Choosing oxygen concentrators

In short

An oxygen concentrator, sometimes called an oxygen machine, draws in room air and delivers concentrated oxygen through a nasal cannula. Floor units suit long hours at home, while a portable oxygen concentrator suits outings and travel. The main thing to check is that the unit can deliver the flow type and setting on your prescription.

How to choose oxygen concentrators

Questions about oxygen concentrators

What is the difference between a portable and a home oxygen concentrator?

A home oxygen concentrator plugs into a power point, stays in one place and usually gives a continuous flow. A portable oxygen concentrator is smaller and runs on a battery. It usually delivers oxygen in pulses as you breathe in. Many people use a home unit indoors and a portable unit when out, as their prescription allows.

Do I need a prescription for an oxygen concentrator?

Oxygen should only be used as prescribed by a doctor or respiratory specialist. The prescription sets the flow rate, the type of flow and how many hours a day to use it. Check that the concentrator can deliver that setting, and keep the prescription details handy when you ask for a quote.

Can you take a portable oxygen concentrator on a plane?

Many airlines allow approved portable oxygen concentrators on board, but each airline sets its own rules. Contact the airline well before you fly. Airlines may ask for a form from your doctor and more battery power than the flight itself needs, to cover delays. Check that your model, for example an Inogen Rove 6 or Rove 4, is on the airline’s approved list.

What is the difference between pulse flow and continuous flow oxygen?

Continuous flow delivers oxygen at a steady rate, whether you are breathing in or out. Pulse flow releases a burst of oxygen each time you breathe in, which helps a portable unit’s battery last longer. Pulse flow does not suit everyone, especially during sleep, so your doctor or respiratory team should confirm which type you need.
