Home oxygen equipment
Oxygen concentrators
For use if you require oxygen at home.
The machine takes oxygen from the
surrounding air, providing a continuous
supply.
An oxygen cylinder is also provided as a
back-up in case you have problems with
your concentrator or there is a power cut.
High capacity cylinders (B10)
Mainly for use as a back-up supply to a
concentrator in the event of a power failure.
Also suitable for patients who need only small
amounts of oxygen at home.
A contents gauge shows you how much oxygen
you have left in the cylinder.
Firebreak
Your oxygen tubing will be fitted with a
firebreak for your safety.
A firebreak is a thermal fuse designed
to stop the flow of oxygen in the event
of a fire in your tubing.
You should never interfere
with or remove a firebreak

Oxygen conservers
Oxygen conservers provide a precise
amount of oxygen at the best point in your
breathing cycle so you only use the oxygen
you need.
A conserver is designated to be used with a
portable cylinder making your oxygen supply
last up to three times longer.
Your clinician must advise us that you are suitable before
we can supply a conserver.
Conservers are not suitable for children six
years old and under
