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.
