Portable Oxygen Concentrators

A portable oxygen concentrator is a lightweight oxygen machine designed to help people receive supplemental oxygen while they are away from home. Unlike traditional oxygen tanks, a portable oxygen concentrator pulls in surrounding air, filters it, and delivers concentrated oxygen through a nasal cannula.

Some portable oxygen concentrators provide continuous flow, but many models provide pulse dose oxygen only. Pulse dose machines deliver oxygen when you breathe in, while continuous flow machines deliver oxygen at a steady rate. The right option depends on your oxygen prescription, activity level, and breathing needs.

For long travel days or appointments, many users keep an extra battery or charger available.

Some portable oxygen concentrators may be appropriate for nighttime use, but not every model is designed for sleeping. If you need oxygen while sleeping, speak with your doctor or oxygen provider to make sure the machine, flow type, and settings match your prescription.
