What is an Oxygen Concentrator and What Does It Do?
An oxygen concentrator is a medical machine that separates the oxygen from the air and delivers it to a patient. It is used to treat people with low blood oxygen levels, also known as hypoxemia. We offer Oxygen concentrators for sale in both portable and stationary models.
Types of Oxygen Concentrators
There are two main types of oxygen concentrators: stationary and portable.
Stationary oxygen concentrators are designed to be used in one place, such as in the home or in a hospital as they are larger and more powerful than portable oxygen concentrators.
Portable oxygen concentrators are designed to be moved around, such as when traveling or going out. They are normally smaller and lighter than stationary oxygen concentrators.
Here are some of the factors to consider when you want to purchase an oxygen machine:
- Your specific medical requirements: The type of oxygen concentrator that is appropriate for you will be determined by the specific requirements of your medical condition. If you want a significant quantity of oxygen at one time, you will require a concentrator that is both more robust and substantial in size.
- Your way of life: You will require a portable oxygen concentrator if you have a lifestyle that requires you to move about a lot.
- Consider your financial constraints: the cost of an oxygen concentrator can range anywhere from a few thousand to several thousand rand.
If you are considering using an oxygen concentrator, it is important to discuss it thoroughly with your medical team. They can help you choose and buy the right concentrator for your needs and lifestyle.
How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?
In short, an oxygen concentrator works by taking in air from the surrounding environment and passing it through a series of filters. The filters remove the nitrogen and other gases from the air, leaving behind the oxygen. The oxygen is then concentrated and delivered to the patient through a nasal cannula or face mask.
The oxygen concentrator has two main components:
- A compressor: This is the part of the concentrator that draws in air from the surrounding environment.
- A sieve bed: This is the part of the concentrator that removes the nitrogen and other gases from the air.
The compressor draws in air from the surrounding environment and passes it through the sieve bed. The sieve bed is made of a material called zeolite, which has tiny pores that allow oxygen molecules to pass through, but not nitrogen molecules. The nitrogen molecules are trapped in the sieve bed and the oxygen molecules are released into the airstream.
How Is Oxygen Delivered with Oxygen Machines
Oxygen can be delivered to the patient in need through a variety of devices.
Depending on the circumstances and the condition of the patient, any of the following would be used:
Oxygen Delivery Method | Description | Oxygen Flow Level |
---|---|---|
Nasal Cannula | A small tube placed in the nostrils, delivering a steady flow of oxygen. | Low flow |
Oxygen Face Mask | A clear mask covering the nose and mouth, providing a higher flow of oxygen than a nasal cannula. | Higher flow |
Tracheostomy Tube | A tube inserted directly into the trachea (windpipe), delivering oxygen directly to the lungs. | High flow |
Oxygen Tent | A clear plastic tent that surrounds the patient, delivering oxygen to the entire body. | High flow |
The doctor or medical team will decide which type of device should be used as it will depend on the patient’s needs and the severity of his or her condition.
What Are the Benefits
- Unlike cylinders, oxygen concentrators don’t run out, ensuring a continuous oxygen flow.
- Portable units are lightweight and designed for active lifestyles, allowing you to travel without the burden of heavy tanks.
- With built-in safety features and easy-to-follow manufacturer instructions, these devices help you maintain your oxygen levels reliably.
Who May Need an Oxygen Concentrator
Stationary oxygen concentrators are larger, designed for continuous use at home or in clinical settings, while portable oxygen machines are compact and battery-operated, making them perfect for travel and everyday mobility.
People who may need an oxygen concentrator include:
- People with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- People with asthma
- People with heart failure
- People with pneumonia
- People with sleep apnea
- People who have had surgery
- People who find themselves at very high altitudes
Guidelines for Safe Oxygen Concentrator Use
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, ensure the device is in a well-ventilated area, and avoid any open flames nearby. Regular cleaning of the filters and inspection for leaks will help maintain performance and extend the lifespan of your concentrator.
Here are some guidelines on how to safely use oxygen machines:
- Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Keep and use the oxygen concentrator in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not smoke or use any other open flames near the oxygen concentrator.
- Keep the oxygen concentrator away from heat sources.
- Do not use the oxygen concentrator if it is damaged.
- Regularly inspect the oxygen concentrator for leaks.
How Do I Choose An Oxygen Concentrator?
Consider your specific medical needs, daily activity levels, and travel plans. For home use, a stationary concentrator may be ideal; if you’re often on the move, a portable oxygen machine with long battery life and multiple flow settings is recommended. Discuss these factors with your healthcare provider to determine the best option.
Where Can I Find Affordable Oxygen Concentrators?
If you want to purchase an oxygen machine, it is important to compare prices from different suppliers. You may also want to consider renting an oxygen machine instead of buying one.
Here are some tips for finding affordable oxygen machines in South Africa:
- Compare prices from different suppliers.

There are a few factors that contribute to the high cost of oxygen machines, like the cost of imported parts and components and the fact that many oxygen machines are imported from overseas.
Oxygen machines are complex devices that require specialized manufacturing techniques and they are also regulated by the South African government, which adds to the cost.
