stationary oxygen concentrator that is an answer for patients who are looking for something more from their home oxygen concentrator.
The first question that must be answered, “is a portable respironics oxygen concentrator appropriate for my oxygen therapy needs?” Those oxygen users who can’t tolerate pulse-dose systems are relegated to one unit, the SeQual Eclipse. And if you need over 3 LPM continuous flow the Eclipse will not meet your needs either.
Other oxygen users whose minute ventilation increases significantly with exertion may out breathe the capability of these machines. The ability of portable oxygen concentrators to maintain oxygen purity with increased minute ventilation is limited due to their size. And different units have varying capabilities in this regard.
Still other oxygen dependent persons have conditions which will require an ever increasing need for oxygen. If you are in this category, a POC is most likely not going to meet your long-term needs.
