Understanding Oxygen Concentrators & Home Environment
Oxygen concentrators work by absorbing ambient air and removing nitrogen using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. This allows the device to deliver up to 96% concentrated oxygen to patients needing respiratory support.
For maximum efficiency, it’s important to place the machine in a well-ventilated room. Poor airflow can cause overheating or restrict intake of fresh air, which affects performance.

What is an Oxygen Concentrator?
An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that extracts oxygen from ambient air and delivers concentrated oxygen (up to 96%) to individuals with low blood oxygen levels. It works using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to separate nitrogen and retain oxygen, making it a reliable alternative to oxygen cylinders.
Unlike traditional oxygen cylinders that require frequent refills and deliver 99% purity, oxygen concentrators are preferred for home use due to their portability, continuous supply, and ease of use. Modern models weigh around 12–15 kg and are capable of running 8–12 hours a day with minimal noise.
Key Benefits of Using an Oxygen Concentrator
- Delivers up to 96% pure oxygen continuously
- No need for refills or heavy cylinders
- Available from 2 LPM to 15 LPM (liters per minute)
- Dual 10 LPM setup can deliver up to 20 LPM for critical cases
- Equipped with low-noise compressors for home comfort
Care and Maintenance
Oxygen concentrators use accessories like a humidifier bottle and nasal cannula. Always fill the humidifier with medical-grade distilled water to avoid chemical reactions, as oxygen is highly reactive. Replace the nasal cannula every 2 months or sooner if discoloration appears. Also, regularly clean or replace the primary filter and HEPA filter to ensure optimal performance.
