How oxygen concentrators work, and why visitors to Keystone rent them.
At 9,280 feet, Keystone has about 30% less oxygen in every breath than you're used to at sea level. Most visitors arrive the same day they leave home, without time to adjust. That's why many choose to rent an oxygen concentrator for their stay.
A concentrator draws in room air, concentrates the oxygen to roughly 90–95% and delivers it through a soft nasal cannula. Unlike a tank, it never runs out. The in-home model plugs into a wall outlet and gives continuous flow up to 5 liters per minute. The portable runs on battery or wall power and gives pulse flow up to 5 liters per minute.
Our concentrators are for recreational use at altitude, and no prescription is needed. Bottled medical oxygen is a different product that requires a prescription. If you need medical oxygen, please talk to a doctor.
Yes, with the same care as any oxygen equipment. No smoking, candles or open flames near the machine, the tubing or anyone wearing a cannula, and keep it clear of stoves, fireplaces and space heaters. Your driver shows you where to set it up.
