Place
Select the correct mask for the person choking — toddler, child, or adult. Position it over the nose and mouth, covering both completely.
Push
Press the mask firmly against the face to create a closed seal. Full contact around the edges is what makes the suction work — don't rush this step.
Press
A single button press activates the suction mechanism, drawing the obstruction out of the airway. No pulling, no pumping. Repeat if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
I already know the Heimlich. Why do I need this?
I already know the Heimlich. Why do I need this?
The Heimlich is a great first response — use it. But it doesn't always work, it requires another person to perform it correctly, and it's nearly impossible to execute on yourself. This device is your backup for the moment standard methods aren't enough. Think of it the way you'd think of a fire extinguisher: knowing to stop, drop, and roll doesn't mean you wouldn't want one.
Do I need to be trained to use it?
Do I need to be trained to use it?
No. The device is designed to be operable under panic, without prior training. Simply place the correct mask over the nose and mouth, press to seal, and push the button. Most users practice once after receiving it, so the motion is familiar.
Can I use it on myself if I'm choking alone?
Can I use it on myself if I'm choking alone?
Yes. Dulce can be self-administered. If you are alone and choking, place the mask over your own nose and mouth, form a seal, and press the button. This is one of the primary reasons single-person households and people who spend time alone purchase this device.
Does it expire?
Does it expire?
No. Dulce does not expire and can be stored indefinitely. Make sure to clean after any use. Keep it in an accessible location — kitchen drawer, cabinet, car — and it will be ready whenever you need it.
