Device Overview
About Your Live Active Five Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC)
The Live Active Five POC uses a molecular sieve and vacuum pressure swing adsorption
methodology to produce the oxygen gas output. Ambient air enters the device, is filtered
and then compressed. This compressed air is then directed into nitrogen adsorbing sieve
beds. Concentrated oxygen exits the opposite end of the sieve bed and is directed into
an oxygen reservoir from which it is delivered to the user.
The oxygen purity level of the output gas ranges from 87% to 95.5%. The oxygen is
delivered to the user through the use of a nasal cannula. A pulse dose delivery method
is used. The device detects the start of user inhalation and delivers a measured pulse
of oxygen. No further oxygen is delivered until the next user inhalation is detected. The
volume of oxygen delivered each minute is a fixed amount based on the selected pulse
flow setting. The volume of each oxygen pulse will vary with the user’s breath rate such
that the fixed minute volume is maintained.
