Pulse or continuous?
Air Liquide’s pages make three points worth knowing:
- Pulse settings do not equal litres per minute. Your clinician sets them using oximetry during activity.
- Pulse-dose machines suit nose breathers, and may not suit overnight use because they rely on detecting each breath.
- The Eclipse 5 switches to continuous flow if it detects no breath, and works with CPAP and bilevel.
If you need oxygen with CPAP at night, a continuous-flow model or a home concentrator is the likelier fit. Ask your prescriber.
Flying
Qantas’s authorised medical support equipment list names these portable concentrators, among others: AirSep Freestyle, Lifestyle and Focus; DeVilbiss iGo; Inogen One, G2, G3, G4 and G5; Invacare XPO2, Solo 2 and Platinum Mobile; OxyGO NEXT; Philips SimplyGo and SimplyGo Mini; SeQual Eclipse 5 and eQuinox; Precision Medical EasyPulse; Kingon P2; and GCE Zen-O and Zen-O lite. Qantas says no other equipment can be accepted for use on board.
Qantas also says all its accepted devices except the Inogen One use lithium batteries under 101 Wh. Batteries of 101 to 160 Wh need dangerous goods approval, with at most two spares. More in flying with CPAP or oxygen from Australia.
Prescription and funding
Air Liquide says you need a prescription to buy a concentrator. Victoria’s SWEP funds portable concentrators for intermittent use; Queensland’s MASS does not fund portable oxygen for community access except in special circumstances. See home oxygen funding in Victoria and Queensland.
