"Life starts with health,it continues with your loved ones."
An oxygen concentrator, also known as an “oxygen device”, “oxygen machine” or “oxygen generator“, is a medical device used to deliver oxygen to individuals who have a health condition that causes or results in low oxygen levels in their blood.
How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?
Here’s how to answer the question of how oxygen concentrators work: Oxygen concentrators filter the oxygen present in the ambient air and provide the patients with 92±3% pure oxygen.
In Which Treatments Are Oxygen Concentrators Used?
Oxygen therapy is administered to patients with chronic respiratory failure, emphysema, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Depending on the condition of the disease and the patient, the oxygen level and pressure are determined, and an oxygen is provided accordingly. It helps patients to breathe more easily and thus allows the disease process to pass more gently.
Oxygen Concentrator Humidification Bottle
Because oxygen is a dry gas, it causes patients’ throats to become dry. To prevent dryness in the patient’s throat, a humidifier bottle was installed in the oxygen concentrator devices. By passing the dry air from the device through water, this bottle humidifies it and gives humid air to the patient.
When Should The Oxygen Concentrator Humidifier Bottle Be Changed?
The deformation time of the humidifier bottle varies according to the lime rate and the density of other elements of the water put into the humidifier bottle of the oxygen concentrator. To increase the life of these bottles, pure (distilled) water should be used. It is possible to increase the lifetime of the oxygen concentrator humidifier bottle by cleaning it regularly.
What is a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Individuals who require oxygen therapy find it challenging to carry their devices when they wish to travel somewhere. The patient and their families become exhausted as a result of this situation, and the equipment itself wears out. Patients have a psychological barrier as a result of this. The patient is limited in space in the home or in another environment. Therefore, portable oxygen concentrators have been developed. There are models that can be worn on the back or shoulder in the form of a bag, and models with pulls like a suitcase. The weight of such equipment varies between 8 kg and 800 gr depending on the features and capacity of the device. Portable type oxygen concentrators work at flow rates as low as 0.5 liter/minute and 1 liter/minute due to their small and light weight.
Elmaslar Medikal analyzed the needs of patients and developed Healthtime OC5 and Healthtime OC10 oxygen concentrators with a patient unit design that extends up to 15 meters without loss of pressure and purity in order to increase the mobility of patients in their environment. With this design, the products received the 2010 Good Design Award.
What is the Difference Between 5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator and 10 Liter Oxygen Concentrator?
Oxygen concentrators are usually able to deliver 5 liters of oxygen per minute. Thanks to the developing technology and due to the arising needs, models that give 10 liters of oxygen per minute have also been produced. You can visit the product pages for detailed information about the 5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator and the 10 Liter Oxygen Concentrator.
The History of Oxygen Concentrator
Oxygen concentrators were first discovered in 1772 by Swedish-born chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The first use of oxygen was made by Dr George Holtzapple in New York for the treatment of pneumonia. During the First World War, an oxygen mask apparatus was designed and used in 1917 for the soldiers who needed clean oxygen. It was the idea of John Scott who developed the oxygen mask apparatus.
Swedish John Scott is an important doctor and scientist who has made many discoveries about the nature of man and gases.
