Description
Key Features
- Flow Rate: Adjustable from 1–5 LPM to meet patient needs.
- Oxygen Purity: 90–96% (purity decreases slightly at higher flow rates).
- PSA Technology: Pressure Swing Adsorption ensures efficient oxygen generation.
- Built-in Humidifier: Optional water bottle attachment to moisten dry oxygen.
- Alarm System: Audible/visual alerts for:
- Low oxygen purity (<82%).
- Power failure.
- Overheating.
- High/low pressure.
- Portability: Wheels and handles for easy movement within homes/clinics.
- Noise Level: ≤ 50 dB (quieter than many budget models).

- Connect Cannula/Mask: Deliver oxygen via nasal cannula or oxygen mask.
The Oxymed 5LPM Oxygen Concentrator is a budget-friendly, reliable choice for patients needing continuous oxygen therapy at home. It excels in:
- Delivering high-purity oxygen for chronic conditions.
- Quiet, energy-efficient operation.
Always consult a doctor to confirm the required flow rate (e.g., 5LPM may be excessive for mild COPD).
