ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask, 5-Pack Review (2026)

Is the ASA Techmed CPR mask 5-pack the right buy for multi-station coverage?

Short answer: Yes, if you need to put a pocket resuscitator at several stations at once — the ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask, 5-Pack delivers five one-way-valve masks in hard cases at a per-mask price the single-mask route cannot match. Its head-to-head rival is the MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack, the training-class standard at a slightly higher price; if you only need one mask for one kit, the WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask is the single-unit pick.

A CPR mask is the piece of rescue equipment most workplaces are required to think about and fewest actually distribute properly: one mask in one kit at one end of the building is not coverage. The barrier device only matters if it is within reach of the trained responder when it counts — which is why serious programs buy masks the way they buy extinguishers: by station, not by building. This review looks at ASA Techmed's value 5-pack through that stocking lens and against the rest of our CPR & Rescue Supplies collection. One boundary up front: nothing here teaches CPR. Technique belongs to certified training through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross; this review covers the equipment decision only.

ASA Techmed lists the 5-pack under model ASA00081 at $31.88 — pocket resuscitators with one-way valves in hard cases, positioned by the listing for training and station stocking. We evaluate it as a curation-and-spec analysis, not a medical recommendation.

Editorial verdict: 4.4/5. The value route to putting a hard-cased, one-way-valve rescue mask at every station that needs one. Five masks for under thirty-two dollars undercuts the per-unit cost of singles and the class-standard MCR Medical pack alike, making it the budget-smart choice for AED stations, floor kits, and training inventories. It gives up a little brand pedigree to the MCR pack, and a mask in a case is bigger than a keychain shield — but per station covered, this is the efficient buy.

Who the ASA Techmed 5-pack is for

• Facilities with multiple AED or first aid stations — one pack puts a mask at five points alongside the first aid cabinets collection stations.
• CPR training coordinators issuing masks to newly certified employees after AHA or Red Cross courses.
• Safety managers upgrading workplace first aid kits that shipped without any barrier device.
• Fleet and multi-vehicle operators standardizing one mask per vehicle kit across the first aid kits program.

What the ASA Techmed CPR mask 5-pack does well

Station math that actually works

The core argument is arithmetic. Coverage means a mask wherever a trained responder might need one — beside each AED, in each floor kit, in each vehicle. At $31.88 for five, the ASA Techmed pack prices each covered station at under seven dollars, cheaper than buying five singles of the WNL Products CPR rescue mask and below the MCR Medical 5-pack at $39.95. For the program buyer, that difference compounds across every floor and vehicle.

The one-way valve barrier, standard

Each mask carries a one-way valve, per the listing — the feature that makes a pocket resuscitator a barrier device rather than a piece of plastic. That barrier function is the entire reason rescue masks exist as workplace equipment, and it is what responders are trained to use in AHA and Red Cross courses. What the valve means in practice is a topic for those courses, not this page; what matters for procurement is that every unit in the pack has one.

Hard cases built for the shelf, not the pocket

Masks live most of their lives in storage, and a crushed or dusty mask is a failed one. The clamshell hard case keeps each unit clean, intact, and visible in a cabinet or kit for years — the same storage logic that makes the WNL format the single-kit default in our WNL CPR rescue mask hard case review.

A natural fit for certification pipelines

Programs that put employees through AHA or Red Cross certification often issue a personal mask on course completion — it reinforces the training and distributes coverage beyond fixed stations. A value 5-pack matches that issue-and-replace workflow far better than one-off purchases, which is exactly the training-and-stocking positioning the listing claims.

Where the ASA Techmed CPR mask 5-pack falls short

The instructor's default is the other pack

MCR Medical is the name CPR instructors know, and its 5-pack is the training-class standard. If your program buys on instructor familiarity or you want the widely recognized classroom brand, the MCR Medical CPR rescue mask 5-pack justifies its premium — our MCR Medical CPR rescue mask 5-pack review makes that case.

Five is the wrong number for one kit

A household or single-vehicle buyer needs one mask, not five. The single-unit WNL CPR mask with hard case at $8.79 covers that case without stranding four spares, and the Ever Ready adult and infant CPR mask combo adds infant coverage for family settings — see our Ever Ready adult and infant CPR mask combo review.

Equipment without training is half a program

No mask makes an untrained bystander a responder. The honest program order is: certify people through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, then equip them. Budget the training line before the equipment line, and treat the mask purchase as the cheap second step it is.

How it compares across the CPR and rescue collection

Here is the ASA Techmed pack against the competitive set in the CPR and rescue supplies collection:

Five-pack head-to-head: ASA Techmed vs MCR Medical vs WNL singles

The multi-mask decision comes down to brand, budget, and count:

• Buy the ASA Techmed 5-pack when the goal is maximum stations covered per dollar.
• Buy the MCR Medical 5-pack when instructor familiarity and the classroom-standard brand matter — details in our MCR Medical CPR mask 5-pack review.
• Buy the WNL single when one kit needs one mask, full stop.

Stations and kits the 5-pack should land in

Distribute, do not warehouse: one mask beside each AED, one in each floor cabinet from the first aid cabinets lineup, one in the site vehicle kit. Masks slot naturally into compliance-focused containers like the First Aid Only SmartCompliance 50-person kit and the First Aid Only 746000 SmartCompliance cabinet. Sites building a broader emergency-response tier should pair rescue masks with bleeding-control equipment such as the North American Rescue Public Access Bleeding Control Kit from the trauma kits collection — reviewed in our NAR Public Access Bleeding Control Kit review.

