Problems to be noted when the elderly choose an oxygen generator.

Home oxygen generators can be divided into two categories. One is suitable for home oxygen therapy, and the other is for oxygen health care. If price is not a consideration, high-quality imported oxygen generators are recommended regardless of whether it is for oxygen health care purposes or home oxygen therapy needs. When choosing, the following three factors are crucial:

First, the oxygen generation system. High-quality oxygen generators can operate stably and continuously while ensuring stable oxygen concentration. However, some oxygen generators on the market currently have poor heat dissipation, which makes them unable to be turned on continuously. Some can be turned on continuously, but as time goes by, the concentration of the generated oxygen will become unstable. Even after being turned on for more than ten hours, the generated oxygen is almost like air, and the oxygen concentration is greatly reduced. Therefore, when choosing, the oxygen generator should be able to ensure that the oxygen concentration can be stabilized above 90% no matter how the oxygen flow is adjusted.

Second, the filtration system. Currently, many oxygen generators with excellent quality are equipped with a three-level filtration system, which can make the oxygen cleaner and effectively prevent dust and bacterial particles from harming users. Because people who need to inhale oxygen for a long time often have extremely sensitive and fragile respiratory tracts and lungs, it is necessary to choose a professional oxygen generator with clean oxygen generation.

Third, the silent system. Many patients who use oxygen generators gradually become resistant to oxygen inhalation in the later stage. One of the key reasons is that the oxygen generator is too noisy. If oxygen inhalation is required for more than ten hours a day and being in a noisy environment for a long time will not only make the user feel uncomfortable but also reduce their compliance and then reject oxygen inhalation. Therefore, the silent effect is also an important consideration when choosing an oxygen generator. High-quality oxygen generators have a working noise of about 40 decibels. 40 decibels is equivalent to the requirements of a professional audio-visual room, or it is as quiet as a university library reading room.
