Flow of oxygen needed for the body. A 2 LPM means 2liters of oxygen each minutewill be provided by theconcentrator.
Delivery of oxygen can be either as a, “puffer” or “pulse” which deliver as a burst of oxygen or as a continuous flow where theoxygen is always flowing.
Duration is the timing of theoxygen. It can be daytime, night time, or 24 hours a day.
Prescription for oxygen will determine the options for which concentrator may be suited for your medical needs. Your prescription will include the volume of oxygen needed as well as if the oxygen is required continuously or on a “pulse” or an on-demand “puffer” frequency.
Additionally, prescriptions will have a time aspect where some people may need supplemental oxygen during the night time, and some will need it all the time. Any of these requirements can be met by a concentrator.
Because the requirement of supplemental oxygen is caused by any number of symptoms and illnesses, the amount of oxygen, the frequency your doctor prescribes will establish the medical needs. However, people have different
lifestyles and levels of activity. Two people may have similar prescriptions, but they have different activities and interests they wish to continue to pursue.
As a result, different types of oxygen concentrators may be selected.
