When it comes to COVID-19, oxygen concetrators such as the Jay 5 have become very important. A healthy human having normal lung has an oxygen saturation of 95% – 100%. According to World Health Organization (WHO), when the saturation is less than 94%, a patient needs urgent treatment. When the saturation falls below 90% it becomes a clinical emergency. This is where an oxygen concentrator becomes crucial.

How an Oxygen Concentrator Works

The atmospheric air contains about 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen and an oxygen concentrator like Jay 5 draws in ambient air and increases the oxygen concentration by separating it away from Nitrogen (which is discarded separately).

Process of an Oxygen Concentrator

1. Intake of ambient air

2. Condensing air, whereas the cooling system keeps the concentrator from heating

3.  Nitrogen is eliminated from the air through filters and sieve beds

4. Regulating delivery settings with the help of an electronic interface

5. Supplying the cleansed oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula to the person

COVID-19 as a respiratory disease affects the lungs thereby causing a dangerous drop in oxygen levels. The oxygen concentrator then provides a steady supply of oxygen to the lungs which is in turn delivered to various cells in the body.

In such cases, an oxygen concentrator is used for oxygen therapy where oxygen is used for medical treatment to enhance oxygen levels in the body to levels that are clinically acceptable.

Who Can Use an Oxygen Concentrator

Not everyone who finds their oxygen failing can use an oxygen concentrator. According to Prof. Naik, who is the Head and Professor at B.J. Medical, “Oxygen concentrators can be used only in moderate cases of COVID-19, when the patient experiences drop in oxygen levels, where the oxygen requirement is a maximum of 5 litres per minute.”

The professor also stated that oxygen concentrators are very useful for patients who are facing post-COVID complications which require the use of oxygen therapy.

If you are still wondering if you can use an oxygen concentrator on your own, yes, it is possible but it is highly recommended by medical practitioners to obtain medical guidance first. It is thus very important to talk to your doctor first before using this equipment.

With an Oxygen Concentrator Do I need an Oxygen Gas Cylinder?

An oxygen concentrator like Jay 5 does not require a medical oxygen gas cylinder. This is because, as mentioned earlier, a concentrator uses ambient air to separate oxygen from Nitrogen and deliver it to the patient. This means you don’t have to worry about the Oxygen tank price anymore.

Advantages of Oxygen Concentrators

• They do not require to be filled like oxygen tanks
• They can save one’s life
• They are less expensive
• Enables one to get quality sleep
• One becomes more alert
• It minimizes the risk hypoxemia (lack of oxygen in the blood)

Disadvantages of Oxygen Concentrators

• You need an external power source which can be a challenge on the move

Jay 5 Oxygen Concentrator supports a 24*365 operation. The good news is that the Jay 5 Oxygen is now available in Kenya at Medistus Limited at a very good price.
