Top 3 Features of Oxygen Concentrator (In-Home)         

What am I looking for in an in-home Oxygen Concentrator?

An in-home oxygen concentrator aims to provide quality oxygen therapy for patients who need it, from the comfort of their own homes. It must also be easy to use, maintain and operate for patients using it in a home or non-clinical setting. It is important to find a medical equipment manufacturer who prioritizes the features discussed below.

Here are our top 3 features of oxygen concentrator (in-home):

1. SAFETY 

In-home care must be safe, and provide patients with similar or comparable care to that which they would receive in a clinical setting. A portable oxygen concentrator with different alarms, including High/Low Flow, High/Low Pressure, Low Oxygen, Power Failure alarms, ensures the safety of both the concentrator and the patient. On top of this, the Chaban Oxytec-5s is fitted with advanced monitoring capabilities that assess both the operation of the concentrator and the oxygen therapy it is providing. 

    2.  EASY TO USE

At-home oxygen therapy must be easy to use: this means easy to read and easy to maintain.

An in-home oxygen concentrator comes with an easy-to-read control panel. It's even better if it comes with an LCD showing when the oxygen concentration dips low, power on/off, and other faults including a pressure circulation or compressor fault are the best fit for in-home care.

Easy to use should also mean easy to maintain- not something that is going to require a professional or specialist. A concentrator with convenient access to the filter for cleaning is essential. 

   3. COMFORTABLE

Something that blends in at home, isn’t too noisy, and is light enough to be moved around a home according to the care and oxygen therapy needs of the patient. A great oxygen concentrator would run at less than 45dB and weigh under 15.9kg. It needs to provide great patient care without unnecessarily intruding in the life of a patient. 

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right in-home oxygen concentrator. Understanding how it would work in providing quality, consistent and safe in-home care is crucial to making this decision. Answer the question "how does an oxygen concentrator work?" in another article.
