Breathing monitor: rent or buy
November 8, 2025
Why is it worth renting a breathing monitor?
If you are unsure whether to rent or buy a breathing monitor, renting has many advantages, especially for parents who need it only for a certain period. Here are the main reasons why it is often the better choice:
Financial savings – you use the monitor only during the period when your baby truly needs it, without the need for a large one-time investment.
VšZP support – policyholders of the General Health Insurance Company (VšZP) are eligible for a contribution towards the rental of a breathing monitor.
Proven support system – we have been operating since 2008.
a naše monitory dychu využilo viac ako 50 000 rodín.
Rental flexibility – the monitor can be rented for the necessary period
according to the family’s needs.

Financial benefit: a sensible solution for every family
Buying a breathing monitor is a more expensive option, especially if you plan to use it for only a few months. Renting allows you to have a reliable device during the period it is truly needed—without increasing your expenses.
For many parents, it is a more affordable way to ensure their baby has a safe sleep and peace of mind during the first months of life.
Rental locations across Slovakia
Since 2008, we have built an extensive network of rental locations in Slovakia to make breathing monitors accessible to all families, regardless of region. We currently operate in more than 70 rental locations.
We collaborate with hospitals and Dr. Max pharmacies, which have been our long-standing partners.
You can rent breathing monitors directly after birth at the hospital or at the nearest Dr. Max pharmacy.
Renting is quick, without unnecessary paperwork and without the need for complicated ordering. To pick up the device, all you need is an ID card and to sign the rental agreement. The device can be collected in person or through a pre-arranged procedure.
Our goal is to ensure that parents have a breathing monitor available when they need it most—without delays, stress, or obstacles.
VšZP contribution – Health Wallet
If you are insured with the General Health Insurance Company (VšZP), you can use a financial contribution of up to €50 for renting a breathing monitor. This benefit is available through the Health Wallet in the mobile app or via the VšZP e-Branch.
This option is exclusively for VšZP policyholders and provides important support for parents who want a reliable medical device for their baby without high costs.
Our experience and parents’ trust
Thousands of positive reviews and feedback from parents confirm to us that what we do truly makes a difference.
Rental flexibility
Every family has different needs, which is why we approach rentals individually. We rent out breathing monitors for the necessary period—until the high-risk period passes or according to the pediatrician’s recommendation.
If parents need to use the monitor for a longer period, the rental can be extended by 3 or 6 months.
See the instructions for extending the rental of a breathing monitor.
