documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically
equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems.
Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen
concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions
or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This
owner's manual will tell you about your concentrator and will
