A portable concentrator machine is a small device that can give mobility outside the home. Portable concentrator machines are not suitable for everyone and are only available after a specific ambulatory assessment has been completed.  Portable concentrator machines have the ability to use mains, battery and DC power supply, and are designed to work on pulse dose delivery.

A patient’s flow setting on one of these may vary from what they are required to use on a standard concentrator machine or cylinder.
