MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask, 5-Pack Review (2026)

Is the MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack the right buy for CPR classes and multi-station facilities?

Short answer: Yes — if you need to put a hard-case pocket resuscitator at three or more response points, or outfit a CPR training program, the MCR Medical RM-2033-005 5-pack is the class-standard choice in our CPR & Rescue Supplies collection. Buyers who need only one mask save money with the WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask with Hard Case, and pure budget stockers should compare the ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack.

MCR Medical is a training-supply name, and this 5-pack is pitched exactly at that market: five adult/child pocket resuscitators, each in its own hard case, described by the manufacturer as the standard buy for CPR classes and multi-station facilities. In this review we weigh the 5-pack against the single-unit and budget-pack alternatives on the site, show where five masks actually belong in a facility, and put per-mask numbers on the decision. We link products and collections throughout so you can check the whole First Aid Kits parent collection context as you go.

The standing caveat for every CPR product we stock: none of this is technique. Rescue breathing and compressions are taught by the American Heart Association and American Red Cross, and a mask in a case does not substitute for a card in a wallet.

Editorial verdict: 4.4/5. The MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack is the multi-station default: five one-way-valve pocket resuscitators in individual hard cases at $39.95 — $7.99 per mask, under the single-unit market rate, from a vendor whose catalog is built around CPR training programs. It gives up points only on price against the cheaper ASA Techmed 5-pack and on the absence of an infant-mask option in the pack.

Who the MCR Medical 5-Pack is for

• CPR and first aid instructors equipping a class where each student or station needs a mask
• Safety managers rolling barrier devices out across every cabinet in the First Aid Cabinets & Stations collection
• Multi-floor offices and plants pairing a mask with each kit from the Workplace First Aid Kits collection
• AED program owners who want a pocket mask co-staged at every defibrillator bracket
• Procurement teams that prefer one SKU and one PO line for five stations

What the MCR Medical 5-Pack does well

Pack quantity matches how facilities actually deploy masks

Barrier masks are a per-station item, not a per-facility item. Five individually cased units let you cover the lobby cabinet, the shop-floor kit, the breakroom AED, the security desk, and a supervisor vehicle in one order. That is the entire logic of the pack — and it is why our best workplace first aid kits guide lists multi-packs, not singles, for facility rollouts.

Individual hard cases make the pack splittable

Because each mask has its own clamshell case, the 5-pack is really five deployable stations, not one training bag. Cases protect the cup and valve from crushing inside crowded kits like the RHINO RESCUE 371-Piece OSHA 100-Person Kit, and they keep grime off units staged in shop environments.

One-way valve barrier on every unit

Each mask carries the category's defining feature: a one-way valve designed to pass rescue breaths toward the patient while physically separating the responder from the patient's mouth and exhaled air. That barrier is what workplace response programs are staging when they add masks to kits — the how-to of rescue breathing belongs to AHA and Red Cross coursework, and we defer to it entirely.

The training-market pedigree is genuinely useful

The manufacturer describes this pack as the standard buy for CPR classes, and that positioning has a practical upside: instructors who standardize on one hard-case mask format find storage, inspection, and replacement simpler. If your facility runs internal refreshers with an outside instructor, matching the class hardware to the staged hardware keeps everyone practiced on the same form factor.

Per-mask price undercuts singles

At $39.95 the pack lands at $7.99 per mask against $8.79 for the single WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask. Quantity plus a lower unit rate is the right shape for any buyer past two stations — the full lineup math is in the comparison tables below.

Where the MCR Medical 5-Pack falls short

The budget 5-pack is meaningfully cheaper

The ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack delivers the same count and the same hard-case format for $8.07 less. If vendor pedigree does not matter to your program, the ASA pack wins on price alone — our ASA Techmed CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack review makes that case.

No infant coverage in the pack

All five masks are adult/child units. Facilities with infant exposure — daycares, church nurseries, family-facing venues — should add the Ever Ready First Aid Adult and Infant CPR Mask Combo Kit, reviewed separately in our Ever Ready Adult and Infant CPR Mask Combo review.

