Non Invasive Ventilator for Home Use in India — Complete Guide 2026
After an ICU admission or a diagnosis of COPD, sleep apnea, or respiratory failure, many patients are sent home with a prescription for a non invasive ventilator. If you are wondering what this means and how to get the right device in India — this guide is for you.
What is a Non Invasive Ventilator (NIV)?
A non invasive ventilator (NIV) is a breathing support machine that helps patients breathe more effectively — without any surgical procedure, tubes, or intubation. It delivers pressurised air through a comfortable face mask or nasal mask.
The word non-invasive means the support is given from outside the body through a mask, rather than through a tube inserted into the airway. The Prisma 30ST by Löwenstein Medical is one of the most prescribed home NIV machines in India.
