I once told my wife that she was as important to me as my next breath and this is still true, but the reality is that my next breath is as important to me as my next heartbeat.  Many people suffer from heart, lung and other respiratory diseases, which often leads their doctor to prescribe supplemental oxygen, because they are not receiving enough oxygen from room air alone.  A person's body requires a steady supply of oxygen to function properly.  A great way to supplement oxygen to the human lungs is with an oxygen concentrator; a device that delivers highly concentrated oxygen for therapeutic applications.  In a nutshell, room air is usually a mixture of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and other trace gases.  An Oxygen Concentrator takes in the room air, separates the nitrogen from the oxygen and delivers concentrated oxygen to the person through a plastic oxygen tubing which is connected to a nasal canula or mask.

There are a number of oxygen concentrators out on the market and they all do basically the same thing, but some stand out from the rest.  The DeVilbiss 5 Liter Compact Concentrator is in a league all its own.  This concentrator offers an attractive, minimalist design which is far less obtrusive in your home, yet it delivers a strong, consistent rate of oxygen delivery.  The DeVilbiss 5 Liter Compact Concentrator is a two foot tall, 36 pound machine, which runs quietly at 48 decibels.  Think about this:  30 decibels is as quiet as a whisper.  Forty decibels sounds like a quiet room and 50 decibels produces the noise of a moderate rainfall.  Power consumption with the DeVilbiss is only 310 Watts, which is a little more than a blender (300 Watts), but less than a toaster (800 Watts).  The DeVilbiss 5 Liter Compact Concentrator offers concentrated oxygen via a small and lightweight machine that is quiet and energy efficient. 

But wait, there's more!  The DeVilbiss 5 Liter Compact Concentrator system features the exclusive   DeVilbiss turn-down technology that reduces system pressure by 35%, which reduces stress on the compressor bearings and internal fittings.  This helps the oxygen concentrator last longer, minimizing repairs.  The energy-efficient design reduces power consumption by 15% or more compared with other competitive units and can save a person an average of $100 in annual electricity costs.  The DeVilbiss Oxygen Sensing Devise (OSD) feature enhances both accuracy and reliability to safeguard patient safety.  Another feature is the pressure-compensated flow meter that ensures an accurate oxygen flow display.  This unit also interfaces with the DeVilbiss SmartTrack® Concentrator Management System, which provides a fast and comprehensive concentrator check, inputs patient data and downloads critical equipment information.   To insure your safety, the DeVilbiss 5 Liter Compact Concentrator has five alarms, both visual (lights) and audio (beeps) to alert the patient or caretaker of any problems.
