Getting Started with Home Oxygen Concentrator
Wearing home supplemental oxygen doesn’t have to be a hassle, thanks to home oxygen concentrators (also called HOCs or stationary oxygen concentrators). If you need oxygen for daytime use, around-the-clock use, or only while you sleep, you may have been prescribed a HOC by your doctor.
Although home oxygen feels intimidating at first, once you learn how to set up and use your new unit, you’ll obtain the freedom to move around your home, performing day-to-day tasks while wearing your oxygen.
If using a HOC is new to you, keep reading to learn how to get started with your HOC.
Getting Started with Portable Oxygen Concentrator
Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) offer oxygen while on the go. Like home oxygen concentrators, POCs work by drawing in the air around you and removing the nitrogen, delivering oxygen to you as you breathe in. If you wear supplemental oxygen, a POC might be prescribed by your doctor so you can take oxygen with you outside of the home. POCs are lightweight and portable, generally weighing around four to five pounds.
Using a POC for the first time might seem intimidating, but with the right information, you’ll have it running in no time at all and enjoy the freedom of being able to leave your home while still wearing your oxygen.
