Search Results - portable oxygen concentrator

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A portable oxygen concentrator, (POC) also called a portable concentrator is a portable device used to provide oxygen therapy to a patient at substantially higher concentrations than the levels of ambient air. It is very similar to a home oxygen concentrator, but it smaller in size and more mobile. The portable oxygen concentrator makes it easy for patients to travel freely; they are small enough to fit in a car and most of the major concentrators are now FAA-approved.

Portable oxygen concentrators have been around for decades; but the older versions were bulky, not reliable, and were not permitted on airplanes. Since 2000, a number of manufactures have improved their reliability and they now produce anywhere between 1 and 6 liters per minute (LPM) of oxygen. There are versions that provide pulse or continuous flow. The portable concentrators plug directly into a regular house outlet for charging at home or hotel; but they came with a power adapter that can usually be plugged into a vehicle DC adapter. They have the ability to operate from the battery power as well for either ambulatory use, or away from a power source, or on an airplane.

On July 12, 2005 the American FAA approved the use of portable oxygen concentrator for use on commercial airlines[1]. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) will permit passengers to use certain portable oxygen concentrator devices on aircraft, provided certain conditions in this SFAR are satisfied. The SFAR includes a POC preparation requirement for carry-on baggage transport, and a battery-packaging standard necessary for the safe carriage of extra POC batteries in carry-on baggage. This rulemaking action was deemed necessary to address the traveling needs of people on oxygen therapy.

1. How can you benefit from Oxygen Therapy in the comfort of your own home?
August 27, 2009

Oxygen is the most basic element we need in order to survive. It’s the most basic element that everything needs in order to survive. It also seems like the most natural thing that we can put in our bodies – that’s probably the reason why oxygen therapy is becoming so popular. The latest craze was the Oxygen Bar that sells natural and flavored oxygen just for the fun of it. But there is a big difference between “recreational” oxygen that’s being sold in bars and clubs and the oxygen that is used in the world of medicine for acute and chronic cases and in every emergency, oxygen is one of the mo...

2. New U.S. D.O.T. Regulation Regarding Portable Oxygen Concentrators
May 22, 2009

A new US Department of Transportation regulation regarding portable oxygen concentrators took effect on May 13, 2009. Under this regulation, every FAA approved portable concentrator is now authorized for use during any commercial flight that takes off or lands in the US, regardless of whether the airline itself has approved the device or not. Previously, airlines were allowed to refuse use during flight, even if the FAA had approved the product. As long as the patient has a physician's statement of oxygen necessity that is signed within 10 days of the departure date, and the portable con... (read more)
