- Charging and storage plan
Start with the respiratory device
A larger battery is not automatically the correct solution. Select a UPS that meets the equipment's verified electrical demand and backup objective while remaining practical for the person's home environment.
Information required for a recommendation:
- Respiratory device manufacturer
- Exact model
- Australian voltage and frequency
- Internal battery information
- Normal operating load
- Maximum or start-up load
- Humidifier
- Heated tube
- Other accessories
- Required backup duration
- Home, aged-care or supported-living environment
- Quantity required
This guide supports initial comparison only. The actual equipment and proposed UPS configuration should be reviewed before use.
Practical Home Integration
Plan where and how the respiratory UPS will be used
The UPS should be positioned so that the respiratory equipment, battery display, connections and alarms remain accessible without creating trip, heat, moisture or cable-management problems.
Home setup checklist
- Keep the UPS on a stable surface or approved mount
- Do not block device or battery ventilation areas
- Keep connections away from water and excessive heat
- Avoid loose cables across walking paths
- Keep the display and alarms visible
- Make the charger easy for carers to access
- Confirm the connection cannot be accidentally removed
- Avoid connecting unassessed additional equipment
- Ensure family members understand the approved setup
- Document the normal charging position
- Reassess the setup before moving between rooms
- Follow all manufacturer instructions
Room-to-room mobility
Where the equipment needs to move within the home, review the combined weight, carrying arrangement, trolley stability, cable security and expected time away from mains power.
Home and Community Care
Respiratory backup power across different living environments
Home respiratory equipment can be used in private homes, supported accommodation, aged care and rural communities. Each setting has different outage, mobility, staffing and procurement requirements.
Private Home Ventilation
Backup-power assessment for individuals and families using compatible ventilators, NIV, BiPAP, high-flow therapy or respiratory humidification at home.
Rural and Regional Home Care
Power-continuity planning where electricity interruptions, travel distance or access to replacement equipment may require additional preparation.
Aged Care and Supported Living
Equipment-specific medical UPS selection for shared-care environments, with clear charging, inspection and staff instructions.
NDIS-Supported Respiratory Care
Product recommendations and formal quotations for participants, nominees, support coordinators and plan managers. Funding eligibility must be confirmed through the participant's plan and applicable purchasing process.

Home Ventilation UPS Questions
Frequently asked questions about backup power for home respiratory equipment
-
A medical UPS is a backup-power system selected for compatible home ventilators and respiratory equipment. Product selection should consider the device, voltage, accessories, maximum load, required operating time and home environment.
-
The main medical UPS options are Zopec T180, UPS 90 Pure and UPS 270 Pure. T180 is positioned for compatible ventilators and NIV equipment, UPS 90 Pure for compact respiratory backup, and UPS 270 Pure for higher-demand or longer-duration applications.
-
Selected BiPAP and NIV systems may be supported when the voltage, power demand, humidification, heated tubing and required runtime have been confirmed. An equipment-specific assessment is required.
-
T180 and other Zopec medical UPS models may support compatible home ventilators. The exact ventilator model, operating configuration, output voltage and maximum demand must be reviewed before use.
-
Zopec publishes runtime examples for selected AIRVO, myAIRVO and HFNC configurations. Actual runtime depends on temperature, flow, warm-up demand, accessories and battery condition.
-
Heated humidifiers and heated tubing add significant electrical demand and can reduce the available operating time. The complete respiratory configuration must be included in the runtime assessment.
-
Not necessarily. The internal device battery and external UPS should be considered together as part of the person's approved backup-power and care plan.
-
Selected Zopec UPS systems are designed to operate while connected to mains power and retain battery reserve for an interruption. Confirm the operating instructions for the exact supplied model.
-
Portable models may support room-to-room movement when the complete device, battery, carrying arrangement, cables and mobility requirements have been assessed.
-
A portable medical UPS may form part of a rural home respiratory power plan. The required duration, charging access, extended-outage plan and clinical support pathway should also be considered.
-
OHM Medical IT can provide product information and formal quotations for participants, nominees, support coordinators and plan managers. Funding eligibility and approval depend on the participant's plan and purchasing arrangements.
-
Use the wording "included in the ARTG" only where the exact supplied product and accessories are covered by current Australian documentation. OHM Medical IT can provide the applicable regulatory information on request.
-
Zopec describes the relevant products as not requiring routine preventive maintenance. Users should still follow charging, storage, cleaning, inspection and damage-check instructions.
-
Runtime depends on the UPS model, respiratory device, settings, humidifier, heated tubing, accessories, battery condition and environment. Manufacturer examples should be validated with the intended equipment.
-
Only after the combined normal and maximum load, electrical arrangement, runtime and connection method have been assessed. Do not assume multiple devices can be connected because each works separately.
-
Provide the device manufacturer and model, voltage, internal battery, therapy configuration, humidifier, heated tube, required backup duration, quantity and delivery address.
Discuss your home ventilation backup-power requirements
Tell us which respiratory device is being used, what accessories are connected and how many hours of backup are required. OHM Medical IT can assist with Zopec UPS selection, runtime review and formal quotation.
Please include the respiratory device manufacturer, exact model, humidifier, heated tube, internal battery and required backup duration.
