Oxygen concentrator at home

2021-05-12 14:52:37
I am planning to buy oxygen concentrator for home use in case of emergencies. So what will be the ideal capacity of the oxygen concentrator to look at considering the pandemic situation? 5 ltr or 10 ltr capacity? Also a stationed concentrator will be good or portable one?

More than the capacity it is important to look at the percentage of oxygen it can deliver at high quantity. Generally These concentrators can only supple 20-30% oxygen at 4-5 litre or more per min, that would not be of any use. For full guidance, prescription and follow up take a paid consultation. You can even consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
