Ranking of the best oxygen concentrators for 2024

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 in terms of 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 to buy it more profitable.

Description

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

Principle of operation

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

Scope of application

The scope is quite extensive. First of all, such devices are needed to provide emergency care, as well as for people with diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Such a disease (illness) 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. They are also used for the prevention of oxygen therapy.

The device also benefits healthy people. 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, increased fatigue and dizziness. For advice on how to use it in each case, contact 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.

Hub types:

1. Medical. They are used in intensive care vehicles, hospitals and health resorts. They have a high oxygen supply rate, while being sufficiently large. The feed is carried out up to 15 liters per minute.
2. Universal. Produce up to 5 liters per minute. They can be used both at home and in institutions. They are used for prophylaxis and medicinal purposes.
3. Household (for home use). They differ in their low productivity (up to 3 liters per minute).They are quite compact, they can be carried with you to any place. 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 allow use near open and closed sources of fire (battery, stove, lighter). It must be remembered that oxygen is an explosive gas, and its correct 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 blowing of the device;
• when inhaling, be sure to use a humidifier that is included in the package;
• all removable parts must be applied individually, and be treated with a disinfectant solution after each use;
• it is necessary to timely clean the device and its removable parts, depending on the recommendation specified in the instructions for use;
• during operation, you must strictly follow the instructions. Not all parts are highly maintainable. If used improperly, parts can break. In case of breakdown, some will have to be replaced with new ones, which will lead to additional costs.

Criterias of choice

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

1. Performance. If you take it only for home use, a capacity of up to 3 liters will be enough. Larger applications require more performance.
2. Flow saturation. The difference ranges from 85 to 95%. The lower this indicator, the cheaper the device will cost.
3. Manufacturer 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 win in the price range.
4. Functional. Models with the function of using for ventilation, making oxygen cocktails and inhalation will cost significantly 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. Essential for portable hubs for easy portability 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 request a certificate when purchasing. 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. Not to be disappointed upon receipt.
8. Price. New items on the market and popular models are not always the cheapest. The popularity of models may depend on the brand of the company or on the advertising campaign; such models are not always fundamentally different from the rest. Even budget devices are capable of performing their function at a high level. Therefore, which company is better to buy, you need to choose based on the specific case, for what reason the given device is purchased.

This is enough for the vital activity of organs, but to increase immunity or in case of certain diseases, it is necessary to help the body and increase the concentration of oxygen in the blood. It is for this that there are oxygen concentrates that have been considered.
