@charlene-marshall, Could you please tell me what number of O2 you have to use with your POC? And what number do you use for exertion on an oxygen tank?

Denny, do you have scarring and are you on O2?

I find with my tanks I am…[Read more]
Hi, Charlene!
I am going to San Diego in 6 weeks. I have an Inogen One G2, which weighs about 7:5 pounds. I am on 4 limit oxygen when active. My POC goes to 6 pulse. How do you take your trips and carry around your POC? I am thinking about ordering a backpack for the Inogen, but I am afraid that it will be too heavy with the double battery.…[Read more]
Hi Lynn!
Oh that is very exciting – I’ve never been to San Diego, but I’d love to go! Enjoy your trip! 🙂
Good question re: carrying around your POC. I have the SimplyGo Respironics machine and while it is easy to travel with, being FAA approved for airlines, it is heavy and that is the only complaint I have about the POC I use. Thankfully it…[Read more]
