Veterinary Oxygen Generator Purchase Guide
Apr. 12, 2022
What is a veterinary oxygen generator?
A veterinary oxygen generator consists of two tanks filled with a sieve, which provides a concentration of 93±3% oxygen for all your on-site equipment that uses oxygen. The veterinary oxygen generator uses the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to create oxygen. During this process, oxygen is separated from the components in the air.
Identify your needs:
To better analyze your oxygen use, try to visualize your clinic's future needs and not your actual oxygen use. For example, do you plan to move, do you expect to enlarge your clinic, or do you soon plan to buy another anesthesia machine, oxygen cage or incubator? Since the veterinary oxygen generator has a long life expectancy, it is essential to plan your purchase with the needs of your clinic in mind.
Although it is rare that all of your equipment is in use at the same time, you should identify your maximum need of oxygen at any given time. This way, you will make sure your veterinary oxygen generator will supply enough oxygen in case of an emergency or during busy periods.

Do you use oxygen cages and/or incubators?

Why would a veterinary oxygen generator be useful in my clinic?
The main advantage of having a veterinary oxygen generator is the savings of up to 80% of your actual oxygen expenses. Generally, we count the payback of a generator from six months to two years depending on the model and your oxygen use*. Having a veterinary oxygen generator in your clinic will avoid dependence on the delivery of cylinder oxygen. These systems will also permit you to provide the newest therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, in veterinary medicine (HBOT). It also eliminates the danger of having liquid oxygen at the facility (LOX). In addition to this, a veterinary oxygen generator is a great contribution to the environment since there are no related CO2 emissions.
What is the lifespan and what maintenance is needed for a veterinary oxygen generator?
We can estimate the lifespan of the compressor between 10 000 and 20 000 hours of use and the lifespan of the sieve about 15 years.
There is not much maintenance needed on these veterinary oxygen generators. We recommend changing the filters every six months. To make the generator work properly, you need to make air changes in the room where the system is installed. The number of air changes per hour will vary on the size of your generator and the size of the room.
