Common questions about Zopec Medical UPS backup power for CPAP, home ventilators and oxygen concentrators in Australia.
Which Zopec UPS is best for my CPAP machine?
The Zopec Explore 5500 and Explore Mini are designed for CPAP and BiPAP machines. The Explore 5500 provides extended capacity suitable for most CPAP users including those using heated humidification, while the compact Explore Mini is designed for lightweight travel use. Both output a stable AC power supply compatible with standard CPAP power adaptors. Runtime depends on your machine's pressure setting, humidity level, and whether the heated humidifier is active. Contact OHM Healthcare with your device model and settings for a specific runtime estimate.
How long will the Explore 5500 power a CPAP machine?
The Explore 5500 provides approximately 8–24 hours of CPAP backup power depending on pressure settings, humidifier use, and the specific machine model. At low pressures without heated humidification, runtime is typically toward the higher end. With a heated humidifier active, runtime is reduced. OHM Healthcare can provide runtime estimates for your specific machine and settings on request.
Can I use a Zopec UPS for a home ventilator?
The Zopec UPS 90 Pure is designed to provide backup power for home ventilators such as the ResMed Stellar 25/50, Philips Trilogy, and other NIV home ventilators drawing up to 90W. It outputs pure sine wave AC power compatible with home ventilator power supplies. OHM Healthcare recommends verifying compatibility with your specific ventilator model and confirming runtime requirements with your respiratory clinician or equipment supplier.
Can a Zopec UPS power an oxygen concentrator?
The Zopec UPS 90 Pure is designed to provide AC backup power for portable oxygen concentrators drawing up to 90W, such as the Inogen One G5 and Drive DeVilbiss iGo2. Runtime depends on the concentrator's power draw at the prescribed flow setting. For stationary home oxygen concentrators drawing higher wattage, contact OHM Healthcare to assess compatibility and backup duration requirements.
Are Zopec UPS devices TGA-listed?
Yes. Zopec Medical's power backup products are included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as Class 1 medical devices, sponsored by Zopec Medical LLC under ARTG entries 478166, 478167, and 478305. The devices are designed to meet IEC 60601-1 and IEC 62133-2 electrical safety standards, and are electrically safety-tested to AS/NZS 3551 by OHM Healthcare prior to delivery.
Can I take the Zopec Explore Mini on a plane?
The Zopec Explore Mini is designed with air travel in mind. It carries a lithium-ion battery within the Wh rating that is typically permitted as carry-on luggage under IATA regulations. Passengers should always check with their airline before travel, as airline policies on lithium batteries vary. The Explore Mini is intended for use with CPAP and other low-wattage medical devices during travel.
Can the Zopec Explore Mini run a BiPAP machine?
The Explore Mini is designed for lower-wattage CPAP and BiPAP devices. Compatibility depends on your specific BiPAP machine's power requirements and the pressure settings prescribed. Full BiPAP with heated humidification draws more current and may reduce runtime significantly. OHM Healthcare recommends confirming your machine's power draw before purchasing.
Is Zopec UPS available under NDIS?
Zopec Medical UPS devices may be fundable under the NDIS as an assistive technology or consumable supporting a participant's disability-related daily activities, depending on individual plan goals and support needs. OHM Healthcare can provide documentation to support an NDIS funding application. Participants should discuss with their NDIS planner, support coordinator, or Local Area Coordinator.
