As an important device for respiratory therapy, oxygen concentrators have undergone many technological innovations since their birth in the 1970s. They have played an important role in medical institutions and gradually entered families and become a daily auxiliary tool for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. With the popularity of portable oxygen concentrators, stable and efficient power solutions have become a key factor in improving equipment performance. As a company focusing on medical power solutions, Quankang Technology is committed to providing reliable and safe power adapters for various medical devices, especially portable medical devices, to help the innovation and development of medical equipment.
Development History of Oxygen Concentrators
The technology of oxygen concentrators can be traced back to the 1970s. Molecular sieve technology is used to separate nitrogen from the air and provide high-purity oxygen. Early oxygen concentrators were large in size and usually only used in hospitals.
In the 1990s, with the advancement of technology, home oxygen concentrators were developed to provide convenient long-term treatment options for patients with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The equipment of this period was more dependent on power supply, requiring the equipment to have a reliable power system to ensure continuous operation.
Since the 2000s, the emergence of portable oxygen concentrators has greatly facilitated patients' daily life and travel. These devices are not only small in size, but also support two modes of continuous oxygen supply and pulse oxygen supply, extending battery life. This makes the power adapter a core factor affecting the performance of the device while ensuring the portability and long battery life of the device.
Modern oxygen concentrators' demand for power adapters
With the continuous advancement of technology, modern oxygen concentrators have higher and higher requirements for intelligence, portability, and continuous power supply. In this process, the performance of the power adapter has become the key to determining the stability and safety of the equipment. Through in-depth analysis of the power requirements of oxygen concentrators, we found that the main requirements for power adapters include:
