Marco Police Department Receives LifeVac Devices

Raymond Priebe and his wife, who live in Cape Coral, have their sister-in-law, a firefighter in Bonita Springs, to thank for the information regarding the LifeVacanti-choking device. After the purchase of the device, the family was driving when their three-year-old daughter Maya experienced just such an emergency due to choking on some hard candy. Priebe’s swift actions and the LifeVac device saved their now four-year-old daughter.  

Priebe swears by the device and visited the Marco Island Police Department as they took possession of 50 LifeVacunits due to the generosity of the Cassata Foundation and its founder, Rosario Cassata, in conjunction with Arthur Lih, the founder and president of the LifeVacCorporation. Lih’s wife Jennifer had experienced a similar medical emergency, and the incident was captured on security footage at their home on Long Island. 

They would all be in attendance last Friday for the official presentation of the devices, which were personally delivered to the Marco Island Police Department. As part of that presentation, the device was demonstrated by Heidi Beth Felix, who serves as LifeVac’s Vice President of Sales, to show how user-friendly the device is. Should the device be deployed in a lifesaving event, the company will, at no charge, replace the device used. 

To date, well over 4,300 saves can be attributed to using the LifeVac in emergency situations. You can visit their website for more information at www.lifevac.net.
