en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 7, Fly Flyte, Inc. ("Flyte"), a regional air mobility subsidiary of Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK), announced a strategic partnership with LifeVac to equip its Cirrus Vision Jet fleet with LifeVac airway clearance devices for responding to choking emergencies.
LifeVac is the first and only suction anti-choking device to receive De Novo authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), approved as a second-line treatment after standard choking rescue protocols. The device is non-electric, non-invasive, and single-use, with over 6,200 choking rescue cases attributed to it globally. By equipping each aircraft with this device, Flyte crew members will have an additional specialized tool when passengers experience choking during flight and cannot seek external help.
This initiative is an extension of Flyte's safety philosophy. The company intentionally built its entire fleet around a single aircraft model, the Cirrus Vision Jet, ensuring complete consistency across every aircraft, maintenance procedure, and pilot training program. By standardizing to reduce variables, it minimizes failure points in aviation.
This deployment integrates what Flyte considers one of the most comprehensive safety ecosystems in regional private aviation, including: the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), which can safely lower the entire aircraft and everyone on board to the ground; the Safe Return emergency autoland technology, which autonomously navigates, communicates with air traffic control, lands, and stops with the push of a button when the pilot becomes incapacitated; an advanced Garmin cockpit safety system with synthetic vision and real-time terrain, traffic, and weather awareness, plus electronic stability protection, envelope protection, and emergency descent mode; a lightweight carbon fiber airframe and FADEC digital engine management system; and the newly added LifeVac airway clearance device.
Flyte founder Marc Sellouk stated that safety is not a feature but a system, and it is the company's foundation. Choosing the Vision Jet and standardizing the fleet, training, maintenance, and procedures around it has one purpose: to protect those on board. LifeVac founder and CEO Arthur Lih noted that choking emergencies happen quickly, and when people are in the air, they cannot call for help. Combining LifeVac's life-saving airway clearance technology with the Vision Jet's safety systems helps create one of the most comprehensive safety platforms in the sky.
