Rating of the best oxygen concentrators for 2022

Oxygen concentrators are designed for a wide range of applications, from saturating the body of a healthy person with oxygen to providing urgent medical care for certain diseases. It is very important to know what types of concentrates are, what function they perform and how to choose the right one for the price and functionality. In the article, we will consider which one is better to buy in certain cases, how much this or that model costs, where it is more profitable to buy.

Description

An oxygen concentrator is an apparatus for separating pure oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere using a “molecular sieve”. Detailed instructions are attached to each model, you can work with the device only according to its description, the features of individual models have extended functionality.

Principle of operation

The device consists of two cylinders, air enters the cylinders and passes through the “molecular sieve” (a network of zeolite balls), as a result, oxygen is obtained at the outlet up to 95% concentration. The cylinders work in turn, one cleans the oxygen, the second at this time converts the air mixture into oxygen. This ensures uninterrupted operation when oxygen is supplied.

Scope of application

The scope is quite extensive. First of all, such devices are necessary for emergency care, as well as for people with diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Such a disease (disease) requires immediate assistance in an attack.

The use of such a concentrate can improve the condition of bronchial asthma, heart and lung failure and relieve hypoxia. It is also used for the prevention of oxygen therapy.

For healthy people, the device also benefits. In modern life in megacities there is a lack of oxygen. Therefore, in order to saturate the body with pure oxygen and for the normal functioning of all organs, it is necessary to do inhalations or take oxygen cocktails.

Concentrators help to cope with such ailments as: insomnia, fatigue and dizziness. You can get advice on how to use it in each case from your doctor.With the help of a concentrator, you can make a homemade oxygen cocktail with your own hands (how to do it is described step by step in the attached instructions) or use the device as an inhaler.

Types of concentrators:

1. Medical. Used in reanimobiles, hospitals and sanatoriums. They have a high rate of oxygen supply, while they are quite overall. Delivery is carried out up to 15 liters per minute.
2. Universal. Produce up to 5 liters per minute. Can be used both at home and in institutions. Used for prevention and for therapeutic purposes.
3. Household (for home use). They differ in low productivity (up to 3 liters per minute). They are compact enough to be carried anywhere. They have a modern design. With their help, you can prepare oxygen cocktails and carry out inhalations. At home, you can make your own cocktails, and thereby improve your health and fight infections.

Terms of Use

• Do not use near open and closed sources of fire (battery, stove, lighter). It must be remembered that oxygen is an explosive gas, and its proper use can protect you and your loved ones from irreparable consequences;
• the distance from walls and furniture should not be less than 30 cm, in order to ensure optimal air intake and airflow of the device;
• when inhaled, the use of a humidifier, which is included in the package, is mandatory;
• all removable parts must be applied individually, and be treated with a disinfectant solution after each use;
• it is necessary to carry out timely cleaning of the device and its removable parts, depending on the recommendation specified in the instructions for use;
• when operating, you must strictly follow the instructions. Not all parts are highly maintainable. If used incorrectly, parts may break. Some of the breakage will have to be replaced with new ones, which will lead to additional costs.

Criterias of choice

Let's analyze what to look for in order to avoid mistakes when choosing:

1. Performance. If you take only for home use, up to 3 liters will be enough. Larger applications require more performance.
2. Saturation of the stream. The difference ranges from 85 to 95%. The lower this figure, the cheaper the device will cost.
3. Producing country. The best manufacturers of such devices are the USA and Germany. They have the most reliable, but also the most expensive models. Although, Chinese manufacturers are also not inferior in quality of work, but they win in the price range.
4. Functional. Models with the function of using for ventilation, making an oxygen cocktail and inhalation will cost much more than conventional devices.
5. Continuous work. An important indicator for portable devices. The longer the device can work without recharging, the calmer you will feel when leaving home and taking such a device with you.
6. Compactness and weight. Important for portable hubs, for ease of carrying over distances. The heavier and larger the device, the more problematic it will be to carry and take with you. For hospitals and medical institutions, this indicator is not so important.
7. Quality certificate. Certified products are safe to use.That is why it is important to ask for a certificate when buying. Even if you are going to order online in an online store, ask for a photo of the certificate and a photo of the device. In order not to be disappointed upon receipt.
8. Price. Novelties on the market and popular models are not always the most inexpensive. The popularity of models may depend on the brand of the company or on the promotion, such models are not always fundamentally different from the rest. Even budget devices are able to perform their function at a high level. Therefore, which company is better to purchase, you need to choose based on the specific case, for what reason this device is purchased.
