An oxygen concentrator is used to provide medical-grade oxygen to people who require higher concentrations of oxygen than the ambient air. It's commonly used for conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, and other respiratory illnesses. By filtering and concentrating oxygen from the surrounding air, it helps patients maintain adequate oxygen levels in their blood.

This oxygen concentrator operates using a process called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). It takes in ambient air and passes it through a series of filters to remove dust and other particles. Then, it uses a molecular sieve to separate nitrogen from oxygen. The result is a flow of concentrated oxygen (up to 93%±3% purity) that can be inhaled through a nasal cannula or mask. This device runs on electricity and provides a consistent oxygen supply as long as it's powered.

Yes, this oxygen concentrator is suitable for nighttime use. It operates quietly (≤ 60 dB), which minimizes disturbances during sleep. The flow of oxygen ensures that users with chronic respiratory issues can maintain proper oxygen saturation throughout the night. It is important, however, to follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding oxygen therapy duration and settings.

While not designed for on-the-go use like a portable oxygen concentrator, this unit is relatively compact and can be easily moved within the home. It weighs about 5.2 kg, making it light enough for most adults to carry from room to room. Its built-in handle and compact footprint make it a good option for home users who need stationary but movable oxygen therapy equipment.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance. The air intake filter should be cleaned weekly, and the external case wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. If your unit has a humidifier bottle, clean and refill it with distilled water daily. Internal filters or components may need to be serviced every 6–12 months depending on usage. Always refer to the user manual for detailed maintenance guidelines.
