Thanks for the post. Please email our technical service team at techservice.global@caireinc.com to get assistance.

I am a "retainer". In other words oxygen I breathe in is not easily exhaled. Pulse flow doesn't give me enough. I have an Inogen and struggle. I'm good if I sit. But walking is out. I do fine continual 5. Sometimes I need to do some pursed lip breathing and exhale because of trapped CO2. I don't want an alarm telling me it' not detecting a breath. It's complicated to explain. I need continual. How close to continual will this machine mimic it. Sales agent seems to think the technology will be my ticket.

Thanks so much for posting. The FreeStyle Comfort does not supply continuous flow oxygen, however it will as you described pulse oxygen if the no breath alert is triggered. This will continue until a breath is sensed. See the included link on how it compared to other portable oxygen concentrators in a recent bench top study - www.caireinc.com/freestyle-comfort-excels-in-poc-comparison-study/ . I would consult with your physician on what device and setting is right for you based on your prescription requirements. If you happen to track your pulse ox while using your portable oxygen concentrator - I would share this information with the provider. This can all help determine what delivery system is best for you. CAIRE does manufacture the Eclipse 5 which is a transportable oxygen concentrator offering 1-3 LPM. This unit is not wearable, but is attached to a wheeled cart. For more information visit www.caireinc.com/product/eclipse-5/ .

Does it require distilled water?

Thanks for the post. The FreeStyle Comfort does not operate with or require water for operation.

Hi There's a 7-year-old boy who uses the fixed device which has humidifier. If used without the humidifier he gets a nose bleeding because the oxygen makes his nostril skin dry which causes bleeding. For this new portable device which has no water container, does it make up for that humidifier which have been removed from this device?

Thanks for the post. For the smaller portable oxygen concentrators like the FreeStyle Comfort they do not have humification adapters available. However, the Eclipse 5 portable oxygen concentrator which is transportable on wheels does have a humidification adapter kit that can be added to the unit. This is also something that our stationary oxygen concentrators can accommodate. Here is the link to the Eclipse 5 www.caireinc.com/product/eclipse-5/ and on the specifications sheet you can see what this looks like - files.caireinc.com/CutSheets-Lit/ML-CONC0148.pdf Also, here are two stationary oxygen concentrators for at home use - each has a place on the front of the device to hold the humdifier bottle - www.caireinc.com/product/companion-5/ and www.caireinc.com/product/newlife-intensity/ Thanks again for reaching out.
