How to choose Portable Oxygen Concentrator?

Portable Oxygen Concentrator is also called POC. POC works by filtering the air (which is about 21% oxygen) around them, separating the nitrogen from the oxygen. The concentrated oxygen (usually over 90%) is then delivered to the user through a nasal cannula.

Unlike tanks, POC is lightweight and portable, allowing users to participate in daily activities like running errands, socializing, or traveling.The increased mobility and independence provided by POC can significantly enhance a person's well-being.

Here are some things to consider when choosing a POC:

Size and weight: Portable oxygen concentrators come in a variety of sizes and weights. Consider how much you are able to carry and how active you are.

Battery life: The battery life of a POC will vary depending on the model and the flow settings you use. Be sure to choose a POC that has a battery life that will meet your needs.

Noise level: Some POC are quieter than others. If noise is a concern for you, be sure to ask about the noise level of the POC you are considering.

Oxygen flow rate: The oxygen flow rate is the amount of oxygen that the POC delivers per minute. Your doctor will determine the oxygen flow rate that is right for you.

Breathing patterns: Consider your oxygen requirements and breathing patterns.

Portable oxygen concentrators are a great way to maintain an active lifestyle if you require supplemental oxygen therapy.

If you are considering using a portable oxygen concentrator, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine if a POC is right for you and recommend the type of POC that will best meet your needs.