Wrong size purchase for single-point buyers

A home kit or one-room office needs one mask, not five. The single WNL Products hard-case mask covers that buyer for under $10 — see our WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask review.

How the MCR Medical 5-Pack compares across our CPR lineup

MCR Medical vs the other pack formats — decision rules

• Buy the MCR Medical 5-Pack if you want the training-market standard hard-case mask across three to five stations, or you are equipping a class and want the format students expect.
• Buy the ASA Techmed 5-Pack if the deciding factor is per-mask cost and vendor name is irrelevant.
• Buy the single WNL Products mask if you have one or two staging points — full analysis in the WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask review.
• Add the Ever Ready combo kit if infants are in your response population.
• Add the LSIKA-Z 100-pack if you also want a barrier on every employee keyring — see the LSIKA-Z CPR Face Shield Keychain review.

Deploying five masks: kits, cabinets, and AED points

A sensible five-station split for a mid-size facility using products from our catalog:

• Main wall cabinet — one mask in a cabinet from the first aid cabinets collection, such as the UniShield 4-Shelf Metal First Aid Cabinet
• Compliance kit — one with the First Aid Only SmartCompliance 50-Person Kit or the First Aid Only 746000 SmartCompliance ANSI A+ Cabinet
• AED bracket — one co-staged with the defibrillator
• Second floor / annex kit — one with any kit in the workplace first aid kits range
• Response vehicle or security desk — the fifth unit

How many stations your site actually needs flows from your first aid program assessment — our OSHA first aid kit requirements explained reference covers the 29 CFR 1910.151 and ANSI Z308.1 groundwork that drives those counts.

Pocket masks vs face shields — where a 5-pack sits in the category

Within CPR barrier devices, the pocket mask is the staged-response format: a molded cup with a one-way valve, stored at a fixed point, sized for adult/child patients. The keychain face shield is the distributed format: flat, valve-equipped film that lives on keyrings by the dozen or hundred. A 5-pack of pocket masks is squarely a station product — it hardens five fixed points rather than spreading thin coverage widely. Most mature programs buy both layers, and the which first aid kit do you need pillar guide shows how CPR supplies slot into the wider first aid stack, with the best first aid cabinets guide covering the fixed-station hardware.

Total cost of ownership

The pack is the cost — there are no consumable refills for cased pocket masks. Budget $39.95 up front, then replacement of any unit that is used (single-patient device) or that fails inspection: cracked case, dislodged valve, deformed cup. On a quarterly kit-audit cycle, most facilities will replace at most a mask or two per year across five stations, which keeps the annualized cost of the CPR barrier layer under $16 even with churn. Fold mask checks into the same audit you run against ANSI Z308.1 fill lists — the OSHA and ANSI kit requirements post explains that cadence.

Final verdict: 4.4/5

The MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack is the cleanest way to put a proper barrier device at every response point in a small-to-mid facility, and the training-market standard format is a real asset for programs that run classes. Buy this for multi-station rollouts and training cohorts; buy the ASA Techmed 5-Pack to save $8 when pedigree does not matter; buy the single WNL Products mask when one station is all you have.

MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack FAQ

How many CPR masks does a workplace actually need?

One per response point: each wall cabinet, each stocked kit, each AED bracket, plus vehicles and desks where a responder would start. A five-count pack maps neatly onto a small facility; larger sites simply buy multiple packs. Station counts flow from the program assessment described in our OSHA first aid kit requirements reference.

Is the MCR Medical 5-Pack good for CPR training classes?

That is its home market — the manufacturer positions it as the standard buy for CPR classes, and the individual hard cases make it easy to issue one mask per student or station. Note that classroom manikin practice and real staging are different uses; masks used heavily in training should be treated as training stock, not response stock.

MCR Medical vs ASA Techmed 5-pack — which is the better value?

