The Invacare Platinum 10LPM is a very affordable, extremely reliable 10 LPM in home - stationary oxygen concentrator unit that is “MADE IN AMERICA “ in either the Florida or Ohio assembly plant.
Weighing in at 55 pounds, it is a very durable unit that fits into most any space. It has a built in rugged handle on the top of the machine, and features four large caster wheels which allows for ease of movement and mobility.
This Oxygen Concentrator has an adjustable flow meter which ranges from .5 LPM to 10 LPM that is adjustable in ½ LPM increments which can accommodate the various needs of most oxygen end users.
The Invacare Platinum is designed to reliably deliver 87% to 93% oxygen purity levels while in operation at any setting.
The Platinum is very energy efficient and economical to operate as is uses on average only 585 watts of power. The advanced design of the "XL" Extra Life 2650 series Thomas compressor allows the Platinum to run cooler which translates into an average 20% extra longevity.
This Oxygen Concentrator will provide you with several years of safe, reliable and trouble free service and is designed to operate effortlessly and efficiently on a 24/7 basis.
The sound level of the Platinum is only 58dbA. Utilizing springs as vibration mounts instead of rubber mounts in previous versions, this means that Platinum is significantly quieter than earlier models of Oxygen Concentrators which were louder, heavier and cumbersome.
The maintenance for the Invacare Platinum Oxygen Concentrator is exceptionally minimal and designed to be easy to maintain. On either side of the Oxygen Concentrator is a foam filter that is placed inside a recess. Simply remove the filter from the recessed area and clean it in your sink once a week. Let it air dry, and replace it. Annually, you will replace the foam filter as well as the plastic HEPA filter located behind the left side access door. There is also a Bacteria filter inside the machine, located behind the flow meter. While it is a "lifetime filter" designed to be used for 20,000 hours, we do include a new one with our replacement Filter Kits. No tools are needed for the filter changes, unless you decide to change the internal Bacteria filter. Then you will need a #2 size Phillips head screw driver to remove the cover. Total time to change all the filters is about 10 minutes.
The Invacare Platinum is available with a humidifier bottle option, that is used with distilled water only. This humidification moistens the high purity oxygenated air so that it minimizes the discomfort to the patients nose and throat from the air being to dry.
This oxygen concentrator is designed for home settings or at any location where a long life stationary unit can be used which operates on 120 VAC and 60 HZ.
The concentrator should never be used in conjunction with extension cords, power strips or surge protectors as it will interfere with the proper operation and potentially cause the concentrator to overheat or have other operational issues.
SenseO2 (Oxygen percentage Indicator) is an optional feature available for the Invacare Platinum Oxygen Concentrator. The built in sensor ultrasonically measures the purity of output oxygen, to ensure that a safe oxygen level is always maintained while the Oxygen Concentrator is running. If the output of the Oxygen Concentrator drops below 87%, the green "normal" light will switch to a yellow "low o2" light will turn on. The Oxygen Concentrator will provide a visual and audible alarm to indicate that there is an unsafe condition. The user should contact OxygenPlus Customer Service to facilitate repairs or replacement of the machine.
Periodically, you will want to clean the exterior of your Oxygen Concentrator to keep it looking as well as it runs. It is important that you unplug the machine while cleaning it. Using a damp cloth, gently wipe the exterior of the machine. Using cleaning tools such as cotton swabs is perfectly okay, to clean the hard to reach areas. If using a medical disinfectant, make sure to follow all manufacturers instructions. Let the machine air dry before operation, as excess moisture may impare the proper operation of the device.
What percentage of oxygen does an Oxygen Concentrator deliver?
Oxygen Concentrators are designed to reliably deliver 90% oxygen +/- 3% at any flow rate. This purity has been tested to be clinically acceptable for long-term oxygen therapy.
How often should I clean filters and other accessories?
If equipped, the foam Cabinet Filter on your Oxygen Concentrator should be rinsed in your sink every week. Let it air dry before placing back in the Oxygen Concentrator. The bubble humidifier should be washed daily using a mild detergent and hot water. Tubing, Cannulas, etc are not to be cleaned. Simply dispose of and replace as needed.
Can I purchase a Low Flow (Pediatric) meter for my Oxygen Concentrator?
Most Oxygen Concentrators can be ordered with, or retrofit with a Pediatric Flor Meter. Please call for availability.
What length of Oxygen Tubing can I use with my Oxygen Concentrator?
The maximum recommendation is not to exceed a Bubble Humidifier, a 50 foot long extension hose, and a 7 foot long Nasal Cannula
How can I transport an Oxygen Concentrator in the car?
The optimum way to transport an Oxygen Concentrator is to buckle it in to the back seat, or place it on the rear floor of your vehicle. If necessary, you can safely lay it on it's back in the trunk if it is securely held in place.
Can I use my Oxygen Concentrator overseas?
The Oxygen Concentrators listed on this site are made specifically for US Voltage requirements, which is 110 Volts and 60Hz
What is Turn Down technology?
This Oxygen Concentrator incorporates Turn Down technology. The internal Circuit Board constantly monitors the flow rate and will slow down the compressor at lower Flow Rates. As a result the unit runs cooler and less power is consumed. In turn, you will have a lower power bill, and the Oxygen Concentrator should run longer.
How can I tell if the oxygen purity is good?
If equipped with a Low Purity Sensor, as long as the Green LED light is illuminated, you know that the Oxygen Concentrator is making at least 85% purity Oxygen. If for any reason the Purity falls below therapeutic levels, the Yellow LED light will illuminate. Contact your provider if you notice this.
Invacare looks to be the gold standard for home concentrators. This is my second 10 LPM purchase from OxygenPlusMedical. I found them easy to work with, very accommodating and stand behind their work. I used to purchase refurbished O2 products locally. Now OxygenPlusMedical is my go to supplier.
Thank you for the review!
Excellent customer service. I purchased this concentrator for lampworking. The owner of this business helped me select the most appropriate unit for my needs and torch. He even made sure he shipped it before he went on vacation! The concentrator arrived a few days after ordering. It works fantastic!! No more lugging around a heavy oxygen tank for refill. Additionally, he told me this unit is able to fill tanks if I purchase the adapter. If my production of beads grows this unit can grow with me. It’s a big investment but well worth it! I highly recommend this business. My lampworking instructor at William Holland school recommended OxygenPlus and I’m glad she did.
Thank you so much for the review :)
Works really well, no issues or glitches. Very satisfied with this Concentrator.
Thank you for your review!
Really good experience. The Fed Ex shipping makes all the difference. Once you get this great product your oxygen problem is solved.
What a nice review!
Our experience with the Invacare oxygen condenser has been excellent. It’s a newer model than supplied by Lincare
