Oxygen Concentrators in Zimbabwe
Available Oxygen Concentrators Models

An oxygen concentrator is a sophisticated medical device designed to deliver supplemental oxygen to individuals requiring it. Unlike oxygen cylinders that store a finite amount of compressed gas, a concentrator extracts oxygen directly from the ambient air around it. It works by taking in room air (which is approximately 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases) and passing it through a sieve material. This material selectively filters out nitrogen and other impurities, leaving behind a stream of highly concentrated oxygen (typically 87% to 96% purity) at a prescribed flow rate. This purified oxygen is then delivered to the patient via a nasal cannula or mask.

The primary function of an oxygen concentrator is to provide a continuous, safe, and reliable source of medical-grade oxygen for patients experiencing conditions that impair their ability to obtain sufficient oxygen from breathing normal air. This makes them indispensable in both clinical settings and for home-based respiratory care.

In Zimbabwe, oxygen concentrators are vital for a range of healthcare facilities, ensuring critical respiratory support is available where it's most needed. Their portability and efficiency make them ideal for diverse clinical settings, from large urban hospitals to smaller rural clinics. These devices are particularly indispensable in departments dealing with acute and chronic respiratory conditions, as well as in emergency care situations.

Ensuring your oxygen concentrator is optimally set up is crucial for reliable and efficient performance. Our expert installation process in Zimbabwe is designed to be thorough, efficient, and compliant with all necessary standards. We guide you through every step, from preparing your facility to final calibration.

Site Preparation: Before delivery, we'll advise on the ideal location for your oxygen concentrator. This typically involves selecting a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources and flammable materials. Adequate space is required for easy access for operation, maintenance, and to allow for proper airflow around the unit. Ensure a stable, level surface and access to a reliable power source.

Delivery and Unpacking: Our trained technicians will deliver your oxygen concentrator directly to your specified location. Upon arrival, the unit will be carefully unpacked, and a thorough visual inspection will be conducted to ensure no damage occurred during transit. All accessories and components will be accounted for.

Installation Steps: The installation itself is a systematic process:

• Positioning the Unit: The concentrator will be placed in the pre-determined, prepared location, ensuring stability and optimal airflow.

• Connecting Accessories: Humidifier bottles (if applicable), oxygen tubing, and nasal cannulas or masks will be connected securely.

• Power Connection: The unit will be plugged into a suitable and grounded electrical outlet.

• Initial System Check: A preliminary power-on test will be performed to verify the unit's basic functionality.

Calibration and Testing: Post-installation, rigorous calibration and testing are essential:

• Oxygen Purity Measurement: Using specialized equipment, our technicians will verify that the concentrator is delivering oxygen at the required purity levels (typically 90% or higher).

• Flow Rate Verification: The output flow rate will be precisely adjusted and confirmed to meet the prescribed setting.

• Alarm System Test: All safety features and alarm systems, including low oxygen concentration and power failure alarms, will be tested to ensure they are functioning correctly.

• User Training: Our team will provide a comprehensive orientation to your staff on the proper operation, daily checks, and basic maintenance of the oxygen concentrator.

Our commitment is to ensure your oxygen concentrator is installed correctly, calibrated accurately, and ready for immediate, safe, and effective use in your Zimbabwean healthcare setting.

The cost of oxygen concentrators in Zimbabwe can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the brand, model, flow rate, features, and whether the unit is new or refurbished. As of late 2023 and early 2024, you can expect to find options ranging from approximately ZWL $4,000 to ZWL $25,000+ for new portable and stationary units. Refurbished machines may fall into a lower price bracket, offering a more budget-friendly alternative. It's important to note that these are general estimates, and actual prices will fluctuate based on the supplier and current market conditions.
