How to choose a POC?

• Know Your Prescription -
  • Continuous vs pulse dose -ie 2L/M continuous or 2-4 L/M pulse or via conserving device (on demand)
  • Pulse dose or on demand-patient should be tested by their pulmonologist or healthcare professional while ambulating to ensure that they can trigger the device and maintain an adequate oxygen saturation 89%
• Flow Rate -
  • Look at the amount of oxygen the machine produces and the available settings for that specific machine
  • The smaller POC's under 10 Lbs will be pulse only. This is not to be used for sleeping.
  • 24/7 POC's available 2-3L continuous and 6L pulse dose
• Battery -
  • Look at the battery life for the machine and available battery sizes to conveniently give you the hours you need
  • Continuous flow gives a shorter battery life (O2 Concepts Independence 2.5 hours on 2L, 1.5 hours on 3L)
  • Car chargers are available
  • Pulse dose-(O2 Concepts Freedom 2L=3.5 hours)
• Size/Weight -
  • Look at the size/weight and how you will carry it or roll it
  • Look at the POC manufacturers track record in the field of POC's (O2 Concepts manufacturers in the US and only manufacturers POC since 2010)
