Portable Oxygen Concentrators Have
Finally Come Down in Size and Price!

Compared to cylindular tanks or liquid oxygen, the safest and  most cost effective option for people coping with COPD has been an oxygen concentrator.  Unlike the latest portable oxygen concentrators, early concentrator models were about the size of a large garbage can, weighed nearly one hundred pounds and emitted a continuous "groan" that could be heard throughout the home. The patient was given a canula essentially, a long hose that would allow limited mobility up to 100 feet from the machine, allowing just enough hose for an individual to move from room to room. The "continuous" supply of medical grade oxygen created by these older machines would fluctuate in a cycle of high and low pressure. Despite the drawbacks, for many people, the oxygen concentrator has been the medical device of choice due to its level of safety when compared to other means of storing or dispensing pure oxygen.

To the relief of many, in the last few years, a revolutionary new category of portable oxygen concentrator devices has emerged in the marketplace.  Two American companies on the forefront of portable oxygen systems are SeQual Technologies and Inogen, Inc. The portable oxygen concentrator (also called POC) developed by both of these companies are small and light enough to be carried or pulled on a cart much like oxygen cylinders of the past... except these POCs are safe and small enough to use comfortably on a commercial airplane, in your car while driving, at restaurants and just about anywhere.

Introducing the SeQual Eclipse II Portable Oxygen Concentrator.

This portable oxygen concentrator provides a superior experience to the oxygen user compared to older oxygen technologies.  The perfect companion for travel or home, the Eclipse II is extremely quiet and intelligent.  This POC achieves quiet, smooth running operation by using 6 small rotating oxygen cylinders inside instead of the 2 large rotating cylinders typically used by traditional oxygen concentrators.  The Eclipse II has 200 fewer moving parts, which equates to a lighter, more efficient, more reliable device.  Capable of both pulse dose and continuous flow, this machine can sense when breathing patterns change and unlike many other oxygen devices, the Eclipse has the power to keep up in stressful situations of rapid breathing.

Introducing the Inogen One Portable Oxygen Concentrator.

The smallest, lightest POC available.  The 7 pound, Inogen One comes with a carry bag allowing the oxygen user to wear his or her oxygen device like a woman's purse or a man's mail carrier bag often worn by businessmen as an alternative to the handheld briefcase.  In addition, this unit also comes with a pull out handle and wheels so it can be pulled like a hand cart.  Like the SeQual Eclipse II, the Inogen One can be used on the go, in your car, on commercial airlines, cruises, site seeing in the city, strolling in the park, etc.  Either Inogen or Eclipse can run off the battery, plug into a car cigarette lighter, or simply plug into a standard electrical outlet.
