Introduction
Youroxygenconcentratorisintendedforindividualuse.Itis
anelectronicallyoperateddevicethatseparatesoxygenfrom
roomair.Itprovideshighconcentrationofoxygendirectlyto
youthroughanasalcannula.Clinicalstudieshave
documentedthatoxygenconcentratorsaretherapeutically
equivalenttoothertypesofoxygendeliverysystems.
Yourproviderwillshowyouhowtouseyouroxygen
concentrator.He/Sheshouldbecontactedwithanyquestions
