What setting are you on? The smaller lighter ones offer pulse dose only (starting @ 4.9lbs). The bigger heavier POC offer both cont. flow and pulse dose (starting @ 10lbs).

The air around you contains about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen. If you need oxygen therapy, it's because your respiratory system can no longer get enough oxygen just by breathing. An oxygen concentrator delivers purer oxygen to your lungs. This video will explain how oxygen concentrators work.
Your oxygen concentrator takes in the air around you and filters the oxygen from the nitrogen. It releases the nitrogen back into the air and collects the oxygen, dispensing it to the patient through the cannula.

Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides you with extra oxygen. Normally, your lungs absorb oxygen from the air, but certain conditions can prevent you from getting enough oxygen. Oxygen therapy can be done in a hospital or at home. If you need oxygen therapy for a chronic condition, you may receive home oxygen therapy.
Oxygen therapy can improve your quality of life and help you to be more active. It’s supplied in a metal cylinder or another container. It flows through a tube and is delivered to your lungs through either a cannula or facemask.
