Hi

Are you on prescription oxygen?

Your provider via your respitory team should be able to meet your needs.

If you are seeking a portable unit they only go 2/3 lpm on continuous.

Hi yes my mam is on no2 constant flow prescription oxygen for when she is walking around. Wanted to get a oxygen concentrator for holiday. The cheapest quote I have had to hire one is £440.

Hi

If your holiday is in the U.K. your provider will arrange delivery of oxygen to your destination.

If going abroad the hire charge will include extra batteries to cover the journey plus fifty percent, which make the cost less exorbitant.

The purchase price is over £2000 plus the extra batteries required.

If you find a secondhand unit you will still have to purchase extra batteries which cost more than the hire charge quoted.

Your mum's o2 provider will supply a portable concentrator for holiday use with a couple of weeks notice for free. It's UK only, but if you were going somewhere else would they really know?

I will try ringing them again tomorrow, but so far I have just been told you can hire them private.
