LIFE FORCE.
Oxygen therapy and how it
improves quality of life.

Being prescribed oxygen therapy doesn’t haveto take you away from life’s pleasures.
Today’s portable oxygen technology has given
millions of patients freedom and mobility, while
keeping them safe and healthy.

WHAT IS OXYGENTHERAPY?
Oxygen is a gas necessary for human life
supporting the critical functions of yourinternal organs. The air we breathe ismade up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen,and 1% other gases.
Your doctor may prescribe supplemental
oxygen therapy for you when your lungs do
not have enough healthy tissue to absorb
the amount of oxygen your body needs. This
medical oxygen will ensure your lungs work
more efficiently.

WHO BENEFITS FROMOXYGEN THERAPY?
Oxygen therapy is used to treat a variety ofhealth conditions, respiratory infections,and chronic breathing disorders affecting
the lungs’ ability to function properly.
Your doctor may prescribe supplemental
oxygen therapy for the following
health disorders:- Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD)- Pulmonary Fibrosis- Cystic Fibrosis- Pneumonia- Severe Asthma- Sleep Apnea

HOW DOESSUPPLEMENTALOXYGEN HELP?
Oxygen therapy improves your lungs’ respiratory
functions by reducing shortness of breath, andincreases your energy, activity tolerance andendurance. It can help to reduce your risk forheart disease and other health complications.
This therapy may also improve your sleeping
patterns while enhancing your cognitive function
and alertness.

HOW DOES AN OXYGENCONCENTRATOR WORK?
A quality, high-performance portable oxygen
concentrator is key to ensuring you get thetherapeutic oxygen you need. A portable oxygen
concentrator, or POC, takes normal air andpurifies it to deliver between 90–95% oxygento the user via a nasal cannula or mask.
Powered by electric, battery, or motor vehicle
power, a POC will never run out of oxygen whena power source is available.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
A PORTABLE OXYGENCONCENTRATOR
Oxygen delivery safeguards – While all portable
oxygen concentrators deliver oxygen, some are
more technologically-advanced, offering featuresthat ensure the prescribed dose is delivered
with each breath. Some devices offer automatedfeatures that can sense your inhalation andadjust oxygen delivery to keep your oxygen
saturation consistent during activity or rest.
Oxygen delivery volume and settings –Portable oxygen concentrators vary in oxygen
delivery capabilities based on their volume
ranges. When selecting a POC, make sure
it meets your current needs while allowing
flexibility for future changes. Ultra-lightweightportables generally have limited oxygen
delivery capacity.
Comfort – Portable concentrators come in many
shapes and sizes. Outside of selecting one thatis lightweight, look at the design of the device’s
shell and find a comfortable solution – one thatfits the contour of your body. Other shapes
and form factors often swing or bounce during
activity.
Durability and warranty – Reliability is key.
Avoiding any disruptions or extra costs related toyour oxygen therapy is important. Many products
have separate warranties for the sieve bed andthe rest of the unit. Requesting information on
both is recommended.
