The size and weight of traditional oxygen concentrators have limited their portability A person who needs oxygen away from home or a hospital has used high pressure oxygen cylinders and or liquid oxygen Oxygen conserving devices OCDs have been used to increase the length of time that cylinders last OCDs deliver oxygen only at the beginning of inhalation when oxygen is most beneficial This time period represents one third of the breathing cycle Using this technique OCDs conserve oxygen LifeStyle uses traditional oxygen concentration technology and combines it with oxygen conserving technology This combination enables a significant reduction in the size of the oxygen concentrator and makes LifeStyle truly portable A typical oxygen concentrator weighs more than 50 pounds In contrast your LifeStyle concentrator weighs less than 10 Ibs 4 5 kg LIFESTYLE PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR LifeStyle delivers a flow of oxygen up to an eguivalent flow of 5 Ipm liters per minute in this lightweight package that can be easily carried and used away from home While LifeStyle is operating it produces oxygen continuously but oxygen is delivered only during the beginning of inhalation when it is most beneficial There are three ways to supply power to the LifeStyle unit 1 From a power supply that connects to the LifeStyle unit and to a 100 250 volt 50 60 Hz AC outlet The power supply also recharges the battery 2 From an automobile s 12
