Choosing a Portable Oxygen Concentrator Sales or Rental Inogen Sequal Airsep EverGo XPO2

[GoSouthernMD1]

The stationary ones are used for the purpose of running 24/7 like the EVERFLO and the Invacare Perfecto and yes they go up to 5L but the POC's go to 3L only and like I have said before--we recommend that they are used for portability only. The last question is the humidifier bottle. The only POC that has one available is the Eclipse but all stationaries have them as an option. Cleaning is simple and vinegar and some sterile water or soap and water work fine.

No problem. Yes they can but we do not recommend it due to how expensive they are. This is what we have stationary ones for and at about 20% the cost of a POC. If you are traveling and you do need to run it at night due to de-saturation then the Eclipse works great but keep in mind they POC's do have a warranty and we try to limit the amount of use as a suggestion. It makes no sense if you use it as your everyday concentrator AND your portable.

hi Robert, thank you for explaining how these portable concentrators work. can these machines run for 24hrs (plugged)? i'm worried that they might overheat. my aunt currently use a big 5 liter machine. which if i may ask, do you know how to clean/sterilize the humidifier bottle? not sure if vinegar and water will do. please help. thank you.

I want to specify one more time which I have said in trade magazines and in person. Suppliers/Manufacturers of Portable Oxygen Concentrators have done a brilliant job of both having it look like more 02 then what it really seems. They have 5 and 6 settings but in actual it is .5L per 1 setting. This is extremely important. SO, you really get 2.5L at 5 settings. People think they are getting 1L per setting. This is frustrating for me to explain.

I do like the Inogen G2 but it is only for a select few. If your doctor says that you need a portable over 3L per minute there is nothing out there at this time that can help. Regardless of what you say, you are wrong and I will not but peoples lives in jeopardy just to sell a machine. Thanks for the comment and appreciate it and I hope I set the record straight. I am sorry that you were misinformed.

When I tested him using a very high end Pulse Oximeter by Maxtec, I was able to get him to 88% at the highest setting via Inogen and 94% via the Eclipse.

So, when I speak factually, I make damn sure that I understand what I am talking about based on peoples lives are in my hands. It is suppliers that only care about selling machines while I am stating facts.

This is why it does a pulse dose because it only gives it to you when you breath in. But it is not perfect. It cannot time it perfect. If you put yourself on a Continuous flow Portable unit like the Eclipse and crank it up to full capacity or 3L per minute and compare it to the Inogen at 3L or 5th setting there will be a huge difference when get a person that has lets say COPD at saturates at 82% out of the house.

[GoSouthernMD1]

Right now the G2 is about as perfect of a PULSE DOSE unit that can be found BUT it is a PULSE DOSE. There is no machine under the POC(Portable Oxygen Concentrator) that can go OVER 3L per minute. This is a fact. Because the POC has an internal compressor that separates the O2 and Nitrogen and the sieve bed concentrates the 21% purity and converts it to over 90% medical grade O2. Right now the compressor is too small to create over 3L per minute.

I was the first one to sell this product 10 years ago in Arizona and New Mexico via the first generation and now the Inogen is in its third generation or called the G2 and has gone through MANY change s.

That inogen goes up to 5LPM @750 ml and keeps you just as sat as continuous flow, this video is bias and not accurate =(

This is precisely why I started this company 6 years ago--to help people. It is inaccurate comments like this that really frustrate me and lives are on the line. Manufacturers like the Inogen does things to MAKE it look like something that it is not. It is smoke and mirrors and great marketing.
