We want to look after you, so if someone residing at your premises depends on electrically operated life support equipment, we need to know and your retailer needs to know.
The following types of equipment have been classified as life support equipment:
- Oxygen concentrator
- Intermittent peritoneal dialysis machines
- Kidney dialysis machine
- Chronic positive airways pressure respirators (CPAP)
- Crigler najjar syndrome phototherapy equipment
- Ventilators for life support
- Equipment that your doctor says you need for life support
Register as a life support customer
When you contact us to register please have the following information ready:
