Re: Portable Oxygen concentrator

[Guest guest]

The only unit with continuous flow and useful for sleep is the Sequal

Eclipse. On demand it also goes higher as do some of the others. Owning

a POC sounds nice but unless I traveled a lot I'd juggle between my

supplier and renting from national companies who do that. The reason is

that it can't serve the sleep needs (over 3 lpm) very long and is

limited in terms of how long it can serve your needs under activity.

That said, we do have members who love their POC's.
