Concentrators

An oxygen concentrator is a machine, which separates the oxygen from the other gases in the surrounding air.

The air around us is made up of several different gases:78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. The concentrator draws in air and separates the oxygen from the other gases using a filter system. this filter traps some gases and allows the oxygen to pass through. The oxygen can then be delivered via tubing to cannula for the patient to breathe.

The concentrator plugs into the mains and used around 350 watts of power. It is approx 72cm high x 40cm wide x 36cm deep or 28.5" high x 15.7" wide x 14.5" deep.

The Vitalair oxygen concentrator will provide a constant source of oxygen, 24 hours per day, everyday of the year. Our Patient Service Representative (PSR) will visit the patient every six months to carry out regular maintenance checks on the oxygen concentrators.
