About this equipment
Assembling a home ICU one item at a time is how families end up at 2 AM discovering the suction catheters are the wrong size for the tracheostomy, or that the monitor is alarming on defaults nobody set. This is the same equipment, commissioned as a system: bed, alternating-pressure mattress, multi-para monitor, oxygen source and suction unit, delivered together, configured to the treating doctor's numbers, and handed over device by device to whoever will be doing the caring. It takes three to four hours and it is the difference between having equipment and having a working setup.
Indications — when this is used
- Discharge home on long-term critical or high-dependency care
- Ventilated, tracheostomised or unconscious patients
- Advanced neurological disease requiring continuous support
- Palliative care at home where hospital transfer is not wanted
Who it is for
- Families bringing a critically ill relative home
- Patients under long-term specialist care at home
- Facilities setting up a high-dependency room

Also know about
The things that are easy to find out too late.
Equipment is the smaller half
A home ICU without trained hands present is not a home ICU. Encone Care provides the nursing; if you have not arranged it, arrange it before the equipment arrives.
Power backup is not optional
Concentrator, monitor and suction all stop when mains power fails. For a dependent patient that is an emergency, and a domestic inverter is usually undersized for the load.
No ventilator in this package
Invasive ventilation requires separate clinical assessment and a respiratory therapist handover. Ask us and we will arrange it as a separate line.
Alarm limits get set once, then revisited
The numbers configured at installation reflect the patient's condition that day. When the condition changes, the limits need changing with it.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Commissioned as a system in a single three-to-four-hour visit rather than dropped off as separate boxes. The bed is assembled and levelled, the air mattress laid and set to the patient's weight, the monitor mounted and every alarm limit configured to the treating doctor's instructions, the oxygen source sited and set to the prescribed flow, and the suction machine assembled with the correct catheter sizes. The visit ends with a handover covering each device in turn.
Before delivery
Configuration is agreed with the treating doctor before delivery — alarm limits, oxygen flow and suction pressure are clinical settings, not defaults. Confirm a room of at least 3.0 m × 2.5 m with access on both sides of the bed, two 16 A sockets on separate circuits, and an inverter sized for a continuous 1.5 kW load. Confirm who will provide trained attendant care.
Ongoing care and servicing
Breakdown replacement runs 24×7 within the service area — a replacement unit is dispatched rather than a repair scheduled. Alarm limits, oxygen flow and the turning schedule should be reviewed whenever the patient's condition changes.
When not to use it
- No trained attendant or nursing cover
- A home ICU without trained hands present is not a home ICU. Equipment cannot substitute for someone who knows what the numbers mean.
- No power backup
- Concentrators, monitors and suction all stop when mains power fails. Without an inverter this setup is unsafe for a dependent patient.
- Patients requiring invasive ventilation
- A ventilator is not part of this package. It requires separate clinical assessment and a respiratory therapist handover.
- Rooms without two-sided bed access
- Turning, transfers and emergency access all need clearance on both sides.
Possible side effects
- Alarm fatigue across multiple devices
- Several devices alarming independently is far more wearing than one. Limits are set together at commissioning for this reason.
- Mucosal trauma from incorrect suction technique
- Excessive pressure or an oversized catheter damages the airway lining. Technique is covered at handover and should be refreshed.
- Healthcare-associated infection
- Suction circuits, catheters and humidifier water are all infection routes when reprocessing schedules slip.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Loss of oxygen or suction during a power failure
- For a ventilated or secretion-loaded patient, an unbacked power cut is immediately life-threatening.
- Unrecognised deterioration overnight
- If monitor alarms are muted or unattended, a desaturation or arrhythmia can progress unnoticed to cardiac arrest.
Regulatory status
Supplied as a package of individually classified devices under India's Medical Devices Rules, 2017, spanning Class A to Class C; each component carries its own classification. The package itself is a coordination and commissioning service and holds no separate device classification. Encone Care claims no CDSCO approval.
