With the gradual attention to health awareness and the continuous progress of oxygen concentrator technology, household oxygen concentrator also began to enter the vision of ordinary families. For the health of the family, especially the health of the elderly, buying a household oxygen concentrator can be said to be prepared. Just looking at the quality of oxygen concentrator on the market, which brand of oxygen concentrator is better, What model do you choose? Let’s talk about it briefly.

There are many brands of household oxygen concentrator, with various types of models, and the price is naturally different. Therefore, when choosing products, we can try our best to choose a product with higher cost performance on the premise of our own oxygen therapy needs.

How do we choose?

The choice of household oxygen concentrator mainly depends on the treatment effect, that is, whether the flow of the product is appropriate and whether the output pressure is sufficient:

1. Products with large enough flow can have sufficient oxygen flow and more significant oxygen therapy effect. Some consumers prefer small-sized oxygen concentrator products, but the compressor power of this kind of oxygen concentrator is small. Only models close to square and large volume can accommodate large displacement compressors. Moreover, due to technical limitations, electronic equipment is usually accompanied by heat dissipation problems. Due to the limited heat dissipation area of the oxygen concentrator with small body, the service life of the oxygen concentrator is greatly shortened. In terms of cost performance, the oxygen concentrator with large body has stable performance and good heat dissipation function. Only in this way can we ensure that the domestic oxygen concentrator can work for a long time and provide stable oxygen concentration.

2. The output pressure of hospital oxygen therapy is generally 80-100kpa. The output pressure of most oxygen concentrator in the market can reach about 30-45kpa, while the output pressure of our folohr oxygen concentrator can reach 60kpa.

What type of oxygen concentrator should be selected, that is, how many liters of oxygen concentrator should be selected?

The oxygen concentrator machines on the market are probably 3l, 5L machines are more, and 1L and 2L oxygen concentrator machines are basically health care machines, which generally can not achieve any curative effect.

Therefore, before selecting the model of oxygen concentrator, you can check the blood oxygen saturation of the elderly. Generally, if the blood oxygen saturation is more than 90%, 3L oxygen concentratorcan be used. If the blood oxygen saturation is less than 90%, 5L oxygen concentrator should be equipped. In addition, the best way to detect the blood oxygen saturation is to take the exercise type as the standard, that is, let the elderly walk 30-50 meters, Or go up 1-2 stairs and then measure the blood oxygen saturation, which is more accurate, because under the state of rest, the blood oxygen saturation may reach more than 95%, which is inaccurate.

Generally speaking, medical grade oxygen concentrator are models with oxygen flow of 3L or above and oxygen concentration of more than 90%. When choosing a household oxygen concentratorfor the elderly, priority should be given to the medical grade oxygen concentrator with sufficient flow. Check the output pressure of the product. On the basis of meeting the demand of oxygen therapy, in addition, appropriate consideration can be given to the machine with less noise, which should not exceed 45dB. The elderly will not affect their rest when they use it at night.

To sum up, the following points can be followed when purchasing household oxygen concentrator for the elderly: the oxygen flow is sufficient, the output pressure is suitable, the oxygen concentration is high and stable, the body is large, the displacement is large, the noise is low, and the medical grade oxygen concentrator can work continuously for 24 hours.
