All equipment supplied meets IEC 60601-1 medical electrical equipment safety standards and ISO 13485:2016 manufacturing quality requirements, and the service is structured to align with MOH Singapore's prescribing guidelines for long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) requiring arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) ≤55 mmHg or oxygen saturation (SpO₂) ≤88% on room air at rest. Rental is available on monthly or weekly terms, with professional delivery, setup, patient and caregiver training, and ongoing clinical support islandwide.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eService Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a cornerstone intervention for patients with chronic hypoxaemic respiratory failure. Singapore MOH prescribing guidelines, aligned with GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) and BTS (British Thoracic Society) standards, recommend LTOT for a minimum of 15 hours per day in patients with confirmed chronic hypoxaemia, with evidence demonstrating significant survival benefit in severe COPD. Home oxygen therapy is equally indicated in palliative respiratory care, where comfort and dyspnoea management are the primary goals, as well as in post-surgical, post-COVID, and acute-on-chronic respiratory conditions managed in community settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMIS Singapore delivers and professionally installs oxygen therapy equipment at patients' homes across Singapore, including HDB and private residential premises, nursing homes, and step-down care facilities. Each rental includes an initial clinical assessment consultation, equipment selection guided by the patient's prescribed flow rate and mobility requirements, caregiver training on equipment operation and safety, and a 24-hour helpline. Equipment options include high-flow stationary concentrators (1–10 LPM), portable concentrators with pulse or continuous flow, and backup oxygen cylinders. All units are serviced and calibrated before each rental assignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEquipment Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;

Home oxygen therapy must be prescribed by a qualified physician — typically a respiratory physician, geriatrician, or palliative care specialist — following clinical assessment confirming chronic hypoxaemia. In Singapore, prescribing criteria align with MOH and GOLD guidelines: resting SpO₂ ≤88% or PaO₂ ≤55 mmHg on room air on two separate measurements, or SpO₂ ≤88% during exertion or sleep. EMIS can coordinate with the treating physician to confirm the appropriate flow rate and equipment specification. Prescription documentation is retained in the patient's LTOT records, which may be required for AIC Equipment Rental Scheme subsidy applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a stationary concentrator and a portable concentrator, and how do I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStationary oxygen concentrators (typically 5–10 LPM units) provide continuous, high-flow supplemental oxygen at rest or during low-mobility activities at home. They require a continuous power supply and produce oxygen from ambient air at 90–96% purity. Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are battery-operated, lightweight devices suitable for ambulation and travel; most POCs use pulse-dose delivery optimised for spontaneous breathing. The selection between stationary and portable equipment is guided by the prescribed flow rate, the patient's oxygen requirements during exertion, mobility status, and living environment. EMIS clinical advisors can assist in equipment selection based on the prescribing physician's instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs oxygen therapy equipment covered by MediShield Life, MediFund, or AIC subsidies in Singapore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome oxygen concentrator rental may be subsidised through the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) Equipment Rental Scheme (ERS) for eligible patients, including those receiving subsidised palliative home care or community nursing services. MediFund assistance is available for Singapore citizens with demonstrated financial need. CHAS (Community Health Assist Scheme) may apply for associated consultations. MediShield Life does not directly cover home rental equipment; however, means-tested medical subsidies at restructured hospitals may be applied toward the prescribing specialist visit. Patients should engage their care coordinator or medical social worker to determine applicable schemes prior to rental commencement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety precautions apply to home oxygen use in Singapore HDB or private residences?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxygen-enriched environments significantly increase fire risk. Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and MOH guidelines require the following for home oxygen use: no smoking within 3 metres of equipment; keep oxygen equipment away from open flames, gas cookers, and electrical sources of ignition; ensure adequate room ventilation; store oxygen cylinders upright in a secure, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. EMIS technicians conduct a home safety assessment during equipment installation and provide a printed safety checklist. Concentrator power cables must not be covered or routed under carpets. In the event of equipment malfunction or oxygen-related emergency, contact EMIS support or Singapore emergency services (995).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I arrange oxygen therapy equipment rental from EMIS, and what is the delivery timeline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRental can be arranged directly through emis.asia or by contacting the EMIS clinical supply team. Upon receipt of the physician prescription and rental agreement, EMIS schedules equipment delivery, typically within 24 hours or on the same day for urgent cases. The rental package includes professional delivery to any Singapore residential or care facility address, equipment setup and operational testing, patient and caregiver training, and collection at the end of the rental period. Extensions are managed by contacting EMIS prior to the rental expiry date. B2B and institutional accounts for nursing homes, home care agencies, and hospices are available with consolidated monthly billing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is Oxygen Therapy Equipment Rental — Singapore used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Oxygen Therapy Equipment Rental — Singapore by EMIS + is an ostomy care product designed to support stoma management and protect peristomal skin.
