CPAP/BiPAP in Mauritius
Available CPAP/BiPAP Models

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) are advanced non-invasive ventilation therapies designed to manage a range of respiratory conditions. These devices deliver a constant, precise flow of pressurized air through a mask, ensuring that the patient's airway remains open during sleep or periods of respiratory distress.

CPAP provides a single, consistent level of positive airway pressure throughout the entire breathing cycle. This constant pressure acts as a pneumatic splint, preventing the collapse of the upper airway. BiPAP, on the other hand, offers two distinct pressure levels: a higher pressure during inhalation (IPAP) to assist with breathing in and a lower pressure during exhalation (EPAP) to make breathing out more comfortable. This makes BiPAP particularly suitable for patients who require more significant ventilatory support or have difficulty tolerating CPAP.

The primary function of both CPAP and BiPAP machines is to improve oxygenation and ventilation by preventing airway obstruction or hypoventilation. By maintaining an open airway, they significantly reduce the instances of apneas (pauses in breathing) and hypopneas (shallow breathing) that characterize conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) therapy are vital for managing various respiratory conditions. In Mauritius, these devices are essential across a spectrum of healthcare facilities, from tertiary referral centers to smaller community clinics, catering to a diverse patient population with sleep-disordered breathing and other chronic respiratory ailments. The demand for these life-supportive technologies extends across multiple departments, underscoring their widespread importance in modern patient care.

Ensuring the optimal performance and user comfort of your CPAP or BiPAP machine in Mauritius begins with a straightforward and professional installation process. We manage every step to guarantee your therapy is set up correctly and efficiently.

Site Preparation:

Before delivery, we'll advise you on the ideal placement for your device. This typically involves identifying a stable, bedside surface with easy access to a power outlet and, if applicable, a humidifier water source. Ensuring adequate ventilation around the machine is also key to its efficient operation and longevity. For seamless integration, consider a bedside table or a dedicated stand, free from excessive dust or moisture.

Delivery And Initial Setup:

Our certified technicians will deliver your CPAP/BiPAP unit directly to your location in Mauritius. Upon arrival, they will unpack the equipment, confirm all components are present and undamaged, and conduct an initial visual inspection. The machine will be connected to a power source, and basic system checks will be performed to ensure it's ready for calibration.

Installation Steps:

• Device Placement: The technician will position the CPAP/BiPAP machine according to the pre-determined site preparation guidelines.
• Hose and Mask Connection: The breathing circuit tubing will be securely attached to the device. If you have a pre-selected mask, it will be connected to the other end of the tubing. If a mask fitting is required, this will be performed at this stage.
• Humidifier Attachment (if applicable): If your therapy includes humidification, the humidifier chamber will be filled with distilled water (we will provide guidance on the type of water to use) and connected to the machine.
• Initial Power-On: The machine will be powered on to confirm it is functioning correctly.

Calibration And Prescription Settings:

This is a critical phase to personalize your therapy. Our technician will input the pressure settings prescribed by your physician directly into the CPAP/BiPAP machine. They will then perform a calibration test, often with you connected to the mask, to verify the pressure delivery and flow are accurate. This process ensures your therapy is optimized for effectiveness and comfort, adhering strictly to your medical prescription. We will also provide a brief demonstration on basic operation and maintenance.

The cost of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machines in Mauritius can vary significantly based on several factors, including the brand, specific model features, whether it's a new or refurbished unit, and the retailer. Generally, you can expect to find a range of options to suit different budgets.

For a basic CPAP machine, which is the most common type for treating sleep apnea, prices typically start from around MUR 25,000 and can go up to MUR 60,000 or more for advanced models with integrated humidifiers and Bluetooth connectivity.

BiPAP machines, which offer two different pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation and are often prescribed for more complex respiratory conditions, tend to be at the higher end of the price spectrum. Expect to pay anywhere from MUR 45,000 for a standard BiPAP device, with prices reaching MUR 90,000 and beyond for sophisticated, feature-rich models. These higher-end machines may include features like automatic altitude adjustment, leak compensation, and advanced data reporting.

It's important to note that these figures are for the machines themselves. Additional costs may include the purchase of masks (which can range from MUR 5,000 to MUR 15,000+ depending on type and brand), tubing, filters, and potentially ongoing maintenance or servicing. Always consult with your healthcare provider and reputable medical equipment suppliers in Mauritius to get accurate quotes and discuss the best machine for your specific needs.
