Oxygen Concentrators
An oxygen concentrator works by filtering and concentrating oxygen molecules from the ambient air to provide patients with 90% to 95% pure oxygen. The compressor of the oxygen concentrator sucks ambient air and adjusts the pressure at which it is provided.
If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your doctor may prescribe supplemental oxygen treatment. This is added to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Supplemental oxygen is used when PAP therapy does not provide enough relief for low blood oxygen levels. Oxygen is not used alone as a treatment for sleep apnea because it is not able to stop apnea from happening.
Until now, oxygen concentrators have been very similar – heavy, bulky, noisy, or requiring frequent maintenance. EverFlo from Respironics is a unique stationary concentrator that delivers what homecare providers want and patients deserve.
