WHY YOUR PHYSICIAN PRESCRIBE SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

Today, many people suffer from heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases. Many of these people can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy. Your body requires a steady supply of oxygen to function properly. Your physician prescribed supplemental oxygen for you because you are not getting enough oxygen from room air alone. Supplemental oxygen will increase the amount of oxygen that your body receives.
Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your physician prescribed a specific oxygen flow to improve symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fatigue, or increased irritability. If these symptoms persist after you begin your supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician.

HOW YOUR OX-A Series OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR WORKS

Oxygen concentrators are the most reliable, efficient, and convenient source of supplemental oxygen available today, the oxygen concentrator is electrically operated. The unit separates oxygen from room air which allows high-purity supplemental oxygen to be delivered to you through the oxygen outlet, although the concentrator filters the oxygen in a room, it will not affect the normal amount of oxygen in your room.
