a GS1 UDI code you can check.
The device is reusable after practice. Inspect the mask and body for cracks, deformation or leaks before each use, and keep it out of reach of children. Masks are for personal use only and should be washed in warm soapy water and air-dried. If the object has not come out after three attempts, seek medical help immediately, and have the person examined afterwards even if it has.
