Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) have the ability to provide flow up to 9 setting on pulse dose (on demand while breathing through nose). Continuous recommended for use during sleep.
- Small Portable Oxygen Concentrator pulse settings are from 1–3, or 1–6 pulse only. Recomended for ambulation, not recomended for sleep
- Larger Portable Oxygen Concentrators have the ability to produce from .5 to 2-3 LPM continuous flow and provide pulse setting up to (depending on model) 6-10 settings. Recomended for sleep up to 2-3LPM continuous flow, ambulation up to 6-10 setting
Various models produce different flow settings depending on size and make.
- Standard stationary oxygen concnetrators have a flow setting from 1–5 LPM continuous.
- High flow stationary concentrators have flow settings from 2-10 LPM continiuous flow.
