Are All Portable Oxygen Concentrators Pulse-Flow? Here’s What You Need to Know

Choosing the right portable oxygen concentrator can be challenging, especially with different flow options like pulse flow and continuous flow. Understanding these options will help you pick the device that fits your lifestyle, activity level, and breathing needs. In this guide, we’ll explain the difference between pulse flow and continuous flow, compare the VARON VP-2 and VP-6 models, and give you tips to make an informed choice.

What Are Pulse Flow and Continuous Flow?

A pulse flow device delivers oxygen in short bursts when it senses your inhalation. This approach saves energy, keeps the device lightweight, and is ideal for users who want mobility and convenience.

Continuous flow, on the other hand, provides oxygen continuously regardless of your breathing pattern. This ensures a steady flow, which is beneficial if you need a constant supply.

Not All Portable Oxygen Concentrators Use Pulse Flow

Many assume all portable oxygen concentrators work in pulse flow mode, but this isn’t true. For example:

• VARON VP-2: Pulse flow only

• VARON VP-6: Continuous flow

Here’s a quick comparison table to help you decide:

Feature	VARON VP-2 (Pulse Flow)	VARON VP-6 (Continuous Flow)
Oxygen Flow	1–6 setting adjustable	1–6 setting adjustable
Oxygen Concentration	93% ±3%	90% at setting one
Weight	4.85 lbs	7.9 lbs
Battery	Replaceable 6360mAh	Replaceable 5200mAh
Noise Level	≤58 dB(A)	≤45 dB(A)
Modes	Sensor & Auto	Continuous + Nebulizer
Travel-Friendly	Ultra-lightweight	Compact & portable
Ideal Use	Daily mobility & outdoor activities	Consistent support at home or on the go

How to Choose the Right Portable Oxygen Concentrator

Selecting the right device depends on your lifestyle and oxygen needs. Here are some key points:

• For users who value mobility: VP-2 is ultra-lightweight, making it easy to carry on walks, shopping, or short trips.

• For users who need continuous support: VP-6 ensures steady oxygen flow and includes a built-in nebulizer for added versatility.

• For users who value stable high oxygen: VARON VP-2 has a stable 93 ±3% oxygen concentrator at 1-6 setting,  VARON VP-6 has 90% oxygen concentrator only at 1 setting.

• Flow settings: Both devices offer adjustable flow from 1–6, but VP-6 can support continuous flow for extended comfort.

• Battery & portability: VP-2’s longer-lasting battery and lower weight make it ideal for daily mobility, while VP-6 is slightly heavier but offers continuous delivery.

Usage and Maintenance Tips

Keeping your device clean and functional is easy with a few simple steps:

• Nasal cannula: Clean weekly. Replace every 2–6 months depending on usage.

• Air intake filter: Replace every 100–200 hours or if visibly dirty.

• Device cleaning: Wipe the surface and vents regularly to remove dust and dirt.

• Battery care: Ensure proper charging and keep spare batteries ready for uninterrupted oxygen support.
