Why Your Physician Prescribed Oxygen
Many people suffer from a variety of heart, lung, and other respiratory diseases. A significant number of these patients
can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy at home, when traveling, or while participating in daily activities away
from home.
Oxygen is a gas that makes up 21% of the room air we breathe. Our bodies depend on a steady supply to function
properly. Your physician has prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy because your body is not able to get enough
oxygen from room air. Oxygen is a non-addictive drug, and your physician prescribed a flow sufficient to improve your
condition.
Please keep in mind that unauthorized oxygen therapy can be dangerous. You must seek medical advice before you
use this oxygen concentrator. The Equipment Provider who supplies your oxygen equipment will demonstrate how to
set the prescribed flow rate.
It is very important to select the prescribed level of oxygen flow. Do not increase or decrease the flow
until you first consult your physician.
Use the LifeStyle Portable Oxygen Concentrator during sleep only under the recommendation of a
qualified clinician.
