Respiratory Power Continuity

Medical UPS for Airvo™ & High Flow Therapy Australia

Portable backup power for Airvo 2, Airvo 3 and high-flow respiratory therapy workflows.

OHM Medical IT supplies Zopec portable medical UPS systems for Airvo, HFNC and respiratory humidification applications across hospitals, patient transport, aged care and home respiratory environments in Australia and New Zealand.

Our biomedical engineering team can help assess the device, operating settings, expected transport duration, trolley configuration and required backup time before recommending a medical UPS.

Compatibility and expected operating time depend on the Airvo model, flow, temperature, connected accessories, battery model and clinical configuration.

  • 500 W peak output
  • 296 Wh battery capacity
  • Pure sine wave output
  • 220–240 V Australian model
  • Line-interactive UPS operation
  • Integrated VESA-standard mounting
  • Three-stage low-battery warnings
  • Fanless silent cooling
  • Maintenance-free design

Designed for F&P respiratory mobility

Zopec identifies UPS 90 Pure for selected Airvo, high-flow and heated-humidifier applications. Its mounting adapter can fit the built-in bracket on suitable Airvo 2 carts, subject to confirmation of the trolley configuration.

Eligible Australian healthcare organisations can request a UPS 90 Pure demonstration unit for an initial two-week trial or a longer agreed evaluation period with their own equipment.
Compatibility and runtime depend on the exact device, settings, connected accessories, battery condition and operating environment.
Trolley Integration

Designed around practical Airvo mobility

A portable UPS must be integrated as part of the complete mobile system. Battery position, trolley stability, cable routing, outlet security and access to device controls should all be reviewed before implementation.

Integration considerations

  • Confirm the exact Airvo trolley model
  • Position the battery without obstructing device controls
  • Maintain safe trolley balance and manoeuvrability
  • Secure plugs against accidental disconnection
  • Route cables away from wheels and moving components
  • Keep alarms and battery display visible
  • Confirm cleaning access
  • Assess the complete mobile configuration before use
Zopec states that the UPS 90 Pure and UPS 270 Pure mounting adapters fit the built-in bracket on suitable Airvo 2 carts. The exact local trolley and bracket configuration must still be confirmed.
Power-Continuity Workflow

How the Zopec UPS supports normal power and battery backup

When correctly connected, a line-interactive UPS can remain between mains power and the Airvo device during normal operation, while keeping battery reserve available for a power interruption or approved movement.
1

Connect the approved configuration

Connect the correct Australian Zopec UPS, power cord and Airvo configuration according to the applicable product instructions.

2

Operate from mains power

During normal operation, incoming mains power supports the connected device while the UPS maintains its battery reserve.

3

Detect a power interruption

The UPS monitors incoming power and responds when the external supply is interrupted.

4

Transition to battery reserve

The UPS is designed to provide reserve power without requiring the device to be manually reconnected to a separate battery source.

When mains power returns, the system resumes the normal powered configuration and the UPS battery can recharge according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The complete device and UPS configuration should be tested before clinical implementation, including power interruption, alarm visibility, cable security and expected runtime.

Equipment-Specific Assessment

How OHM Medical IT assesses an Airvo UPS configuration

A reliable recommendation begins with the actual Airvo model, operating settings, trolley and intended workflow. OHM Medical IT can assist healthcare and biomedical teams through a structured compatibility and trial process.
01

Identify the Airvo system

Provide the Airvo model, trolley type, power rating and any connected accessories.

02

Define the clinical workflow

Explain whether the requirement is patient transport, ward mobility, generator maintenance, emergency backup or home high-flow therapy.

03

Review runtime and mounting

Assess temperature, flow, required duration, battery size, trolley loading, cable management and mounting options.

04

Trial and document the configuration

Eligible organisations can discuss a product demonstration or trial using their intended device and operating configuration before procurement.

Australian Biomedical Support

Respiratory power solutions supported by biomedical engineers

OHM Medical IT is part of the wider OHM Biomedical group, a Melbourne-based biomedical engineering and medical technology business supporting healthcare organisations across Australia and New Zealand. Our technical background helps us assess the complete Airvo power and mobility configuration rather than recommending a battery based on capacity alone.

  • Airvo and HFNC equipment review
  • Medical UPS model selection
  • Runtime and load assessment
  • Trolley mounting and cable-management review
  • Demonstration and trial coordination
  • Australian quotations and after-sales assistance

Airvo Backup-Power Questions

Frequently asked questions about medical UPS systems for Airvo

  • A compatible portable medical UPS can support selected Airvo 2 configurations. The exact voltage, output, flow, temperature, expected runtime and complete trolley arrangement should be reviewed and tested before implementation.
  • Yes. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare states that Airvo 3 includes an integrated battery designed to provide up to 50 minutes of intra-hospital mobilisation under specified conditions. An external UPS may be considered where additional runtime or emergency reserve is required.
  • UPS 90 Pure is generally positioned for compact mobility and shorter backup requirements. UPS 270 Pure offers higher capacity for longer-duration workflows. The correct selection depends on the required operating time, therapy settings, trolley and intended application.
  • Zopec publishes an indicative runtime of approximately 90 minutes at 37°C and 60 L/min. Actual runtime varies according to the device, settings, battery condition, warm-up demand and connected equipment.
  • Zopec publishes examples of approximately 4.5 hours at 37°C and 60 L/min and approximately 10 hours at 34°C and 35 L/min. These are indicative manufacturer examples and should be verified using the intended configuration.
  • Zopec states that the integrated mounting adapters on UPS 90 Pure and UPS 270 Pure fit the built-in bracket on suitable Airvo 2 carts. The exact trolley model, locking bracket, weight distribution and cable routing must still be assessed.
  • A portable medical UPS may support approved patient-movement and internal-transport workflows when the complete equipment, power, trolley and clinical configuration has been assessed by the responsible organisation.
  • Zopec describes UPS 90 Pure and UPS 270 Pure as not requiring routine preventive maintenance. Users must still follow the manufacturer's charging, inspection, storage and battery-care instructions.
  • Ask OHM Medical IT for the current Australian regulatory documentation and applicable ARTG details for the exact model being supplied. Do not rely on regulatory information for a different voltage or product variant.
  • Medical UPS selection considers sensitive equipment power requirements, portability, waveform, mounting, alarms, cleaning, clinical mobility and the complete healthcare environment. A conventional office UPS may be bulky or unsuitable for the intended trolley and workflow.
  • Zopec publishes compatibility and runtime examples for selected heated humidifiers. The exact humidifier model, temperature, flow and connected system must be reviewed before use.
  • Eligible healthcare organisations can contact OHM Medical IT to discuss product demonstrations, trials, runtime assessment, mounting review and formal procurement quotations.
