Description
An oxygen concentrator is a medical machine that is designed to be used to deliver supplemental oxygen to individuals who have been prescribed oxygen therapy by a healthcare professional. It acts by drawing in air from the environment, filtering out nitrogen and providing oxygen to the patient via a nasal cannula or oxygen mask.
The oxygen concentrator may be used at home or in healthcare facilities, depending on the patient's requirement for oxygen. There are different models available in a range of oxygen output, flow setting, size, weight, power consumption and portability. Certain compact models are created to be more easily moved around the house.
Some of the key features to keep in mind while selecting an oxygen concentrator include oxygen flow, pulse dose or continuous dose output, noise level, power backup, maintenance needs, warranty, and after-sales support.
When patients need frequent oxygen support, choosing the appropriate device can make oxygen therapy more convenient and comfortable. Always use oxygen concentrator in accordance with the professional medical advice and prescribed oxygen requirements.
