Traveling with OxyGo NEXT!
Traveling with OxyGo NEXT OxyGo NEXT uses the latest state-of-the-art technologies to make traveling with your portable oxygen concentrator easier than ever. OxyGo NEXT has user-replaceable batteries, sieve beds and an easy to read LCD display with simple controls. This makes travel a breeze whether in car, train, cruise ship or on a plane! Traveling with OxyGo NEXT is straightforward and simple. One reason is it so easy to travel with is because it meets all the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for use on-board an airline. Tip: Check with Your Airline Before Your Flight It is important to note that all airlines have their own requirements when it comes to traveling with a POC. Prior to travel, you should check the website of the airline you are using, whether it's a large carrier or a small regional airline. On their website they will have a section on traveling with medical equipment. There you can find the forms you will need to prepare before your travels. This usually includes release forms from your physician for a prescription. Make Sure to Have Extra Batteries Generally, airlines require that you have 1 ½ times as much battery life as the length of the trip. With the OxyGo NEXT that's no worry! The extended battery life and effortless battery removal to switch to another battery means you can easily meet this requirement. Bluetooth Connectivity Another unique feature of the OxyGo NEXT is that it ha
Caring for OxyGo NEXT is a breeze!

It was created to provide the user with the ease of not only a small compact device, but one that is easily serviceable, too. For patients and providers, servicing the OxyGo NEXT is extremely simple. An important tip to remember when taking care of your concentrator is to keep the inlet filters on the outside clean and free of dirt, debris, and animal dander. A clean filter allows full airflow to the unit. Keeping your filter clean is done by simply removing the filters from the outside of the concentrator, rinsing them out with dish soap and warm water, and allowing them to dry before placing them back on the unit. We recommend you clean your filter at least once a week or more frequently if necessary. It is important to keep the body of your portable oxygen concentrator clean. Wiping the exterior of the unit down every now and then will help increase the life of your concentrator. Keeping your concentrator inside its protective carrying case can also help keep the unit safe from excess wear and tear. Serviceability of the OxyGo NEXT The two biggest issues people tend to have with portable oxygen concentrators are maintaining the sieve beds and batteries. Like other OxyGo POCs, the OxyGo NEXT has user replaceable sieve beds and batteries that are easy to replace in t

POC Game Changer
How OxyGo® Is Transforming Lives For The Better Big surprises often come in small packages that can make a huge difference in a person’s life. Read one patient’s personal story… For Cathy Work, a happy-go-lucky grandmother and resident of Sandusky, Ohio, life changed for the better when she found out about OxyGo POCs. A small OxyGo POC gave her back a sense of independence and the opportunity to once again live a happy and meaningful life. This is Cathy’s story. When health issues related to scarred lungs forced Cathy to be put on continuous flow oxygen in her home, her life changed from happy to sad. Used to coming and going as she pleased, the restrictions of being tethered to oxygen tanks 24/7 sent her spiraling into a hurtful depression. It tested her will power and those of the loving family around her. Home HealthCare Today (HHCT) editor-in-chief Victoria Marquard interviewed Cathy and her daughter, Angela, in their suburban Sandusky home this past February. It was Angela who discovered that an OxyGo POC unit was available to help free her mom from the monotony and confinement of oxygen tanks. So gratified were Cathy and Angela with the freedom OxyGo gave them that they happily agreed to the interview with the hope it would encourage other home oxygen patients and providers to make the switch to OxyGo POCs. HHCT: Cathy, It’s obvious you are not a fan of having to use oxygen tanks. Please tell the home healthcare providers who read this article what lif
