Respiratory Ventilator Machine — Types, Uses & Best in India 2026
A respiratory ventilator machine is a life-changing device for patients who need breathing support at home. With the right machine and correct setup, patients with COPD, sleep apnea, and respiratory failure can live comfortably and safely at home.
What is a Respiratory Ventilator Machine?
A respiratory ventilator machine is a medical device that assists or replaces a patient’s natural breathing. It moves air in and out of the lungs, ensuring the body receives adequate oxygen and removes carbon dioxide effectively.
For home use, non-invasive ventilators (NIV) like the Prisma 30ST use a mask — they are safe, comfortable, and suitable for long-term daily use without any invasive procedure.
Types of Respiratory Ventilator Machines
1. Invasive Ventilator (ICU Ventilator)
Used in hospitals and ICUs for critically ill patients. Requires intubation. Not suitable for home use.
2. Non-Invasive Ventilator (NIV / BiPAP-ST)
Delivers breathing support through a face mask — no tubes needed. The Prisma 30ST is the leading home NIV respiratory ventilator machine in India.
3. CPAP Machine
One fixed pressure continuously. Best for obstructive sleep apnea only. Not suitable for COPD or central apnea.
4. BiPAP-ST Ventilator — Prisma 30ST
The most advanced home respiratory ventilator — delivers two pressures plus a timed backup rate. Best for COPD, central sleep apnea, OHS, and post-ICU home care.