Category context: masks, shields, and the certification layer

The CPR equipment tier splits into pocket masks — hard-cased, valved, station-grade — and keychain face shields like the LSIKA-Z CPR face shield keychain 100-pack, the always-carried backup we cover in our LSIKA-Z CPR face shield keychain review. Both exist to support responders trained through AHA or Red Cross programs; neither replaces that training. On the compliance side, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151 requires adequate first aid supplies matched to workplace hazards, and many employers fold CPR readiness into that program — the regulatory decode lives in our OSHA first aid kit requirements explained reference, with kit-level planning in the which first aid kit do you need pillar guide and the best workplace first aid kits guide.

Total cost of ownership

Masks are near-zero-maintenance equipment: buy, place, inspect on the same audit cycle as the kit they live in, and replace any unit that has been opened or used. At under seven dollars per station, the ASA Techmed pack makes replacement a non-decision — used masks get swapped, not cleaned and second-guessed. The real recurring cost in a CPR program is certification renewal through the AHA or Red Cross; keep the equipment line small so the training line stays funded. Fold mask checks into the same audit as your first aid kits program.

Final verdict: coverage per dollar, solved

Rating: 4.4/5. The ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack product page is the efficient answer to multi-station CPR readiness: five valved, hard-cased masks at the lowest per-station cost in our lineup. Buy it to distribute; buy the MCR Medical 5-pack masks for the instructor-standard brand; buy the WNL single hard-case mask when one kit needs one mask.

ASA Techmed CPR mask 5-pack — frequently asked questions

What is a CPR rescue mask and why stock one?

A pocket resuscitator: a clear mask with a one-way valve that acts as a barrier between responder and patient during rescue breathing. Employers stock them so trained responders have the barrier device their AHA or Red Cross course taught them to use. The equipment tier lives in our CPR and rescue supplies collection.

How many CPR masks should a workplace have?

Think stations, not buildings: one mask beside each AED, one in each floor kit or cabinet, one per site vehicle. That is exactly the math a 5-pack serves — the ASA Techmed 5-pack covers five stations in one order.

Does the ASA Techmed mask have a one-way valve?

Yes — the listing specifies one-way valves on the pocket resuscitators in the pack. The valve is what makes the mask a barrier device; how it is used is covered in certified CPR training, not on this page.

ASA Techmed vs MCR Medical 5-pack — which should you buy?

Budget versus brand. The ASA Techmed pack costs less per mask; the MCR Medical 5-pack is the name CPR instructors default to for classes. Both are valved, hard-cased 5-packs — our MCR Medical CPR rescue mask review covers the premium side of the call.

ASA Techmed 5-pack vs WNL single mask — when does each win?

Count decides. One kit, one mask: the WNL CPR mask at $8.79. Three or more stations: the 5-pack's per-mask price wins and the spares cover replacement. The single-mask case is argued in our WNL CPR rescue mask review.

Do CPR masks work on children?

Mask sizing and pediatric use are covered by the product label and by certified training — many pocket masks address adult and child use per their labeling, and infant coverage is a separate format like the Ever Ready adult and infant combo. Follow the label and your AHA or Red Cross course guidance; see our Ever Ready CPR mask combo review for the family-format option.

Do you need CPR certification to buy or stock rescue masks?

No certification is required to purchase or stock them — they are standard first aid equipment. But the equipment only pays off in trained hands, so pair any mask purchase with AHA or Red Cross certification for the people expected to respond.

Are CPR masks required by OSHA?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151 requires adequate first aid supplies appropriate to workplace hazards rather than naming specific devices; many employers include barrier devices as part of that program, especially where AEDs are deployed. The standard's decode is in our OSHA first aid kit requirements reference.

CPR mask vs keychain face shield — what is the difference?

A pocket mask is a rigid, valved, hard-cased device for station and kit stocking; a keychain shield is a flat film barrier carried everywhere as a backup. Stations get masks, keyrings get shields like the LSIKA-Z keychain shields — the split is detailed in our LSIKA-Z CPR face shield review.

Should a CPR mask be replaced after use?

Treat used masks as single-use equipment at the program level: swap the unit and restock rather than attempting to sanitize a barrier device in the field. At the 5-pack's per-mask price, replacement is cheaper than doubt.

Where should CPR masks be stored?

In their hard cases, at fixed and labeled points: AED stations, wall cabinets, kit lids. Visibility matters — a mask nobody can find fails exactly like a mask nobody bought. Fold placement into the kit map you build with the which first aid kit do you need guide.

Do CPR masks expire?

Check the packaging for any manufacturer date guidance and inspect on your regular kit audit: case intact, mask clean and supple, valve present. Replace any unit that fails inspection or has been opened — inspection cadence, not calendar age, is the practical control.

What should sit next to the CPR mask at a response station?

The rest of the emergency tier: the AED itself, gloves, and bleeding-control equipment like the NAR public access bleeding control kit — the ranked field is in our best trauma kits and IFAKs guide.

Are 5-packs worth it for training programs?

Yes — programs that certify employees through AHA or Red Cross courses and issue a mask on completion burn through inventory predictably, and value packs match that cadence. Keep the issue stock separate from the fixed-station stock so coverage never gets cannibalized.

Where does the ASA Techmed 5-pack fall short?

Three places: less instructor-brand recognition than MCR Medical, the wrong count for single-kit buyers, and bulkier carry than a keychain shield. The MCR Medical pack, the WNL single, and the LSIKA-Z shields respectively cover those cases within the workplace first aid kits collection ecosystem.
