CPAP/BiPAP in Lesotho
Available CPAP/BiPAP Models

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) are non-invasive ventilation therapies essential for managing a range of respiratory conditions, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other forms of sleep-disordered breathing. These devices work by delivering a constant stream of pressurised air through a mask worn by the patient during sleep. This positive air pressure acts as a 'splint' for the airway, preventing it from collapsing or becoming blocked. CPAP delivers a single, steady pressure, while BiPAP offers two distinct pressure levels: a higher pressure during inhalation and a lower pressure during exhalation, which can be more comfortable for some patients and is often used for more complex respiratory needs.

In Lesotho, the need for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy extends across various healthcare settings, addressing a spectrum of respiratory conditions. These life-saving devices are crucial for patients experiencing moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing, as well as those with acute or chronic respiratory failure.

Understanding the specific patient populations and the facility types where they are most likely to receive diagnosis and care is essential for effective resource allocation and patient management. From specialized respiratory units to critical care environments, ensuring access to CPAP/BiPAP is paramount.

We understand that setting up a CPAP or BiPAP machine should be as seamless as possible. Our comprehensive installation process in Lesotho ensures your device is ready to use efficiently and effectively. We cater to both individual and institutional needs, prioritizing a smooth transition to comfortable and restorative sleep therapy.

Site Preparation:

Before our technicians arrive, ensuring a suitable environment is key. This includes identifying a clean, stable surface near a reliable power outlet for the CPAP/BiPAP machine and its humidifier (if applicable). Access to a bedside table or similar surface is recommended for accessories like masks and tubing. For businesses or clinics, clear instruction on patient room preparation, including electrical outlet checks, will be provided.

Delivery and Unpacking:

Your CPAP/BiPAP equipment will be delivered securely by our trained personnel. The delivery includes the main unit, humidifier, tubing, power cord, and any ordered accessories. Our team will handle the unpacking and initial visual inspection to confirm all components are present and undamaged.

Installation Steps:

• Unit Placement: The CPAP/BiPAP machine will be positioned on the prepared surface, ensuring adequate ventilation.

• Humidifier Attachment: If using a humidifier, it will be securely connected to the main unit according to manufacturer guidelines.

• Tubing Connection: The air tubing will be attached to the humidifier outlet or the main unit, depending on the model.

• Power Connection: The power cord will be plugged into the device and then into a grounded electrical outlet.

• Initial Power-On: The device will be powered on to verify basic functionality.

Calibration and Initial Setup:

Following installation, our technicians will perform essential calibration and initial setup based on the prescription provided by your healthcare professional. This includes:

• Setting Pressure Parameters: Inputting the prescribed CPAP or BiPAP pressure levels into the device.

• Humidifier Settings: Adjusting humidity levels based on patient comfort and environmental conditions in Lesotho.

• Ramp Time Configuration: Setting the ramp time to gradually increase pressure, ensuring a comfortable start to therapy.

• Mask Fitting and Seal Check: Assisting with mask selection and ensuring a proper, comfortable fit to prevent leaks.

• Device Familiarization: Providing a brief demonstration on operating the machine, understanding its basic functions, and identifying any error messages.

Our team is committed to ensuring you feel confident and comfortable using your new CPAP/BiPAP therapy device from day one.

The cost of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machines in Lesotho can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the brand, model, specific features, and where you purchase the device. While there isn't a single fixed price, it's possible to provide a general range.

Generally, you can expect to find basic CPAP machines starting in the range of M4,000 to M8,000. More advanced CPAP models with features like heated humidifiers, data tracking, and quiet operation will typically fall between M8,000 and M15,000. BiPAP machines, which offer more complex pressure adjustments, tend to be at the higher end of the spectrum, with prices often ranging from M12,000 to M25,000 or more for top-tier models.

It's important to note that these prices are for the machines themselves. Additional costs may include masks (which can range from M800 to M3,000+ depending on type and fit), tubing, filters, and potentially ongoing maintenance or replacement parts. For the most accurate pricing and to discuss specific needs, it is highly recommended to consult directly with medical equipment suppliers or respiratory specialists operating in Lesotho. They can provide tailored advice and current quotations.
