WARNING : Portable Oxygen Concentrator's Do not Filter out covid-19 If you use them, they just suck the air around you. Up into your Nose??? I just found this out today. I am going to use my Oxygen Tank next time I have to go to the store. I am trying to find a way to put a filter from my Mask to cover the Filter on my Concentrator ?

This is a Re-post of mine , I think it is Important., enough to post Again.

This is so obvious now you've posted it - and I never saw your first post - but I would never have thought of it. So thanks for posting, well worth doing so a second time. :)

I think skischool posted about this some time ago including reasons not to cover the filter on the machine. May be worth you looking that post up.

i certainly would not have recommended covering a filter on a portable o2 concentrator though i would be inclined to use a cylinder when avaiable and practical to do so .🙃

Hi ski's, I was replying to reldong2 about their mention of of covering the filter.

No probs,it is strange how nobody has addressed the issue to the best of my knowledge and maybe there is no solution other than using cylinders?

I think that cylinders may be the safest option, certainly until the pandemic is brought under control.
