What is COPD?
COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It can cause shortness of breath and low oxygen levels, making everyday activities more difficult.
While existing lung damage cannot be reversed, proper treatment and supplemental oxygen can help support your health, breathing, and everyday activity.

Stationary oxygen concentrators plug into a power supply and are most commonly used while the patient is at home. Oxygen concentrators take in the surrounding air, runs the air through filters and compresses it. This compression and filtering produces air with extremely high levels of oxygen.
Portable oxygen concentrators plug into a power supply and are most commonly used while the patient is at home. Oxygen concentrators take in the surrounding air, runs the air through filters and compresses it. This compression and filtering produces air with extremely high levels of oxygen.
The HomeFill system includes two parts, a Stationary Oxygen Concentrator and a tank filling station. The Stationary Oxygen Concentrator is used in the home environment and the tank filling station can fill small portable tanks for taking when doing activities outside the house. The small tanks can last up to five hours, and you are provided with two tanks. With the HomeFill system you don’t need to have technicians deliver oxygen to your home.
Large tanks filled with concentrated oxygen can be stored in your house. Tanks can be exchanged at New West Medical.
