How to choose a POC?

Know your Prescription

• Continuous vs. pulse dose -i.e., 2L/M continuous or 2-4 L/M pulse or via conserving device (on demand).
• Pulse dose or on-demand patients 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 of 89%.  

Flow Rate

• Look at the amount of oxygen the machine produces and the available settings for that specific machine
• The smaller POCs 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 results in a shorter battery life (02 Concepts Independence: 2.5 hours on 2L, 1.5 hours on 3L).
• Car chargers are available.
• Pulse dose-(02 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 manufacturer's track record in the field of POCs (02 Concepts are manufacturers in the US and have been the only manufacturers of POC since 2010).
