The weather is just cool enough to go camping with your oxygen concentrator. So gear up, pack your sleeping bag and your portable oxygen concentrator, and remember these tips for your fall camping trip!
Charging Your Concentrator
Of course, power is the most important factor to consider when camping with an oxygen concentrator. There are a few different solutions that will allow you to enjoy your camping trip, while still getting the supplemental oxygen you need.
- Bring spare batteries. Some portable oxygen concentrators come with backup batteries and some do not. You can order a spare battery from Oxygen Always for the camping trip, but it is a good idea to have a backup for future emergencies as well.
- Some portable oxygen concentrators like the AirSep Focus and Respironic SimplyGo have DC/AC charging cables, which means they can be recharged using an outlet in a car. You can simply start the car and recharge your device for an hour or so.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- You should pay close attention to the state of your device when you go camping with an oxygen concentrator. You should have a small tool kit or repair kit for your portable oxygen concentrator in your car or somewhere close at all times.
- Make sure that the air intake slots are clean and clear. Use wipes to clean your oxygen concentrator, and maybe a soft brush to get any dirt or debris from getting stuck and blocking air flow during your camping trip.
- If your portable oxygen concentrator did not come with a bag or you have lost yours, this would be a great time to order another one from Oxygen Always. It is best to keep your device safe during the trip.