The ASA Techmed 5-Pack is cheaper ($31.88 vs $39.95) for the same count and case format, so it wins on raw value. MCR Medical earns its premium with its training-supply reputation and format standardization. Both are legitimate multi-station picks; our ASA Techmed 5-Pack review argues the budget side.

Do the MCR Medical masks include one-way valves?

Yes — each of the five pocket resuscitators has a one-way valve, the feature that creates a physical barrier between the responder and the patient's mouth and exhaled air during rescue breaths. What the valve does not do is teach you when or how to ventilate a patient; that is AHA/Red Cross course material.

Can I split the 5-pack across different buildings?

Yes — each mask ships in its own hard case, so the pack is effectively five independent station units. Splitting across buildings, floors, or vehicles is the intended deployment, unlike bulk-bagged products that assume one storage point.

Does the MCR Medical pack include infant masks?

No — all five units are adult/child masks. If infants are part of your response population, add the Ever Ready Adult and Infant CPR Mask Combo Kit, which pairs an adult mask with a dedicated infant unit for under $10.

Should every AED station have a pocket mask?

It is a widely followed practice: trained-responder protocols pair defibrillation with rescue breathing, so co-staging a mask at the AED bracket means the responder is not sprinting to a cabinet mid-response. One 5-pack covers five AED points in a single order — the station checklist in our best workplace first aid kits guide covers the rest.

What is the per-mask price of the MCR Medical 5-Pack?

$7.99 per mask at the $39.95 pack price — below the $8.79 single-unit rate of the WNL Products CPR Rescue Mask, though above the ASA Techmed pack's $6.38. The crossover point versus singles is three masks.

Are these masks reusable after a rescue?

Treat pocket masks in this class as single-patient devices: replace any unit that has been used on a person. Reuse questions beyond that — cleaning protocols, valve replacement — depend on manufacturer documentation we do not restate; when the listing is silent, we assume replace-after-use.

MCR Medical 5-Pack vs LSIKA-Z keychain 100-pack — which spends the budget better?

Different layers. Five hard-case pocket masks harden five fixed stations; one hundred LSIKA-Z keychain face shields put a thin barrier on every keyring for about $0.52 each. Stations first, distribution second — the LSIKA-Z 100-pack review covers the giveaway model.

Where should the fifth mask go if I only have four stations?

Hold it as inspection spare stock. Having one sealed replacement on the shelf means a failed or used unit is swapped the same day rather than after a purchasing cycle — the same logic kit programs apply to bandage refills.

Do pocket masks expire?

The listing does not state a shelf life, so we do not invent one. Practically, a cased mask's service limit is condition: inspect at every kit audit and replace units with deformed cups, brittle plastic, or loose valves. Any dated guidance printed by MCR Medical on the packaging supersedes rules of thumb.

Is a hard-case mask required by OSHA or ANSI Z308.1?

Neither standard names a CPR mask line-item requirement for basic kits; ANSI Z308.1 defines fill classes and OSHA 1910.151 requires adequate supplies for the workplace. Barrier devices are a common program addition where responders are trained. The distinction between required fill and recommended supplements is exactly what our OSHA kit requirements explainer unpacks.

Can the MCR Medical masks live in vehicle kits?

Yes — the hard case is what makes vehicle staging viable, protecting the cup from crush and dust in a glove box or door pocket. Inspect on the same cycle as the rest of the vehicle kit and swap heat-stressed units.

What should I stage alongside a CPR mask at each station?

A stocked kit appropriate to the area (see the workplace first aid kits collection), exam gloves, and — where your program includes one — the AED itself. The which first aid kit do you need guide maps station composition by facility type.

Is the MCR Medical CPR Rescue Mask 5-Pack worth $39.95?

If you are covering three or more stations or standardizing a training program, yes — per-mask cost beats singles and the format is the market's default. If price is the only criterion, the ASA Techmed pack saves $8; if you need one mask, buy one WNL Products single mask from the CPR rescue supplies collection instead.
