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 (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 POC’s (02 Concepts manufacturers in the US and only manufacturers POC since 2010).
– Warranty-02 Concepts gives a 5-year warranty on the Independence 3 year on the sieve beds (the chamber that filters out the nitrogen and leaves the oxygen) and 1 on the battery. Freedom has a 3-2-1 warranty at eemedicals.
