How to use an Oxygen Concentrator.
The use of an oxygen concentrator is fairly easy as most of them are user friendly. All you need to do is switch it on, set your desired flow rate and put on the oxygen mask.
Difference between Stationary and Portable?
Stationary
A stationary oxygen concentrator is an oxygen concentrator that usually can only be used while plugged into a wall socket/ electricity outlet. These units have a continuous flow and is ideal for patients with a flow rate recommendation by their doctor for above 2L/min.
Portable
A portable Oxygen Concentrator can be used as a stationary unit as well as portable. It has a light weight design with a battery making it easier to carry around with you. It is very comfortable and allows you to leave the house with the ease of having oxygen for at least 4 – 8hours depending on usage. The portable concentrator has a pulse flow, meaning it only gives oxygen when you breath in and not continuous to preserve the battery life.
