How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?
A POC system is capable of producing oxygen of up to 90%. The system is made of a system of filters that produce nitrogen from the air. The most important consideration for a POC is its ability to provide adequate oxygen during normal periods. Other variables such as the number and capacity of the system are also considered, such as battery capacity and a number of added-on batteries, or a number of options for re-use of the device as well as the quality of the oxygen it produces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over the years we have had customers ask us a whole range of questions about oxygen Concentrator, so we thought we would include a few of the most common questions here to see if they answer any of your queries. A member of our team will be happy to help you with any queries.
How Does An Oxygen Concentrator Work?
An oxygen concentrator works in a similar way to domestic oxygen therapy, however, the only difference is you can be on the move. An oxygen concentrator will receive air, ensure it is purified and distribute the changed air to the individual who is using the concentrator. The air the concentrator receives initially will be made up of nitrogen, once purified the air is then oxygen with a small percentage of nitrogen, the specialist devices will then extract the nitrogen to ensure that the individual is receiving as much oxygen as possible.
5 & 10-litre oxygen concentrators will use a continuous air supply which the user adjusts to suit. The minimum is 2 litres per minute and up to either 5 or 10 litres per minute. The portable iGo2 uses Smart Technology and monitors your breathing. As you breathe out, the Smart Technology measures your oxygen level and delivers the correct dosage as a pulse as you breathe in. If you are sitting down and inactive, the pulse level is much less than if you were walking around or active.
Does An Oxygen Concentrator Help Improve Sleep?
Yes, the 5 and 10-litre oxygen concentrator would need to be used because as you sleep your levels of oxygen saturation will drop (this happens in those with healthy lungs too). Some individuals who suffer from COPD or other breathing difficulties can experience what is known as transient nocturnal desaturation, this can impact the individual’s sleep and we all know that lack of sleep can lead to other health issues. If you are suffering from a lack of sleep, be sure to speak to your doctor who may advise oxygen therapy through sleeping.
How Do I Know if I Need Oxygen Therapy?
You will likely have discussed this with your doctor, if you have a long term condition and your doctor thinks this will be a suitable option you will have visited an oxygen clinic for an assessment. Here, your oxygen saturation levels will be tested and measured.
What Does An Oxygen Concentrator Do?
An oxygen concentration machine basically ensures that you have the right amount of oxygen that you require throughout the course of the day, this includes when you are sleeping. An oxygen concentration machine will ensure that you have a steady and reliable source of oxygen when you need it, not just at home but when you are out and about to.
Can I Take An Oxygen Concentrator On Holiday?
There is no reason for you not to go on holiday as long as you are well and plan your travel in advance, as you may need to visit your oxygen clinic before you travel. When you do travel, you will need to ensure that you have all of your usual medication and a copy of the home oxygen order form that you receive at the clinic. It is also essential that you advise your travel insurance that you will be using oxygen while you are on holiday and travelling with the machine. The iGo2 is safe to use on aeroplanes and cruise ships.
We hope the above has answered some of the questions you may have about POC’s, but should you have any further questions or need further advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
