There are many portable oxygen concentrators on the market today, but very few of them can give out continuous flow. The few that do are the Sequal Eclipse, Devilbiss Igo, Oxlife Independence, and the Invacare Solo 2. Each company has their plus and minuses. Out of the four portable oxygen machines that give out continuous the one that always seems the favorite is the Sequal Eclipse.
The Sequal Eclipse now has a new generation, the Sequal Eclipse 3. It goes up to a continuous flow of 3LPM and also gives out a pulse dose flow up to a setting of 6. There are not many portable oxygen concentrators that can do that and still give out great oxygen concentration, and have good battery life! This Concentrator is one of the only machines that can be used 24/7. Now you can get rid of your 50lbs unit and the pain in the butt tanks!
The only down falls to having a continuous flow portable oxygen concentrator is the weight and battery life. The Pulse dose flow units have great battery life and are very very light. When it comes to continual flow portable oxygen the machines need to have a bigger compressor which results in a heavier machine. The continuous flow also requires a lot of electricity, meaning that the battery life isn't as hot as the pulse flow concentrators.
The major pluses to having a continuous flow oxygen machine is the ability to use it 24/7. You can now get rid of all the awkward green tanks and that huge machine that takes up your whole room. With the Sequal Eclipse 3 Portable Oxygen you can use the pulse dose during the day, and when you have to sleep at night you can use the continuous flow. Another great thing with continual flow units is that you are able to plug them into a CPAP, BiPAP, you name it! You can't do that with pulse flow oxygen!
There are many great oxygen generators out there today, but the Sequal Eclipse 3 is the best way to go for a continuous and pulse flow oxygen concentrator.
