Operator Profile:
AirSep’s Stationary Concentrators are intended to supply supplemental Oxygen
to users suffering from discomfort due to ailments which affect the efficiency of
ones lungs to transfer the oxygen in air to their bloodstream. Users can benefit
from supplemental oxygen therapy for respiratory care at home, in the hospital,
or at a medical facility. Oxygen Concentrator use requires a physician’s
prescription, and are not intended for life support use.
Although Oxygen therapy can be prescribed for patients of all ages the typical
oxygen therapy patient is older than 65 years of age and suffers from chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients 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 discomfort is felt while using the concentrator,
patients are advised to contact their healthcare provider. Patients 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.
