5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator Machines

How Does A 5-Liter Oxygen Concentrator Work?

A 5 liter oxygen concentrator uses the ambient air and filters it so that supplemental oxygen can be provided to the patient, up to 5 liters per minute (LPM). This type of oxygen concentrator is usually designed in a compact size and is suitable for oxygen patients with mild and moderate respiratory conditions. Because of its smaller size, oxygen patients can easily transport this device. 

How Long Does An Oxygen Concentrator 5 Liter Last?

5 liter machines have an average lifespan of 4-7 years, or longer if the patient properly cares for and maintains their device. Please note, that in addition to proper care, the lifespan of oxygen concentrators can vary based on the individual user, including usage and environmental factors like dust, heat, and humidity. 

Is 5 Liters Of Oxygen A Lot?

If your respiratory condition is considered mild-moderate, a 5 liter machine should suit you and is not considered a lot, as there are devices that can deliver higher oxygen outputs, up to 10 LPM. Your doctor will prescribe you the best flow rate that suits your needs. 

Who Can Benefit From A 5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator?

Individuals who have mild to moderate cases of COPD or other chronic lung disorders will benefit from 5 liter oxygen concentrators to help them get the supplemental oxygen they need to breathe better and continue living an active life. 

How To Clean And Maintain A 5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator?

Proper maintenance and care will ensure you are receiving the best supplemental oxygen. To start, always unplug the device from a wall outlet if it operates from a socket. Then, wipe down the outside of your oxygen concentrator with a damp soapy cloth and warm water. Rinse your device with a damp cloth and clean water. Check the air vents for dust and debris.
