Airsep new life intensity 10 for my wife I am planning to buy. Before that I need clarification whether this machine with 20 psi outflow pressure will be for ILD PATIENT. SHE IS USING PHILIPS EVERFLOW RESPIRONICS 5 LITERS 2 MACHINES JOINED WITH Y JUNCTION TO GET 10 LITERS OUTPUT BUT IT HAS LOW PRESSURE OF 5PSI. SO 20 PSI OUT FLOW PRESSURE FROM ASPIRE INTENSITY MACHINE WILL OK OR NOT. WE ARE USING HUMIDIFIERS AND A MASK. SOMETIMES CANOLA.

Hi Viswanatham, the Airsep intensity 10 will be much better than any two 5 LPM concentrator combined due to its high psi.

Hi, we are currently in need of your parts of Airsep Oxygen Generator. My question do you have an agen in Indonesia? or should we ask for a quotation from India?

Hi Mauriel, Oxygen times is an informational website where we provided reviews and comparison of different oxygen concentrator. We don't sell oxygen concentrators.

My concentrator also has white powder coming from somewhere, it's on the floor on the black filter, the cord and inside the machine, what is the powder and will it harm a person, I have a headache and am stating at 87 on 2 liters and a pulse rate of 120. My normal is 96 (02) 86 (pulse) I am worried the white will reduce my FEVl etc. and my health period

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2017-05-22 at 23:41:42

Hi Margaret, the white powder is coming from the sieve beds. You will have to take the oxygen concentrator to your equipment provider to get the sieve beds checked. Most likely, they will be replaced.

Which portable battery operated oxygen concentrator should I buy for my father for air travel. He is COPD patient using continuous flow Airsep Visionare upto 5LPM at home.

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-12-28 at 22:20:12

Hi Javed, this link has the list of all FAA approved portable oxygen concentrators. If your father is already using AirSep VisionAire, then AirSep Freestyle 5 would be a good option to choose. If his requirement is less than 3 LPM, then you can go for Freestyle 3 POC.

I wish to buy a Philips Respironics Everflo for my mother. Can it be used 24X7 continuously without rest? Thanks.

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-10-04 at 01:31:59

Yes you can use it 24x7. But it is recommended to give your machine rest of about 20-30 minutes after every 8 hours of use.

Oxygen Times

Hi Ricardo, Philips Everflo is a good stationary oxygen concentrator. Its oxygen purity is normally 90-95%.

We purchased the newest Inogen one - G4 model 2 weeks ago. I was concerned that there might be issues with a brand new product , but the size and light weight makes it much easier for my husband to get around. Within the first week- 2 machines gave us a "system error" message which indicates machine is totally not producing oxygen. We are currently on the third machine which yesterday, after 2-3 days of use gave us a "system hot" high priority message. After 1/2 hour my husband turned it back on and it was working- which is exactly what happened with the first machine after 3 days, until it gave us "system error" message 2 days later. I really do not know what we should do at this point. The G4 with all its advantages seems to have some major design flaw. One of the several Inogen people on the 24 hour hot line admitted that they had been receiving numerous complaints about "system hot" messages on the G4. My husband is at a 2 lpm pulse dose , but we need a machine that we can rely on. Should we opt instead for the Inogen 3, despite the fact that it is twice as heavy, or stay with the G4 and expect that Inogen will work out the design flaw ASAP. We purchased the machine with a lifetime warrantee. But, as you can imagine , the last thing we want is to have an unreliable piece of life support equipment and to be waiting for UPS to arrive every few days with a new machine. I would greatly appreciate your advice and suggestions on this matter.

You can try AirSep Freestyle 3. It is in market for quite some time now and its users seem to be happy with the machine.

My mother retains CO2 and needs to set O2 flow to maintain PaO2 between 88 and 92 and not greater. Her flow rate is between 1-2lpm and when close to 1 her current concentrator alarms for ? low flow. Are there any which will deliver less than 1lpm?

