Portable oxygen concentrators, or POCs, are lightweight medical devices that dispense oxygen while being highly portable. They allow those prescribed medical oxygen to carry their own oxygen supply with them wherever they go, eliminating dependence on bulky and heavy oxygen tanks. The lightest POC on the market, the OxyGo FIT, weighs just 2.8 pounds. In the past decade POCs have made an enormous contribution to the effectiveness of oxygen delivery therapy. They are easier for patients to use and less expensive for providers to service. Before their development, patients needing oxygen at home depended on heavy oxygen tanks to dispense their oxygen. They were tethered to these tanks and could not leave home easily. Their only option to get out of the house was to attach themselves to smaller oxygen tanks on wheels and drag those tanks around with them. Such tanks can still be used today but they are obtrusive, call attention to the person using them and have restrictions as to where they

All aboard for the Medtrade Spring 2018 show! It comes to the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Convention Center March 27-29. Its hte second largest trade show in the U.S. focused exclusively on the home medical equipment market. Emerald Expositions, the shows owner, touts Medtrade Spring 2018 as designed to give todays providers the highest quality educational, networking, and advocacy opportunities -- and the largest selection of HME products under one roof. While considerably smaller than the fall Medtrade show held in Atlanta every year, the spring event is noted for attracting a home healthcare crowd hungry for new products, especially in the retail sector. One provider I talked to says he always tries to come back home from the Las Vegas show with at least three new retail products to help him keep ahead of his competition. While booth sales have reportedly remained brisk for Medtrade 2018, there is one class of exhibitors that has not been asked back. York Schwab, Account Executive for

Are air travel logistics with your POC a source of anxiety? OxyGo and OxyGo FIT are FAA-Compliant portable oxygen solutions! On August 23, 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made a rule change that streamlined the process of approving portable oxygen concentrators (POCs). Rather than continuing to approve POCs on a case-by-case basis, the FAA has established acceptance criteria for POCs used on aircraft. Each compliant POC needs to have a label from the manufacturer identifying it as adhering to this critera. Were happy to announce that our OxyGo and OxyGo Fit is FAA-compliant, and bears the necessary labeling on the back of the device. OxyGo FIT keeps goingand helps you soar to new heights!

Jason Flanigan, Applied Home HealthCares national accounts manager, has seen the future and it is loaded with high profit potential for DMEs and HMEs that ride the wave of change taking place in oxygen delivery methods. The way to survive the future with oxygen is to get as many of your patients off cylinder delivery as you can, says Jason. The market is changing in favor of POCs because POCs are what patients want and POCs such as OxyGo make so much more economic sense in todays competitive and regulatory environment. Looking at it from voice of the doctor and the patient, Jason points out that availability and quality is the key. Medicare reimbursement numbers show a clear growing trend toward the use of POCs. Doctors want to know that the DME they recommend can take care of their oxygen recommendations and carry the POC products their patients need and the brands they request. Patients are demanding high quality products because they are seeing their co-pays rise and DMEs are making

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. When health issues related to scarred lungs forced Cathy to be put on continuous flow oxygen in her home, her life changed. 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. We interviewed Cathy and her daughter Angela about their experience.
