What is the difference between medical oxygen concentrator and an oxygen cylinder?
A common mistake most people make is to confuse medical oxygen concentrators with oxygen cylinders. Although they have the same purpose of providing oxygen to the patient, they are different from each other. First, there is medical-grade oxygen in the oxygen cylinder, which is basically about 99% concentrated oxygen. Another difference is that the air in the oxygen cylinder is pressurized, so it can be used to provide the patient with a very high flow rate of air. The use of oxygen cylinders can reach a rate of 15 liters per minute.
But at the same time, the disadvantage of the cylinder is that it needs to be refilled. Although the medical oxygen concentrator cannot provide pressurized air, it can run 24x7. The medical oxygen concentrator can only provide 5-10 liters of oxygen per minute, which may not be enough for critically ill patients.
