What is the Oxygen
Concentrator
The air we breathe contains approximately 21%
oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gasses. In the
VisionAire oxygen concentrator, room air is drawn
into the machine through the air intakes. It then
passes through an adsorbent material called molec-
ular sieve. This material separates the oxygen from
the nitrogen and allows only the oxygen to pass
through. The result is a flow of high-concentration
oxygen delivered to the user.
