Unlike a traditional oxygen cylinder, an oxygen concentrator\n        draws air from the surrounding environment, concentrates oxygen and\n        delivers it through a nasal cannula or oxygen mask.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p>\n        Oxygen concentrators are commonly used for homecare, post-hospital\n        recovery and other situations where supplemental oxygen has been\n        prescribed by a healthcare professional.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p>\n        However, an oxygen concentrator should never be treated like an\n        ordinary household appliance.
