5.1 Introduction
Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use indoors. It is an electronically operated device that
separates oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen directly to you through a nasal cannula.
Clinical studies have documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically equivalent to other types of
oxygen delivery systems.
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any
