Oxymed P2 Portable Oxygen Concentrator - A Review

For those managing respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, supplemental oxygen therapy is vital. Doctors often recommend oxygen concentrators, and when it comes to portability, Oxymed is a leading brand. In this review, we'll delve into the features of the Oxymed P2 Portable oxygen concentrator, the latest in their line of portable oxygen concentrators.

Weight

Weight is one of the significant factors because if the machine is weighty, the patients will feel discomfort and breathing issues. As Oxymed P2 is a portable device, it is lightweight, and you can easily carry it to different places. In fact, it is the smallest oxygen concentrator in the market with a weight of around 1.98kg (including the battery). 

Flow Output

There are 5 levels in the pulse flow settings. If you have chosen the highest setting, the output will be 1000 ml per minute which is equivalent to 3 LPM of the continuous flow. Oxymed P2 is functional and efficient like other high-end models. 

Oxygen Purity

Oxygen concentration is another significant factor that makes a difference in the patient’s health. You can check the screen of your device to know about the purity of your oxygen. The oxygen purity level in this oxygen concentrator is 90%+/-3%.

Trigger sensitivity

The trigger sensitivity determines how the device responds to the patient’s inhalation. In case of Oxymed P2, it is 0.12 cmH2O. It is the same as what we find in Inogen One G5. 

Warm-up time

Like other devices, Oxymed P2 takes a little time to trigger the oxygen flow cycle with the right concentration. The warm-up time for this device is around 2 minutes.

Certifications

Using approved and certified medical devices is essential, and the Oxymed P2 has received certifications from the FAA, FDA, and CE. Notably, airlines only approve portable oxygen concentrators that are FAA-approved. This ensures that the Oxymed P2 meets the necessary safety standards for air travel.

Battery

The Oxymed P2's battery lasts a good amount of time, upto 10 hours (with double battery) depending on how you set it. You can easily get extra batteries without spending too much.

For trips, it's smart to have extra batteries since you can't charge during flights. It takes about 4 hours to recharge one battery, but with a little planning, you can keep things positive and have a smooth journey with the Oxymed P2.

Warranty

While Philips and Inogen provide a 2-year warranty on the main unit, Oxymed offers a warranty of 3 years. What’s more, Oxymed P2’s battery comes with a warranty of 1 year, but other brands have provided a battery warranty of only a few months. 

Oxymed provides PAN India service, so if you face any technical issues, you can call its team for a solution. It has the best service network. 

Other things included in the package of Oxymed P2

With the main Oxymed P2 unit, you will get some other items-

• Single/Double Battery (the model you have chosen)
• AC Power supply- When the battery is fully discharged, you can take advantage of AC power supply.
• DC Cable- During your car ride, you can use this cable.

• Sling bag- The shoulder bag is intended to give you convenience.
