Medical Equipment Rental — Infusion Pump, Nebuliser, Suction Singapore

Service Overview

The EMIS Medical Equipment Rental programme enables patients, caregivers, and healthcare facilities in Singapore to access hospital-grade medical devices on flexible rental terms without the capital outlay of purchasing. The rental fleet includes volumetric infusion pumps for intravenous and enteral therapy, compressor nebuliser machines for respiratory drug delivery, and portable medical suction units for airway secretion management. Each device undergoes a standardised maintenance, cleaning, and functional verification protocol between rental cycles to ensure patient safety and device reliability.

EMIS delivers rental equipment island-wide in Singapore, with same-day and next-day delivery options available. The service is designed to support post-discharge patients requiring continued infusion therapy at home, palliative care patients receiving subcutaneous or intravenous medications, respiratory patients needing regular nebulised bronchodilator or corticosteroid therapy, and patients with tracheostomies or neuromuscular conditions requiring intermittent or continuous suctioning. All equipment is supplied with the necessary consumables (administration sets, nebuliser masks, suction catheters) and a device orientation session is available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What infusion pumps are available for rental?

EMIS offers B. Braun Infusomat Space and Spaceplus volumetric infusion pumps for rental. These are hospital-grade programmable pumps with dose-error reduction systems (DERS), occlusion detection, and air-in-line alarms. They are compatible with Infusomat Space Line IV administration sets and can deliver intravenous fluids, medications, and enteral nutrition at precisely controlled flow rates. All pumps are calibrated and functionally verified before each rental cycle in accordance with IEC 60601 standards.

Do I need a prescription to rent medical equipment?

Infusion pumps and suction machines used for clinical therapy typically require a physician order or discharge prescription specifying the therapy parameters. Nebuliser machines for use with prescribed medications similarly require a prescription for the medication itself. EMIS can coordinate with your prescribing physician or discharge planning team to ensure the correct equipment and consumables are provided.

How are rental devices cleaned and maintained?

All EMIS rental equipment undergoes a standardised decontamination, cleaning, and functional testing protocol between rental cycles. Devices are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants, inspected for physical integrity, functionally tested per manufacturer service manuals, and where applicable, calibrated to ensure accuracy. Maintenance records are kept in accordance with ISO 13485 quality management system requirements. Single-use consumables are always provided new with each rental.

Can equipment be delivered on the same day?

Yes. EMIS offers same-day delivery for medical equipment rentals across Singapore, subject to availability. Orders placed before 2:00 PM on weekdays are typically delivered within 4 to 6 hours. Next-day delivery is available for all orders. For urgent or after-hours needs, contact the EMIS team directly via phone or WhatsApp.

What happens if the equipment malfunctions during rental?

EMIS provides technical support throughout the rental period. If a device malfunctions, a replacement unit will be dispatched promptly, typically within the same day. There is no additional charge for equipment swaps due to device malfunction. For non-urgent technical questions, the EMIS clinical support team is available during business hours to assist with device operation and troubleshooting.
