What & How about Oxygen Concentrator?

 

An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that concentrates oxygen from ambient air.  The oxygen concentrator takes in this air, filters it through a sieve, releases the nitrogen back into the air, and works on the remaining oxygen. This oxygen, compressed and dispensed through a cannula, is 90-95 per cent pure.

 

It uses the surrounding atmosphere to create oxygen-rich air by pulling surrounding air into the oxygen machine, compressing it, purifying it and removing nitrogen and other impurities. The purified, oxygen-rich air is then delivered to the patient.
