Operator Profile
Concentrators are intended to supply supplemental
oxygen to users suffering from discomfort due to
ailments which effect the efficiency of ones lungs
to transfer oxygen in the air to their bloodstream.
Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) do not
store or contain oxygen. They do not need to be
refilled, and can recharge anywhere AC or DC
power is available. This makes the user relatively
self-sufficient in terms of in-home use, ambulation
(both within and outside of the home), mobility,
and overall lifestyle. Oxygen concentrator use
requires a physician’s prescription and is not
intended for life support use.
Although oxygen therapy can be prescribed for
users of all ages, the typical oxygen therapy user
is older than 65 years of age and suffers from a
variety of respiratory diseases, including Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Users
typically have good cognitive abilities and must
be able to communicate discomfort. If the user
is unable to communicate discomfort, or unable
to read and understand the concentrator labeling
and instructions for use, then use is recommended
only under the supervision of one who can. If any
discomfort is felt while using the concentrator,
users are advised to contact their healthcare
provider. Users are also advised to have back-up
oxygen available (i.e. cylinder oxygen) in the event
of a power outage or concentrator failure. There
are no other unique skills or user abilities required
for concentrator use.
