More than 1.5 million Americans use an oxygen concentrator for supplemental oxygen therapy. You can rent or buy oxygen concentrators, depending on whether you need them for short-term therapy or long-term treatment.
You need to get your doctor’s OK before you buy or use an oxygen concentrator. Using one without their guidance or a prescription can be dangerous and cause lung damage. If the doctor thinks a concentrator might be right for you, they’ll let you know how much oxygen to take, how long to use the device, and how to use it properly so it doesn’t interfere with your daily activities like bathing, working, and sleeping.
- compressed and liquid oxygen. Ccompressed oxygen stores at least 95% oxygen in a metal cylinder.
- Liquid oxygen is 100% oxygen in liquid form that you carry in a tank. Oxygen becomes liquid at -297 degrees F. Liquid oxygen is compressed to fit into your tank, and when released, it reverts back into gas. You must handle liquid oxygen tanks carefully because exposure to the liquid form can cause cold-temperature burns or frostbite.
How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?
An oxygen concentrator isn’t the same thing as an oxygen tank, which delivers liquid or gas oxygen. Instead, the concentrator is a machine that uses the air around you to make oxygen. The machine pulls air in through a filter and into an air compressor. More filters trap nitrogen and let the oxygen through, where it is collected in a tank. A thin tube runs from the device to your face, giving you this  oxygen through two open prongs below your nostrils or through a facemask.
There are two types of concentrators: a bigger model you can use at home, and a lighter, portable model you can use on the go. A typical single-battery oxygen concentrator can last from 2 to 6 hours. A double-battery model lasts from 5 to 13 hours. If your model has a plug instead of a battery, it will work as long as it’s plugged in. You will usually need to use your oxygen concentrator for 15 to 24 hours a day.
Portable Oxygen Concentrator
A portable oxygen concentrator, also known as a travel oxygen concentrator, is smaller and lighter than the at-home version so you can use it running errands or while traveling. The device fits in a pack that you carry with a handle or with a sling that goes over your shoulder. Heavier devices may be on a cart with wheels that you pull. Portable oxygen machines run on a rechargeable battery and tend to weight between 2 and 20 pounds.
Because they are smaller, portable concentrators give you less oxygen than an at-home machine. It supplies oxygen by pulse dose, meaning the oxygen comes out in small bursts each time you inhale. Some models can also give you oxygen at a steady flow rate. Talk to your doctor to make sure that you’re getting the right amount of oxygen from either setting. A low-flow travel device usually provides 0.5-5 liters of oxygen per minute. A high-flow machine can produce as much as 10 liters per minute.
- Carry an extra battery. Even though your device’s display panel should indicate how much battery life remains, bring a spare with you in case you won’t be home for a while.
- Clean your gear regularly. Wash the tubing or facemask once a week with warm water and mild dish soap. Clean them more often if you get sick. Let them air dry, and don’t let water get in the tube. If the tubing looks damaged, get a replacement from your oxygen supplier. Follow the maker’s instructions on how to clean the filter.
Home Oxygen Concentrator
Your doctor might prescribe a stationary oxygen concentrator if you need constant oxygen while you’re in your house or sleeping. These are heavier than the travel oxygen concentrators, weighing about 22 pounds. You can lift the machine by its handles, but it also has wheels, so it can be rolled when you are walking around. These machines can generate up to 15 liters of oxygen per minute.
