new personal oxygen system

[Guest guest]

If anyone on here has a chance, go the following website and check out

their New (due out March, 2008) VIASpire Personal Oxygen System. This

looks pretty simple and would save everyone from the headache of liquid

oxygen delivery. Hope this info helps someone.

The site says the VIAspire Liquefier converts gaseous oxygen from any

OSD concentrator to liquid. Liquefies and stores two liters so portable

refills are always available. Typically runs for four hours per day,

liquefying enough oxygen for two fills, or 12-16 hours ambulatory use.

Fills VIAspire Oxygen Portables in minutes.

Looks very interesting, but I see only one advantage to it over just

starting out with a liquid reservoir. That is not needing deliveries

of oxygen. Obviously for some that has been a major issue. But, it

shouldn't be. They also list as an advantage carrying your portable

through the house and not using tubing. Well, you could do that with

a reservoir and portable as well, although excepting having cats or

moving around on a scooter or motorized chair, that wouldn't normally

be a preferred choice.

They talk about the advantages of liquid, well why not just start out

that way? Why spend the cost of operating a concentrator to get to

liquid? Depending on flow and location and hours a concentrator costs

anywhere from $30-70 per month in electricity to operate. Also,

liquid to start with is purer than the oxygen you get from the

concentrator.

However, for those who prefer concentrators, I do see this as an

alternative just as I do the homefill concentrators for gaseous

oxygen. The portables they use here are about the same size as the

standard liquid portables. However, at higher flows, they don't offer

anything to compare to a Companion 1000 or 1000T in size.

I would like to see the product get a little life on it and work out

bugs, but it is interesting. In spite of the fact, I'm not running

out to ask for one, I applaud anything that provides extra choices

for us. Great find, Tina.

I do see one other possible use for this that they don't even

mention. Travel by car. Take the concentrator. Fill your liquid

portables. Drive. Arrive. Plug concentrator in. It would eliminate

the need for refills of liquid reservoirs on long road trips like I

intend to take. Even if the concentrator isn't indicated as portable,

the typical concentrator still weighs no more and generally less than

a portable liquid reservoir.
