The LM5BA Oxygen Concentrator delivers oxygen at a rate of 1-5 L/min with an oxygen concentration of 93%±2%. It is designed to be used with accessories like cannulas, humidifiers, and adapters specified by Rhythm Healthcare. However, the manual does not specify whether it can support two simultaneous oxygen lines effectively. Running two lines at the same time might reduce the oxygen flow per line, potentially affecting performance. There is no mention of needing to shut down one line at a time, but for proper usage and efficiency, it is best to consult the provider.