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-08-29 at 00:17:38

Hi Rhoda, we never came across any concentrator that delivers less than 1 LPM oxygen. May be a paediatric flowmeter would work for her.

Hi, what do you recommend me to check at the minimum if I go for a used O2 concentrator?

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-08-10 at 01:48:44

Hi Arnab, firstly, make sure the machine is not giving any visual or audible alarms. Secondly, try to get a purity check using oxygen analyser from a service centre. We have a pre-delivery inspection checklist which people use before buying a new oxygen concentrator, some points can be useful for you too.

We need an OC for my father with the flow requirement of 2-3 LPM. Should we buy a machine of upto 3 LPM machine (e.g. Philips K3B) or should go for 5 LPM machine.

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-05-12 at 04:20:49

Hi Varun, you can definitely go for Philips K3B but we would strongly recommend you to buy a 5LPM concentrator so that if the oxygen requirement increases in future you dont have to buy a new one.

Hello Mr Mittal, 5 LPM machine is recommended, you can get from us being the distributor of Philips at a very reasonable rates.

My baby was born in 6.5 month, he is in nursery for past 2.5 months, his oxygen problem is not solving. Now doctors want to leave him but are suggesting to buy an oxygen concentrator. So what type of concentrator should I buy - continuous or pulse and if pulse then of what LPM?

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-03-30 at 03:45:51

Hi Anjali, you can go for a continuous flow oxygen concentrator which provides oxygen less than or equal to 5LPM. Consult your doctor to know about your baby's oxygen requirement in LPM. The requirement should be less than 1 LPM for such a small baby and there are special flow meters for neonates that can be used to deliver flow less than 1 LPM.

Which is better Philips everflo or devbliss . Also does the difference in psi matter ?

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-02-14 at 05:12:44

Hi Tara, as per our ratings for 2015, DeVilbiss is slightly higher in rank as compared to Philips Respironics Everflo. Even though output pressure does not make much of a difference in most cases, it is helpful when a person needs a strong throw of oxygen to reach deep inside the lungs like in case of ILD. Also, higher pressure helps in sustaining a good throw of oxygen when using longer oxygen tubes or when tubes have kinks in them.

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2016-01-19 at 23:27:23

Hi Teresa, Philips Respironics Everflo is a reliable machine. If you feel you are not getting sufficient oxygen then either your oxygen requirement has increased or your machine requires a service. Contact your physician 1^st and then the equipment provider. Also check if you are getting any alarms in the machine. Hope this helps.

Need a small battery powered oxygen concentrator which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Already have an excellent philips plug in for home use, perhaps three or four times a day. Need the small one for occasional travel.

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2015-10-06 at 10:19:44

Hi Christina, Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs) are mainly of 2 types:
1. Pulse Flow Only
2. Pulse and Continuous Flow
The Pulse flow POCs are quite reasonable in price and may fulfill your oxygen requirement if you don't use it during sleep or with a PAP device. Some of the popular Pulse flow POCs are: AirSep Freestyle, AirSep Focus, Inogen One G2, Inogen One G3 and Invacare XPO2. Hope this helps.

I have to purchase an oxygen concentrator for my father. He has been prescribed oxygen at 4 LPM continuous for 24x7. Which home or portable oxygen concentrator will suit him the best? Also, what is the annual maintenance for these oxygen concentrators?

Oxygen Times

Replied on: 2015-04-30 at 07:12:52

Hi Jeremy, the flow prescribed to your father can only be delivered through a home oxygen concentrator as there is no portable oxygen concentrator in the market that provides 4 LPM continuous flow.

You require a 5 LPM machine to fulfill his flow requirements. Some of the most common 5 LPM Oxygen Concentrators in market are:

AirSep VisionAire 5
Invacare Perfect O₂ V
Philips Respironics Everflo

As far as maintenance is concerned, the external dust filter needs to be washed once a week and internal filter should be replaced as per the instructions by the manufacturer which is usually 6 months or 1500 hours of use. For more details on maintenance, read How to Maintain an Oxygen Concentrator?
