Independent Respiratory Services

Independent Respiratory Services (IRS) is a leading provider of respiratory home care services and medical equipment in British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1996, the company specializes in the clinical assessment and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, as well as the provision of home oxygen therapy. Their service model includes community-based clinics that offer level 3 sleep studies, CPAP therapy management, and the supply of medical-grade oxygen concentrators. IRS operates a comprehensive network across the province to support patients with chronic respiratory conditions through personalized care and equipment maintenance. In 2016, the company was acquired by Air Liquide Healthcare's Canadian subsidiary, VitalAire, though it continues to operate under its established brand name.
