    Does anyone know if high heat and humidy can contribute to lower oxygen levels.
    I am in Hawaii and have noticed my level drops seriously when walking without my portable oxygen concentrater. I use an oximeter for my readings.

    Charlene,

    My apologies in my tardy response. I typed out my reply and hit the send button i thought but apparently not, as after checking there was no response. Thanks for getting back to me.
    Does your Resperonics unit offers 6 ppm continuous. Can you tell me approx weight. Did you buy it in Canada or thru the US

      Hi @bmiller2653, thanks for your post and connecting with us regarding portable oxygen concentrators (POC). I’ve actually flown several times with my POC, so hopefully I can provide you with some insight into this.
