Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get A Portable Oxygen Concentrtor 5L Or Above That Is For Rent Or Cheap For Sale

I have Copd and I.m on Hospic. They increased my oxygen to 5-8 but took away my protable oxygen concenrator because Hospic portable oxygen concentrator only goes to 4L. I need one for doing small errands and can't really afford to buy one. Thank You

There is no POC that goes to 5 LPM. The one that hospice gave you that you said goes to 4 LPM did not produce that much O2. The numbers on POCs, all of them, are just numbers and don't equate to LPM. They are just settings. The Inogen G5, which is the most powerful of the POCs only produces 1.26 LPM. Please go to these websites and review the information there:

You will see that POC, even the largest, will only produce O2 at 3 LPM maximum.

Your O2 provider can give you tanks that will allow you to go out and about. At this point, that's the only option you have unless you can get Liquid O2 prescribed.

I saw a machine in internet (am skeptical) that is made in China. Says it is continuous flow and goes to 7, weighs 10 lbs. since only one on internet, and from China, either rip off or scam?
Company name is Moocno.com
Cost was. $700
Have a friend in China trying to investigate company if legit or not.

I have a Sequal Eclipse 5 but it only goes up to 3 continuous. Thats the best i could find. And the battery only lasts about 90 minutes at 3lpm.
