What safety precautions should be taken when using an oxygen concentrator?

Oxygen ConcentratorAs the name suggests, it is a machine that produces oxygen. Its principle is to use air separation technology. Using the adsorption characteristics and physical principles of molecular sieves, a large-displacement oil-free compressor separates nitrogen and oxygen in the air to obtain high-concentration oxygen. This type of oxygen concentrator produces oxygen quickly and has a high oxygen concentration, suitable for oxygen therapy for various groups of people.

Oxygen ConcentratorIts characteristic is that direct oxygen inhalation increases arterial blood oxygen content, while low-flow oxygen therapy and oxygen health care are fast and beneficial without special guidance. Oxygen therapy has the effect of promptly alleviating hypoxic symptoms and a gradual effect on eliminating the cause of hypoxia. Oxygen therapy is the main means of correcting physiological and environmental hypoxia and preventing diseases caused by environmental hypoxia.

Before using an oxygen concentrator, we should understand its hazardous properties. The oxygen content in a certain area around us is much higher than that in the air. The higher the oxygen concentration, the lower the ignition point of combustible substances. Generally speaking, this situation makes it easier to catch fire, which is the danger of an oxygen concentrator.

　 Any item's use may involve risks. Under normal use, selecting a formally registered product can reduce hidden dangers to an acceptable level. Under the premise of choosing a formal product, we should also pay attention to the following points when using an oxygen concentrator:

  1、When using an oxygen generator, stay away from fire sources and flammable materials. It is generally recommended to stay at least 1.6m away from fire sources and flammable materials.

  2、Since the oxygen of the oxygen concentrator comes from the air, when we useOxygen Concentratorit, the air intake of the oxygen concentrator should face a relatively wide space to avoid blocking the machine's vents and facilitate better air absorption. In addition, a relatively wide usage environment can reduce the operating temperature of the oxygen concentrator and reduce the risk of fire.

  3、When using an oxygen generator, it should be used with a humidifier. Before using the humidifier, it should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and pure water or distilled water should be used as much as possible for humidification.

  4、The oxygen inhalation time for high-concentration oxygen should not be too long. Choose an oxygen concentrator with a timer function and choose intermittent oxygen inhalation to avoid oxygen poisoning.

  5、Patients with special conditions or those who are unsure how to use an oxygen concentrator should consult a professional doctor and use it under professional guidance.

  6、An oxygen generator cannot immediately reach a concentration of 93% after startup. Oxygen inhalation should be avoided immediately after startup. Oxygen inhalation should generally be carried out after the machine has been running for more than 15 minutes to allow the machine and oxygen concentration to stabilize.

HouseholdOxygen ConcentratorHow should it be maintained daily? The maintenance method of the oxygen concentrator is not difficult; you only need to remember the following three points:

1、Regularly check the humidifier tank of the small household oxygen concentrator and pay attention to cleaning the dirt inside the humidifier tank.

2、When the oxygen concentrator is not used for a long time, it should be run for fifteen minutes at intervals, especially in humid southern areas. 3、Regularly check the air filter. If the filter is moldy or contains a large amount of impurities, it should be replaced.
