If you are on oxygen therapy, chances are you know how difficult it can be to travel with oxygen tanks, especially if you are traveling by air. The invention of portable oxygen concentrators, and their approval by the FAA, has given those who limited by the constraints of their breathing ability the opportunity to travel uninhibited again.
Depending on the features you need, portable oxygen concentrators can get rather expensive. For this reason, it is important to carefully consider each option before you make a purchase. The Inogen One Oxygen Concentrator, which was the first to get FAA approval, was originally considered to be the best available. However, this was because the Inogen One was the only one of its kind available. Newer devices such as the Sequal Eclipse 2 Portable Oxygen Concentrator, Respironics EverGo, and Invacare XPO2 Portable Oxygen Concentrator now offer increased performance, enhanced reliability, and improved features at a much lower price that make the Inogen One obsolete.
Responding to the demands of its customer base, ActiveForever has created a guide for selecting a portable oxygen concentrator to help uneducated consumers find the right one for their needs: “How to Choose the Right Portable Oxygen Concentrator“. The article compares the different needs of oxygen therapy patients with the features available to them. They have also created a “Portable Oxygen Concentrator Features Comparison Chart” that makes it easier for consumers to compare the top devices by category.
