What should I do for Oxygen if my machine needs repair?
Oxygen concentrators are machines and unfortunately will eventually fail. If you are going to own your oxygen equipment, you should have a pre-determined backup plan in the event of a power outage or mechanical failure. The first thing you should do in preparation is to have a copy of your oxygen prescription. In the event that your machine does break down, you could contact a local oxygen provider to temporarily rent a machine until yours is fixed. We do have many customers who choose to buy 2 oxygen concentrators so they have a backup. In any event, we are experts in oxygen concentrator repair.
