How do you maintain an oxygen concentrator and what supplies do you need?

How to do daily maintenance of home oxygen concentrator? I believe in the purchase of the time guide must have taught, but a long time some people may forget, if you want to extend the life of the home oxygen concentrator, daily maintenance is essential.

1. Daily maintenance of oxygen tubing

The nasal suction tip on the oxygen tubing is the most easily soiled, and it is recommended that it be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned by wiping with alcohol or soaking in 5% potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes and then washing with water, which is very simple. Oxygen tubing can be cleaned once or twice a week, and care should be taken to keep the inside of the tube dry and free of water droplets.

2. Daily maintenance of humidification bottle

Because the humidification bottle is filled with water, there will be a layer of dirt after a long time, you can drop into the vinegar deep liquid soak for a few minutes, then rinse clean. One to two times a week to ensure the oxygen hygiene. The core tube in the bottle and its cartridge at the bottom, rinse it well and check if it is properly installed. Replace the water in the humidification bottle every day, usually using cold and happy or distilled water.

3. Daily maintenance of the filter

The life of the home oxygen concentrator and the filter is very close, timely cleaning or replacement of the filter, not only can extend the life of the oxygen concentrator, but also protect the molecular sieve and compressor. So when you buy an oxygen concentrator, it's best to choose the kind of external filter, so as to facilitate the cleaning.

Note: The cleaned filter must be dry before installing, do not turn on the oxygen concentrator without installing the filter. If the filter cartridge is blackened, it should be replaced regardless of the length of time it has been used.

Oxygen concentrator is a kind of machine to produce oxygen, its principle is to use air separation technology. First of all, the air to high-density compression and then the use of air in the condensation point of each component of the different so that the gas-liquid separation at a certain temperature, and then further distillation and get.

It is characterized by the oxygen absorption directly to improve the arterial blood oxygen content, rather than acting on a part of the body indirectly to improve the lack of oxygen, but only in the increase in the body has been continuously ingesting oxygen since the birth of the body. There are no substances that are unfamiliar to the organism, that need to be adapted to, or that need to be analyzed, thus only improving rather than changing the natural physiological state and biochemical environment of the organism. Low-flow oxygen therapy and oxygen health care without special instruction effect quickly and surely beneficial and harmless, oxygen therapy has the effect of timely relief of symptoms of hypoxia, but for the elimination of causes leading to hypoxia is only partial and gradual effect.
