5L Portable Oxygen Concentrator

Portable Oxygen Concentrator (5L)

A 5L portable oxygen concentrator is a stationary medical device that takes in room air and delivers concentrated, medical-grade oxygen to a patient at a rate of up to 5 liters per minute. These devices are designed for home use and provide a reliable, continuous source of oxygen, filtering nitrogen from the air to achieve oxygen purity levels typically between 90-96%. Key features include adjustable flow settings, safety alarms, quiet operation, and a compact design for home placement.

How it works 

Air intake: The machine draws in ambient air from the room.

Compression and filtration: It compresses the air and filters out the nitrogen.

Oxygen delivery: The resulting concentrated, oxygen-rich air is then delivered to the user through a nasal cannula or mask.

Key characteristics

Flow rate:

Delivers up to 5 liters per minute (LPM) of continuous flow oxygen. 

Oxygen purity:

Provides medical-grade oxygen with purity levels generally ranging from 90% to 96%. 

Home use:

Designed for use in a patient's home, offering a convenient and reliable oxygen supply. 

Safety features:

Often includes alarms for power failure, low oxygen purity, and pressure issues to ensure user safety. 

Quiet operation:

Engineered for quiet performance, reducing disruption in the home environment. 

Compact design:

Has a smaller footprint to fit easily in living spaces and is often equipped with wheels for portability. 

When it's used

A 5L oxygen concentrator is prescribed for patients with chronic respiratory conditions who require a steady, consistent supply of supplemental oxygen. It provides the necessary oxygen support for daily living and can be used for extended periods, even 24/7.
