There are many differences between medical oxygen concentrators and household oxygen concentrators. Their efficacy and applicable groups are different. Let Zhejiang Weijian Medical Technology Co., Ltd introduces the difference between the medical oxygen generator and the household oxygen generator.
General household oxygen generators can only be used for daily health care and oxygen therapy because of the low oxygen concentration; while medical oxygen generators can be used for daily medical health care, especially for the old people and patients at home. Therefore, it is generally recommended to purchase a medical oxygen concentrator directly when using it at home.
In simple terms, an oxygen concentrator with an oxygen concentration about more than 90% can be called a medical oxygen concentrator, but the oxygen concentration of 90% here refers to the maximum flow rate, such as the 3L flow rate or 5L flow rate in a 5L oxygen concentrator.
Although some oxygen generators said they can reach at 90% oxygen concentration, there are some differences. For example, the best-selling health care oxygen generator has an oxygen concentration of 30%-90% and a maximum flow of 6 liters. But their oxygen concentration can only reach at 90% on 1L flow. As the flow rate increases, the oxygen concentration also decreases. When the flow rate is 6 liters/min, the oxygen concentration is only 30%, which is far away from the 90% oxygen concentration.
It should be reminded here that the oxygen concentration of the medical oxygen concentrator is not adjustable. For example, the oxygen concentration of a medical oxygen concentrator is 90% constant, no matter what the oxygen flow is, the oxygen concentration of an oxygen concentrator will stable at 90%; while the oxygen concentration of a household oxygen concentrator will change with the flow, for example, the oxygen concentration of the household oxygen generator will decrease when the oxygen flow is rising.
