This NDIS support item falls under the Capital budget and is used for the Purchase of Assistive Technology. It specifically covers Ventilator Accessories, which are essential for the safe and effective operation of primary respiratory equipment and corresponds to Registration Group 0103 (Assistive Products for Respiration Support).

This line item is designated for the purchase of critical consumable accessories that are frequently required for a participant using a ventilator (including CPAP and BPAP devices). These items are not typically included in the original purchase price of the main unit or require periodic replacement due to hygiene and functionality needs.

The support item covers:

Filters: Both disposable and reusable air filters necessary to ensure clean air delivery to the participant and protect the internal components of the ventilator. This is vital for infection control and machine longevity.

Humidifiers: Devices or components used to add moisture to the air delivered by the ventilator, which is essential to prevent dryness, irritation, and damage to the participant's respiratory tract. This includes heated and non-heated humidifier units or replaceable chambers/components.

The purpose of this line item is to ensure the ongoing functionality, cleanliness, and clinical effectiveness of the participant's primary respiratory equipment, thereby supporting their critical health and safety needs.
