Are you prepared for a disaster?
The huge mess caused in New York and along the eastern coast by Hurricane Sandy has called to attention the necessity of being prepared for any event, especially when it comes to your personal healthcare. In New York City for example people have been waiting for weeks in the bitter cold for the electric companies to get the power back on. And if you are a person who relies on supplemental oxygen, how are you going to get your oxygen? The roads could be blocked by debris and you only have so much battery life for your Portable Oxygen Concentrator. Who knows how long it will take for the electric companies to get the power back on. Fortunately there is a solution to this problem that will allow you to be more prepared when it comes to home oxygen care.
Although many people prefer the convenience of a Portable Oxygen Concentrator that they can simply carry around with them, sometimes people choose to purchase a different type of Home Oxygen Compressor called a HomeFill Oxygen Compressor. The HomeFill Oxygen Compressor created by Invacare has revolutionized home oxygen by allowing people who need supplemental oxygen to fill their own oxygen cylinders easily and safely from the comfort of their own home.
If there was ever a disaster in your area it would be nice to have peace of mind, by having some extra oxygen in storage.
Here are some other reasons why you might choose to purchase a HomeFill Oxygen Compressor:
- The HomeFill Compressor is generally cheaper than Portable Oxygen Concentrators. On Amazon.com the Portable Oxygen Concentrator is listed as $2,995 while the HomeFill system is only $1,495. You save $1,500 dollars!
- The ability to fill their own cylinders gives patients greater independence and freedom. You won’t have to pay for deliveries and you won’t have to wait for your oxygen to be delivered.
- Although Amazon doesn't sell Oxygen Cylinders separately at this time, you can still buy extra cylinders and fill them for storage. You will have to find the cylinders that can fit into the HomeFill System and the tanks that are specially equipped to be filled by the HomeFill System. Common Cylinder sizes that are accepted are ML4, ML6, and M9.
- People who have purchased the HomeFill Oxygen Compressor can find accessories to help them store and carry their oxygen tanks with them so that they can maintain their mobility.
