An Oxygen Concentrator is a medical device that provides supplemental oxygen to people who have low oxygen levels in their blood.
How It Works
An oxygen concentrator:
1. Takes in room air (which contains 21% oxygen).
2. Filters out nitrogen using special filters (called molecular sieves).
3. Delivers concentrated oxygen (90–96%) through a nasal cannula or mask.
Key Features
Continuous oxygen supply — no need to refill like cylinders.
Adjustable flow rate — usually 1–5 LPM or 1–10 LPM depending on the model.
Runs on electricity (some have battery options like portable concentrators).
Safe & easy to operate for home use.
