Operator Profile
Concentrators are intended to supply supplemental
oxygen to users suffering from discomfort due to
ailments which effect the efficiency of one's lungs
to transfer oxygen in the air to their bloodstream.
Stationary oxygen concentrators (SOCs) do not
store or contain oxygen. They do not need to be
refilled, and can operate at any location where AC
power source is available. Oxygen concentrator
use requires a physician's prescription and is not
intended for life support use.
Although oxygen therapy can be prescribed for
users of all ages, the typical oxygen therapy user

variety of respiratory diseases, including Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Users
typically have good cognitive abilities and must
be able to communicate discomfort. If the user is
unable to communicate discomfort, or unable to
read and understand the concentrator labeling and
instructions for use, then use is recommended only
under the supervision of one who can. If any dis-
comfort is felt while using the concentrator, users
are advised to contact their healthcare provider.
Users are also advised to have back-up oxygen
available (i.e. cylinder oxygen) in the event of a
power outage or concentrator failure. There are
no other unique skills or user abilities required for
concentrator use.
