A medical oxygen generator is an oxygen generator that can obtain oxygen-enriched air (93% oxygen, oxygen concentration 90%-96%) or medical oxygen (99.5%). Molecular sieve pressure swing adsorption, membrane separation technology, and water electrolysis are usually used to produce oxygen.
The key indicator to distinguish between medical oxygen generator and oxygen generator for home is oxygen concentration, which has nothing to do with the place of use. The oxygen generator for homes advertised on the market is mainly to highlight the product’s small size and the characteristics that it can be used in a home environment. Different from large-scale oxygen production equipment and central oxygen production system, it can be understood as a small oxygen production machine. Oxygen generators for home and medical oxygen generators are classified according to their oxygen concentration and intended use. Only those with an oxygen concentration greater than 90% belong to the medical oxygen generator. Products with an oxygen concentration lower than 90% are not considered medical devices, because when the oxygen concentration is lower than 90%, the final oxygen concentration inhaled into the human body cannot achieve the purpose of medical treatment. In addition, the oxygen output of the household oxygen concentrator is unstable and cannot meet the clinical requirements, and the oxygen output of the medical oxygen concentrator is uniform and continuous. Small oxygen generators are generally used to prepare 93% oxygen and can be used for household purposes. The most common is a small molecular sieve oxygen generator.
What is the difference between an oxygen machine and an oxygen tank:
1. The oxygen tank is liquid medical oxygen, which can produce 99% pure oxygen; a good oxygen machine can only produce (90%-95%) oxygen;
2. When the oxygen tank is used up, it must be re-oxygenated; while the oxygen generator machine can produce oxygen continuously (as long as it is continuously powered);
3. Oxygen generator machine can be used for blood oxygen above 92% after the diagnosis of COVID-19. A 5L or 10L oxygen generator machine is sufficient; if the SPO2 blood oxygen is below 92%, the amount of oxygen required will increase. If the epidemic situation is serious and emergency patients need oxygen (40L to 50L or more) in one minute, the oxygen concentrator generator will not work, and LMO oxygen tanks must be used instead.
