Oxygen Concentrator on Rent Delivered in 4 Hours 

​​How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?

​​​

Oxygen concentrators filter surrounding air, compressing it to the required density and then delivering purified medical grade oxygen into a pulse-dose delivery system or continuous stream system to the patient.

​

The pulse dose mode is usually used for daytime use, as it delivers air via the cannula when you inhale. Concentrators with pulse dose technology also are more compact in design and offer a longer battery life. On the other hand, the continuous flow mode delivers a constant air flow via the tubes. For people who need oxygen while they sleep, this mode is the best option.​​​

​

The process is as under:

​

1. Compressing air as the cooling mechanism keeps the concentrator from becoming overheated

2. Taking air in from its surroundings

3. Using an electronic interface to adjust delivery settings

4. Removing nitrogen from the air through sieve beds and a filter

5. Delivering purified oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula

What Key Features to check before buying an Oxygen Concentrator?

​

​1. Capacity in Litre: 5 Litre to 10 Litre

​

2. Oxygen Flow: Per minute output - variable - 0.5 L to 5 L - typical defined by capacity and adjustable as per need of the patient. Important parameter. ​

 

3. Nebulizer: Typical add-on for the patients having breathing issues - is a big plus (its optional for few models and comes as a standard with few models) ​

 

4. Oxygen concentration output: Very important to have 93% or more. Do check! ​

 

5. Battery Backup: For those times, when suddenly power goes Or when patients need to be transported. It is not a standard feature as yet, but a big plus for those models which have it. It’s a Big plus for peace of mind. Typical backup provided is 1 hour, good enough for most cases. ​

 

6. Portability: As the name suggests, the ability to easily move and take from one room to another makes Oxygen concentrator Portable. Whether you are buying it out or renting out, its one feature you should weigh upon when making a choice. ​

​

7. Touch Panel: Ease of operation is achieved by ​providing ease to use display panel, having touch-based operations.

 

8. Noise Level: Those in suffering, are a bit more restless and most sounds irritate them. Having an Oxygen concentrator in the room, for sure would have a Noise Level (it's constantly sucking in air and concentrating it, pumping into the output valve). Do check upon a good acceptable level Noise level 45 dB or so is acceptable. Most models are in the range of 50 dB (Higher the dB level, higher the Noise) ​

 

9. Warranty: It’s very important point from the total cost of ownership point of view. You must insist and get clarity on Oxygen concentrator Warranty to be at least 2 to 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

​

Q1. How much does it cost to rent an oxygen concentrator in Delhi?

Estimated Rental Pricing in Delhi: Rental costs vary significantly depending on the type of oxygen concentrator required.

​

5-liter stationary oxygen concentrators, including models such as Philips EverFlo and Medoxy, typically cost around ₹3,500–₹4,500 per month. 10-liter high-flow oxygen concentrators, such as DeVilbiss and Medoxy 10L, generally cost approximately ₹5,000–₹7,000 per month.

​

Portable oxygen concentrators are considerably more expensive to rent. Models such as Oxymed P2 and SimplyGo Mini may cost approximately ₹30,000–₹35,000 per month and can require a higher refundable security deposit.

​

Actual rental pricing can vary based on the model, availability, rental duration, delivery location, and accessories required. Confirm the final rental amount and security deposit before booking.

​

Q2. What equipment and accessories may be required with an oxygen concentrator at home?

An oxygen concentrator is often only one part of a home oxygen setup. Depending on the patient's prescription and care requirements, the setup may include:

​

• Oxygen concentrator: Usually a 5L or 10L stationary unit, selected according to the prescribed oxygen flow requirement.

• Backup oxygen cylinder: Particularly important for patients who require continuous oxygen, as the concentrator cannot operate during a power cut or equipment failure unless suitable power backup is available.

• Nasal cannula: A lightweight tube with two nasal prongs commonly used to deliver oxygen at prescribed lower flow rates.

• Oxygen mask: May be recommended instead of a nasal cannula in certain situations depending on the required oxygen delivery and the treating clinician's advice.

• Humidifier bottle: Can be connected to compatible concentrators when humidification has been advised, particularly where dryness becomes an issue.

• Oxygen tubing/connectors: Used to connect the concentrator to the prescribed oxygen-delivery interface.

• Pulse oximeter: Used to monitor SpO₂ and pulse rate at home. Oxygen flow should not be changed solely on the basis of an oximeter reading without appropriate medical guidance.

• Power backup: An inverter/UPS or another suitable backup arrangement may be considered where uninterrupted oxygen delivery is clinically necessary.

 

The exact setup should be based on the patient's prescribed oxygen flow, duration of use, mobility requirements, and treating doctor's recommendations. Not every patient requires every accessory listed above.

​

Q3. Should I rent a 5L or 10L oxygen concentrator?

The choice between a 5 LPM and 10 LPM oxygen concentrator should be based on the oxygen flow prescribed for the patient, rather than simply choosing the higher-capacity machine. Healthy Jeena Sikho offers both 5L and 10L oxygen concentrators in Delhi.

​

Q4. Do I need a doctor's prescription to use an oxygen concentrator at home?

Oxygen is a medical therapy, so the required oxygen flow and duration should be determined by the patient's treating healthcare professional. Avoid changing the prescribed flow rate independently simply because the oxygen concentrator can provide a higher output.

​

Q5. Is an oxygen concentrator better than an oxygen cylinder for home use?

They serve different purposes. An oxygen concentrator continuously extracts and concentrates oxygen from ambient air while electricity is available, whereas an oxygen cylinder stores a finite quantity of medical oxygen and requires refilling. Government medical-oxygen guidance describes concentrators as a practical option for long-term oxygen therapy while also recommending backup power and reserve medical oxygen where appropriate.

​

Q6. Can an oxygen concentrator be used continuously or overnight?

Oxygen concentrators can support extended use when the specific machine is designed for it, but the duration and flow rate should follow the patient's prescription and the manufacturer's operating instructions. Keep the concentrator well ventilated and ensure its air inlet and outlet are not obstructed.

​

Q7. What happens during a power cut while using an oxygen concentrator?

Oxygen concentrators require electricity to operate. If a patient depends on continuous oxygen therapy, an appropriate backup plan is important. India's National Guidelines on Medical Oxygen Management recommend uninterrupted power or suitable power backup for concentrators and reserve medical oxygen in case of power loss or equipment failure.

​

Q8. What happens if my rented oxygen concentrator stops working?

Contact Healthy Jeena Sikho's support team if a rented concentrator develops a problem. HJS advertises 24×7 support and maintenance for medical-equipment rentals in Delhi. Patients who depend continuously on supplemental oxygen should also have a backup arrangement based on their treating team's advice.

​

Q9. Is it better to rent or buy an oxygen concentrator in Delhi?

Renting may be more practical for short-term or uncertain-duration requirements, while buying can make more financial sense when oxygen therapy is expected to continue for a longer period. Compare the expected duration, monthly rental cost, purchase price, servicing, warranty, and prescribed equipment requirements before deciding. Healthy Jeena Sikho offers oxygen concentrators on both rental and purchase bases.

​
