Managing during unplanned power outages

Unplanned power outages usually occur during extreme weather. Depending on how much you require the ventilator to support your breathing, you may choose to stay at home to ride out the power outage.

If you are concerned that you do not have enough battery power from either your ventilator(s) and/or external battery kit, please move to another location, such as:

• a hospital or supported accommodation that has uninterrupted power
• another home that has working electricity.
