transportable Oxygen Concentrators Comparisons

It seems like every month there is a new transportable oxygen concentrator advent to market. So which one is the right oxygen concentrator for you?  There are choices in size, weight, battery life, continuous flow and pulse flow. Some units are Faa beloved and others are not. transportable oxygen units have a pretty hefty price tag, so its foremost to make sure you make the right decision. Here is a comparison of the most recognized transportable oxygen concentrators on the market.

First the Inogen One. The Inogen One was one of the first travel oxygen concentrators to come out on the market. This unit is very light advent in under 10 pounds. Its easy to carry or tote along with you with the travel cart that it comes with. When it first came out the battery life was more than any other transportable concentrator on the market. Now there are other models giving you roughly three times the amount of battery life, which I'll get to in just a moment.  This unit like most comes with an A/C and D/C power supply.  making it straightforward to travel with. Pros of the Inogen one would be that is light weight and about the size of a football. Cons of this unit, The inogen one battery only goes up to 3 hours on a low prescribed liter flow. The unit is only pulse flow, so it can only be used in the day. Ordinarily a physician will tell you if you are on oxygen therapy to switch over to continuous flow when you go to sleep. If you travel with the Inogen One and plan to use it on your trip you will probably want a back up unit when it is time for you to go to sleep.

Next out on the store is the Sequal Eclipse. The Sequal Eclipse is the only Faa beloved transportable oxygen concentrator that has a continuous flow setting. The Sequal Eclipse has a setting of 1-6 liters per diminutive on pulse flow and 1-3 liters per diminutive on continuous flow. The Eclpse is not as light as most transportable oxygen concentrators. This unit is about 17 pounds. It is still easy to travel with advent with a handy travel cart.  Pros of the Sequal Eclipse. The unit is the only Faa beloved concentrator with continuous flow settings, Battery life could go as high as 4 hours on a low liter flow, can be used while the day or while sleeping.  Cons would be that the unit is a bit heavier and a diminutive bigger than the others.

The transportable oxygen concentrator that followed the Sequal Eclipse is the Respironics Evergo. The Evergo is also Faa approved. Its claim to fame is its battery life. This transportable concentrator holds two batteries at one time and can last up to 8 hours.  This was the biggest issue before the Evergo by Respironics came out.  Pros of the Respironics Evergo, the unit has up to 8 hours of battery life. It comes with a travel case that is excellent for travel oxygen patients because it looks like a small piece of carry on luggage. The unit also comes with a travel cart. Even though it weighs less than 10 pounds you still may decide to roll it along side with you.  The only Con to the Respironics Evergo would be that is only a pulse flow oxygen machine, so you can't use it if you are prescribed continuous flow by your doctor.

Beach Vacation Packing List

Planning a summer road trip where you'll hit a lot of beaches along a coast? You'll need a beach vacation packing list to make sure you don't forget anything.

You've got lots of options as far as what coast and where on it you will travel, but your beach vacation packing will need to change depending on the temperature where you're going. A coastal trip up to Maine is very separate from a trip along the coast of Southern California.

Beach Vacation Packing List

Beach Vacation Packing List: general Stuff/Any Climate
Maps and printed out directions for your route. Get a Gps law if you can - it can be a great help if you get lost or just want to find something, like a pizza place. Printed out hotel confirmations/reservation facts for anything you've booked for your trip. Both a first-aid kit and a roadside crisis kit along with a flashlight with fresh batteries. Get Aaa if you don't have it- not only is it great for roadside assistance and other issues with your vehicle, most hotels offer discounts to Aaa members. Every kind of charger you need for your cell phones, digital cameras, etc. Load up anything that requires batteries with fresh ones so you don't have to waste time on your trip stopping to buy them. Clothes for every day of your trip, sleepwear, underwear and socks. Pack no more than three pairs of shoes (pick ones that will go with almost everything) and make sure one pair is a good pair of walking shoes. All toiletries and other grooming materials. Put things that might leak in plastic sealable bags. Don't forget any prescriptions you might need. Swiss Army knife or all the tools it includes - a small knife, corkscrew, bottle opener, and scissors. Rain ponchos for those occasional rainy days. Two coolers, one large one for your trip (filled with snacks, meals and beverages), and one smaller one to tote to the beach. Big blanket for when you're cold or to use as a picnic blanket/beach blanket. Pillows if anything in your group likes to nap. A pair of sunglasses for everyone in the group. For those who need glasses and contacts, pack them along with all the valuable drops and cleaning fluids.
Beach Vacation Packing List: Hot Climate
Bathing suits - at least two. Bring just one and it will all the time be cold and damp when you put it on. Plus, you'll need to wash it regularly, development it even slower to dry. Woolite/gentle soap for washing bathing suits. Beach towels - two for each person. Why? Just like bathing suits, towels don't all the time dry as fast as we'd like them to, so having an extra is essential. Sunscreen, aloe gel, and other sunburn remedies. Bring some, but don't stress about having all that you need - all of these items are easily available in any drugstore. Hats are a good idea - you'd be amazed at how burned your scalp can get, even with a full head of hair. Sandals and flip-flops for the beach. Beach cover-ups/outfits for each day and a fresh outfit for every evening. If you want to minimize clothes, just pack a fresh t-shirt/top for the evening. Sweatshirts, sweaters, and light jackets for cooler nights. One or more sun umbrellas unless you know that every beach you'll be visiting offers rentals. No matter how much sunscreen you slather on, it's rarely adequate for a whole day in the sun and playing in the waves, so sitting in the shade of your umbrella can make all the difference. Large beach bag with lip balm with sunscreen, sunscreen of all Spf's, napkins, and cash for concession stands. Put some hair elastics in the bag for anything with long hair so that they can pull it back when it's hot or windy (or both). Lots of reading - books, magazines, and newspapers. This is a trip where you undoubtedly get a occasion to read (assuming you're into reading). Mp3 players with headphones/Earbuds. Disposable cameras. Never bring your digital camera (or laptop) to the beach because the salt air will gum all the parts up and destroy it. Inflatable toys/mattresses and boogie boards for playing in the waves. Other beach games are also great to bring along.
Beach Vacation Packing List: Cool/Cold Climate
Unless you enjoy swimming in frosty cold water, you'll only need one bathing suit. If you love a brisk swim among the icebergs, you'll need two and you'll also need to bring a bottle of Woolite/gentle soap for washing your suits. For the occasional invigorating dip in the ocean, pack one large towel for each person. Pack a lot of layers when selecting your outfits. T-shirts, light pullover/fleeces, heavy sweaters, jackets, shorts, jeans and other long pants are all items you can bring and then layer depending on the weather. The temperature can change frequently while the day so plan accordingly. Pack lots of socks - from thinner cotton ones to thicker warm ones. Sunscreen - make sure to wear this even if you're not spending all day on the beach. As you'll probably spend more time engaged in other activities, it's unlikely you'll spend adequate time in the sun as to end up with sunburn, so you can probably skip packing the sunburn remedies. Sneakers and socks will probably be used more than flip flops, which most people will find too cold. If you're planning to hike some of the northern parks, pack hiking boots, thick socks, and a compass. Make sure to bring your cell phone in case you get lost. Grabbing a trail map (and sticking to marked trails) is the best way to avoid getting lost in the first place. It's a good idea to figure out one action for every day above and beyond the beaches, which will only take a small whole of time to visit as it will be fairly cold. Either you're exploring local sights or participating in outdoor activities and sports, you'll be sure to have a undoubtedly fun vacation.

Now you've got everything you need for a fabulous summer road trip!
