Choosing the Right Oxygen Concentrator
Choosing the right oxygen concentrator depends on a patient's specific needs and lifestyle. Factors to consider when choosing an oxygen concentrator include flow rate, oxygen purity, weight and size, battery life, and ease of use.
Two popular options for patients are the Philips SimplyGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator and the Respironics EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator.
The Philips SimplyGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator is a high-flow POC that can deliver up to 2 liters per minute of continuous flow oxygen. It is rugged and durable, making it suitable for use in a variety of settings.
The Respironics Everflo Oxygen Concentrator is a stationary oxygen concentrator that delivers a flow rate of up to 5 LPM. It is compact, lightweight, and easy to maintain, making it a suitable option for patients who need supplemental oxygen at home.
When choosing an oxygen concentrator, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the best option for your specific needs and requirements.
