The Sonmol ACD Anti-Choking Device is a modern Heimlich device alternative, designed to quickly and effectively remove airway obstructions with ease of use for both children and adults.

โ About the Sonmol ACD
The Sonmol Anti-Choking Device (ACD), also known as the Sonmol Negative Pressure Throat Suction Device, is a specialized rescue tool made to clear upper airway obstructions.
Its core technology includes:
- 33KPa Negative Pressure Suction
Creates a reverse airflow in the throat, rapidly removing obstructions while avoiding damage to airway mucosa. - One-Button Activation
No need for complex rescue skills โ simple operation makes it suitable for the elderly, children, and non-professionals. - Multi-Scene Adaptability
Comes with 3 mask sizes to fit children over 2 years old, adults, pregnant women, and bedridden elderly patients.
๐ซ When Not to Use
Although the Sonmol ACD Anti-Choking Device is effective in many emergencies, there are certain situations where it should not be used:
- Choking on liquids
- Examples: water, milk, soup.
- Reason: Liquids cannot be suctioned effectively because the device requires an airtight seal, which is difficult to form when the airway is wet.
- Sharp objects stuck in the throat
- Examples: fish bones, chicken bones, toothpicks.
- Reason: Strong suction could force sharp objects deeper or cause injury to the throat lining.
- Thick phlegm or mucus sticking in the throat
- Reason: The device is designed for solid obstructions, not for clearing sticky secretions. Regular coughing or medical treatment is more appropriate in these cases.
๐ In short, the Sonmol ACD is best for solid food-related choking emergencies (like nuts, candy, meat, or small objects), but not for liquids, sharp items, or mucus.hese cases, forming that seal is difficult, and attempting to suction sharp objects (like bones) could injure the airway mucosa.

โน๏ธ How to Use and Maintain

Yes โ the suction process should take no longer than 3 seconds, from pressing the trigger button until the suction cylinder fully rebounds. This helps confirm correct operation.

- Inspect the mask: Gently press the airbag mask. If it does not remain collapsed, itโs in good condition for use.
