DMEs from Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and across the country attended Oxygen EXPO2 in Orlando, FL on Jan 21st of this year.  The expo, subtitled The NEXT Tech in Ambulatory Oxygen, gave DME providers an opportunity to learn about the latest homecare oxygen trends and market opportunities. “We are all about technology and innovation, so being able to host an event like this where we can share our knowledge and help contribute to the industry is a great opportunity,” said OxyGo CEO Victoria Marquard-Schultz. The one-day conference covered topics such as the future of portable oxygen, oxygen safety, finding assets and revenues in a connected DME market, and leveraging social media to increase patient retail and referrals.  The keynote address was on advances in pulmonary medicine and was given by Franck Rahaghi, MD, MH, FCCP, Director of Respiratory Care at Cleveland Clinic Florida Hospital and Clinic. Dr. Rahaghi spoke about advances in pulmonary care and the importance of getting patients to move and exercise as part of their treatment referencing the American Lung Association’s famous slogan, “If you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.” “POCs and their tankless delivery of oxygen are giving patients their freedom back,” he said, “while improving their quality of life and overall sense of happiness.”  He said that ambulation could increase the life expectancy of patients on oxygen by 20%. Looking further into cutting edge patient care, Dr. Rah

[embed]https://youtu.be/qUvzx-C4yOk[/embed] How to Care for Your OxyGo NEXT OxyGo NEXT is the newest addition to the line of portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) provided by OxyGo.  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

Hurricane season in the southeastern United States runs from June 1st through November 30th, but peaks from mid-late August through September.  Sometimes, advanced warnings are issued for events such as hurricanes, tropical storms or flooding, but other times there may be no warning.These intense storms can cause massive damage to roadways, and power outages that can make it very difficult to charge important medical devices such as a portable oxygen concentrator. It helps to PLAN AHEAD for these situations, especially if you or a family member has a lung problem or other health conditions. To help with planning ahead, follow these steps: Do not wait for an emergency to start planning. Have a plan ready and have it handy at all times.  Coordinate this plan with your healthcare providers, homecare company, nursing service, and medical equipment company. Develop a basic family emergency plan.  Be sure all family members are familiar with the plan. Have the basic needs and supplies checklist completed below: □ Water — one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply for evacuation and 2-week supply for home) □ Food — it is a good idea to include foods that do not need cooking (canned, dried, etc.) (3-day supply for evacuation and 2-week supply for home) □ Battery-operated or hand-crank radio □ First aid kit and manual □ Medications (7-day supply) and medical items Remember to try and keep all your devices charged and ready in the event of a hurricane
