Receiving a prescription for medical oxygen is an important step in managing your health and enhancing your quality of life. If you’re unsure how to get started, we’re here to help. This guide will walk you through the steps to getting set up with medical oxygen and introduce you to OxyGo’s range of products, each designed to meet your specific oxygen therapy needs.

Choosing the right product

The first step is understanding what your prescription requires. Your doctor or healthcare provider will specify how much oxygen you need (flow rate) and whether you need continuous flow or pulse delivery. These details are important in determining which oxygen concentrator will work best for you.

At OxyGo, we offer a variety of products to match different oxygen needs:

  • OxyGo FIT: A lightweight, portable oxygen concentrator (POC) that is perfect for active individuals. Weighing just 2.8 pounds and offering up to 3 oxygen settings, this POC is perfect for those who want a small, portable option. It’s easy to carry and provides oxygen support while allowing you to stay active.
  • OxyGo NEXT: Designed for users who require more oxygen or longer battery life, the OxyGo NEXT delivers up to 13 hours of battery life with 6 flow settings (with an extended battery) and offers higher oxygen output. It’s robust, reliable, and ensures you get the oxygen you need during longer trips or busy days.
  • OxyHome: If you need a stationary oxygen solution, OxyHome provides continuous oxygen delivery with minimal noise and a sleek, modern design that blends easily into your home environment. Its twin blower cooling design, 5-setting continuous flow, and consistent performance ensure you receive oxygen therapy throughout the day. 

Learning How to Use Your Oxygen Device

Once you’ve received your OxyGo product from your provider, learning how to use it is simple. OxyGo devices are user-friendly and come with comprehensive instructions. User Manuals for each oxygen concentrator are provided on the OxyGo website along with informational articles and videos.

Maintaining Your Oxygen Equipment

To keep your OxyGo device running smoothly, it’s important to follow the maintenance guidelines included with your product. Regular cleaning and care of filters and other parts will help extend the life of your device. Check the user manual for maintenance instructions or contact your oxygen provider for help.
