How much oxygen will the portable oxygen concentrator deliver?
*Note:
Breath Rate: the number of breaths you take per minute.
Oxygen Volume Per Minute = Breathing Rate x Oxygen Volume Per Breath.
This portable oxygen concentrator (POC) has a maximum capacity of 1,000 milliliters (ml) per minute, and the actual amount of oxygen delivered with each breath depends on your flow setting and breathing rate. The POC operates on a pulse dose oxygen delivery system, meaning it delivers a specific amount of oxygen per minute based on your breathing pattern.
For instance, if you set the POC to level 1, it will deliver a total of 210 ml of oxygen per minute. If your breathing rate is 10 breaths per minute, the machine will provide 21 ml of oxygen with each breath. However, if your breathing rate increases to 30 breaths per minute, the POC will adjust the oxygen bolus size to 7 ml per breath to maintain the total delivery of 210 ml per minute.
