The Act+Fast Trainer is a wearable vest designed to simulate a real choking emergency. It lets students physically perform the abdominal thrust maneuver and experience what it feels like to clear an airway obstruction — turning a concept they've read about into a skill they actually have.
The vest contains a foam plug that ejects when abdominal thrusts are applied correctly. That visual, physical feedback confirms the technique worked — so students know right away whether they got it right, rather than guessing.
The trainer is built to replicate the resistance and physical response of a real choking emergency as closely as possible. The goal is muscle memory — so when the moment comes, the technique is already instinctive.
Absolutely. The trainer is designed for all experience levels, from first-time learners to professional certification programs. The immediate feedback it provides makes it especially effective for beginners learning the technique from scratch.

Adult Trainers
Both trainers simulate the abdominal thrust maneuver for choking rescue practice. The difference comes down to back slap training.
Red Trainer Includes an integrated back slap pad, so students can also practice back blows per ARC guidelines.
Blue Trainer No built-in pad, but attachable pads are available separately for programs that want to add back blow training.
Very durable. The vest is made from high-quality neoprene, the same material used in wetsuits, so it's built to handle heavy and repeated use. With basic care, it should last for years of regular training sessions.
Remove the PVC bladder and airway assembly, then hand-wash the neoprene vest with a mild detergent. Hang to air dry completely before storing.
Yes, they're reusable. If they get lost or worn out over time, replacement plugs can be ordered separately.
Children's Trainer
Absolutely. It's designed for children ages 5 to 11, and there are documented cases of kids as young as five successfully using the technique in real emergencies. Adults can also use it to teach and demonstrate the maneuver on a smaller form factor.
Just as rugged as the adult trainers. It's built from the same durable neoprene material to withstand years of repeated classroom use.
Same process as the adult version: remove the PVC bladder and airway assembly, hand-wash the neoprene vest with mild detergent, and hang to air dry.
Yes, and replacements are available to order separately whenever you need them.
