Home oxygen concentrators are FDA Class II prescription medical devices that use pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to extract and deliver 87–96% pure oxygen from ambient air at flow rates of 1–10 LPM to patients with COPD, hypoxemia, pulmonary fibrosis, and related chronic respiratory conditions. Primary procurers include durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers, home health agencies, and hospital discharge planning departments building outpatient oxygen therapy programs. Two form factors dominate: stationary continuous-flow units (AC-powered, 5–10 LPM, bedside-deployed) and portable oxygen concentrators (POCs, battery-powered, pulse-dose or limited continuous flow, FAA-approvable for air travel).
This category spans manufacturers, broad-portfolio distributors, and consumables suppliers — and the vendors here sit at very different points on that spectrum. [Inogen, Inc.](/directory/inogen-inc) is the most focused player: a pure-play portable oxygen concentrator (POC) manufa
