Staying overnight for medical treatment—-I use oxygen 24/7—-
What kind of portable device can my oxygen provider give me for the trip and use overnight? Last time they gave me the Oxlife Independence Concepts 2 Oxy Concentrator. During the night it started beeping continuously with a message that there was a problem with the air purity. I couldn’t get the beeping to stop and wound up shutting it off to get some sleep. I prayed to God that I would wake up in the morning and, luckily, I did. I have to do this trip again in July and am worried that the same thing might happen. I need to know that I will have an oxygen device that will work. What should I do?

I use Inogen Oxygen Concentrator. The only thing is that I have the G5 and I find it heavy for me to carry around. So, I may have to request a smaller one.

Hello Millie,
Just wanted to respond to your travel concerns.
If your concentrator was pulse release, that’s why your unit was beeping. I used the larger portable they had available years ago and wasn’t told that I COULD NOT use pulse overnight! That’s why I am STILL waiting on a concentrator that has continuous flow for high liter candidates.
The other alternative is to call your oxygen provider and ask if they have a partner company in the area you are traveling, so you can have your needed oxygen supply available to pick up once you get there ARE have delivered to the address where you are staying!!
I love traveling too, hope this is helpful and if you find something more convenient PLEASE SHARE ‼️‼️‼️
