An oxygen generator (concentrator) is a device that separates oxygen from the ambient air using an adsorption process. It passes atmospheric air through a special filter and the result is an air mixture containing up to 90-95% oxygen. The device is used for the treatment of severe broncho-obstructive syndrome and respiratory failure. The oxygen concentrator can be used in hospital, emergency medical services, rescue services and respiratory recovery centers, as well as at home.
The main advantage of an oxygen concentrator over other gas sources is its availability for home use. You just need to remember the basic safety rules: do not exceed the oxygen therapy time for more than 20 minutes, never use an oxygen concentrator without a humidifier and change the water in it daily, do not consume alcohol and sedatives before the session.
The portable oxygen concentrator is designed for one patient at time, otherwise there is a risk of cross contamination. Do not use an oxygen concentrator if the ambient temperature is above + 35 ° C. The optimal operating temperature for a particular device is always indicated in the instructions - most often it is in the range from + 10 ° C to + 35 ° C.
Oxygen concentrators should be designed to operate continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 5 years or more, according to WHO. The oxygen they receive is inferior in quality to that obtained by cryogenic means - 95% pure versus 99%, but it is widely used in the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus infection. Oxygen concentrators are the simplest alternative to cylinders. They are portable, unlike cryogenic gasifiers, which require tanks for storage and transportation, and oxygen cylinders require refueling. However, concentrators only need an energy source to suck in ambient air. In the short term, cylinders are cheaper, but after 3 years of operation, the oxygen concentrator pays off its cost, and it is much easier to operate.
