Using Your Stationary Oxygen Concentrator
Choosing the Best Oxygen Machine for Home Use
Stationary Concentrators
Oxygen machines for home use, also known as stationary oxygen concentrators, are designed for oxygen therapy in a home setting. While these units often feature caster wheels for mobility within the home, their size and weight make them unsuitable for portable use outside. For patients with conditions such as emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), these machines are essential for delivering continuous oxygen support.
Continuous Flow vs. Pulse Flow Oxygen
Most stationary oxygen concentrators provide continuous flow oxygen, delivering a steady stream during both inhalation and exhalation. In contrast, smaller portable oxygen concentrators typically utilize pulse flow oxygen, which provides oxygen only during the inhalation cycle. This difference allows stationary units to deliver greater oxygen output and support tubing lengths up to 50 feet, offering patients significant mobility within their homes.
Features and Options
Flow Rates and Altitude Performance
Home concentrators typically deliver 2 to 10 liters per minute (LPM) of oxygen, adjustable via a selector on the unit’s control panel. Since altitude can affect oxygen delivery, many manufacturers include the option of an O2 sensor to monitor and ensure accurate oxygen output.
