An oxygen Concentrator is a device that concentrates oxygen from the fiber air by selectively removing nitrogen and pumping it by pressure into an air stream that will be enriched with oxygen.
Oxygen concentrators use pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology that is very common for oxygen delivery in healthcare applications, especially when liquid oxygen or pressurized oxygen becomes dangerous or uncomfortable, for example in homes or mobile clinics.
An oxygen Concentrator sucks in air and removes nitrogen, leaving oxygen-enriched air for use by people who need oxygen. Oxygen concentrators provide an economical source of oxygen instead of industrial processes.
What is pressure swing adsorption PSA –
In this technology, oxygen molecules are isolated from other molecules found in the compressed air, thus obtaining oxygen at a high purity level (90%-95%) at the exit point of the Concentrator.
For what is an oxygen Concentrator intended for?
Oxygen concentrators were invented for patients suffering from respiratory diseases of various types and characterized by a low level of oxygen in the blood. The Concentrator is intended for patients suffering from chronic lung or heart disease, people suffering from obstructive diseases and more. Portable and stationary oxygen concentrators are used as breathing aids but do not replace respirators. They are mainly designed to facilitate problematic breathing processes.
Types of oxygen concentrators
Stationary:
A stationary oxygen concentrator works using the continuous flow method ( continuous flow is
Pros:
- Their oxygen output is higher
- Quiet.
Disadvantages of a stationary oxygen concentrator:
- High weight and large dimensions.
- Suitable for home use.
- Limit the patient’s space for movement.
Portable :
The preferred solution for anyone who needs extra oxygen and the ability to easily move around outside the home. Most often, a portable oxygen concentrator runs on batteries and comes with a carrying case. Some models are enough for use of three hours or more.
Stages of operation of an oxygen Concentrator
Collecting the air from the surrounding area
Air compression
Removing nitrogen from the air using the filter
Adjustment of oxygen concentration via electronic interface
Flow of filtered oxygen through a nasal tube or mask
Benefits of an oxygen concentrator
By getting enough oxygen, all the cells and organs in the patient’s body will work better and improve feeling and visibility.
Improving physical tolerance.
Improving sleep quality and quality of life.
Improvement in cognitive abilities.
Oxygen Monitoring Products
Situration meter
Emotions are among the things that cannot be measured, especially when it comes to breathing and lack of oxygen, so the importance of a reliable measuring tool is among the most important (and simple) and must be found in every home! This device monitors the oxygen level in the body in a non-invasive and painful operation and is available in any requirement, thus allowing monitoring both the oxygen level and whether oxygen is consumed, which unnecessarily our device meets the European standard.
Low oxygen levels (91% or lower) can impair the functioning of body systems.
