Thank you for the video. I didn't get any information on the filter when it was dropped off for my mom. Didn't even know about the humidifier option, and she just got a nosebleed. Thank you for the info
Glad it helped! Stay safe.
It's not as loud as some but louder than some others. Quieter than my window air conditioner. It weighs 31 pounds. It does give off a lot of heat. It draws 350 watts on any setting so your electric bill will go up about $45-$50 a month, if it's running 24/7. The expensive compressor inside burnt out shortly after 12000 hours on 4 different new units. For the price of these, I would have expected at least a 36000 hour compressor.
But a good mechanic,,,i like it
Hi, I would like to know whether the type of compressor used. Is it an oil free type ?
How many continous hour it can run ? Does it need a rest after certain hours ? My mom needs continous 4 lt oxygen.
Where can I obtain spare or service parts for the Phillips Everflo Concentrator is South Africa....? Where can I have it serviced or repaired?
show how to change the filter
Hi. Could you please explain to me what is the purpouse of the Oxygen Percentage Indicator (OPI) and what we should do if the alarm activates?. Thanks.
Oxygen Percentage Indicator (OPI) on Respironics EverFlo Q alerts the user when the oxygen purity level goes below 82%. Whereas other Non-OPI models will alert only when the oxygen purity has impeded, below 70%. OPI units give patients a heads up that a repair will be soon required and OPI helps with quick repairs.
If yellow LED lights up continuously with no other alarms, it is a OPI alert that repairs will soon be required. Though you can continue to use the unit.
I have an Invacare Platinum 10 and it is LOUD as hell. It sounds like an old, slightly worn down window air conditioner. I keep reading the EverFlo Q is significantly quieter, but a few reviews and comments say it is just as loud (which I doubt) as the Invacare model is much older and larger.
Invacare Platinum 10 is a powerful machine and produces up to 10 liters of oxygen per minute. It produces sound at less than 58 dB. Whereas, EveFlo Q is quieter than 40 dB. However, EverFlo Q can produce oxygen up to only 5 lpm.
While sleeping, some of our patients keep the oxygen concentrator outside the room and administer oxygen via long tubing if noise is an issue.
If you are experiencing an unusual level of noise, we suggest you contact your equipment provider.
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore I understand. Thank you for your clarification.
Another question: Why do the 10lpm models max out at around 5lpm when a bubble humidifier is attached? If that is the case for all O2 concentrators in this class, why can't a quieter 5lpm model be used instead? I am prescribed 10lpm (which maxes out at 5lpm with humidifier), but I tried using a 5lpm EverFlo Q (which maxes out at 4.5lpm when humidifier is attached) and SpO2 is consistently at 100% and feel fine.
A good review would verify the flow rate LPM at different settings
Everflo will lit up the alert light if the flow is obstructed or not as it should be.
This VS krober o2? thanks
Hi thanks for sharing your knowledge. My concentrator after 15 minutes shows a red LED and a beep. I read that the alert is due to low oxygen levels. What could be done in this case?
Turn off the device wait for 5 minutes and restart. If the error persists, contact customer support.
When I should replace the filter? Could you please, how frequency I need to do maintanance in my equipment and how parts I need to replace?
Philips oxygen concentrator czcams.com/video/DJtyvQqE7Qg/video.html
The unit will tell you when it's time to replace the filter by illuminating the yellow light continuously. To learn more on EverFlo maintenance, please check out our blog: www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/blog/home-oxygen-concentrator-maintenance/
Dear sir thanks for video. I purchased Phillips everflo 5 Ltr, but not received dehumidifier along with . Do I need to purchase separate .
Yes, humidifier kit is an add-on purchase. You can find the humidifier connector tube in the filter compartment at the back of the unit.
Is there a video on how to replace the Sieve Beds - Respironics EverFlo
Everflo sieve beds are not user-replaceable. Talk to our Oxygen Specialist for a free consultation, please give us a call at 888-909-1477.
It makes a Quishhh Cuh sound about every 4 seconds. Note: if you turn the volume down below 1 liter, it may trigger a red light and beeps once in a while. Supposedly this can be ignored as long as it doesn't go on too long.
I got 5 LT Philips Respironics EverFlo Oxygen Concentrator, however, the fuse got shot as soon as I started it, I did use the correct voltage convertor, can you please suggest what is the best way to get this repaired?
Please contact local repair center, they can assist you better for this issue.
I need to buy an oxygen concentrator Everflo with OPI. It needs to have a "continuous flow" that works with my ozone generator to ozonate oils. If I install a pediatric low flow regulator on the unit, It won't get damaged with time, since the oxygen flow on the pediatric regulator is so low?
Our Oxygen Specialist would be happy to help you out with your requirements. Please give us a call at (866) 993-8067.
It's quieter than generic ones, we have been using it for 2 years now and it's 24/7 full time.
Do you know what the small little window of numbers on the right side is???
Numbers tell you the oxygen flow rate in liters per minute.
@@EightyNinthZombie The small "odometer-style" meter is the number of hours the unit has been powered on.
Favor please...
what it means if the orange linght is ON'?
it is advisable to be used 24'hrs or up'?
thank you...
If your giving a concentrator do you just clean it and plug it up and use it ,
Hi. Please can you help me, i have a problem with the flow meter: the black ball is blocked at the top and don't move up and down when turning the flow button.
We'd recommend sending the unit in for repairs. The flow meter, probably, needs to be changed. Before you send the unit in try the flowing workaround. Remove the tubing from the unit, turn the unit on, ensure that oxygen is flowing from the nozzle on the unit, block the nozzle with your finger for 5 seconds, and remove the finger. This might help to free up the ball.
Does it work for apnea? Snore problems?
Oxygen concentrators such as this one Everflo, help with hypoxia (deficiency of blood oxygen saturation). What you are looking for is called CPAP machine. CPAP machines help with sleep apnea. Also, CPAP machine and Oxygen Concentrator can be used together. Read more: www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/blog/the-differences-between-oxygen-concentrators-and-cpap-machines/
how long maxiumum do you suggest to turn it on non stop?
Respironics Everflo and Everflo Q are capable of 24 hour operation. However, note that, Oxygen generated by this concentrator is supplemental and should not be considered life supporting or life sustaining.
Hi the sound and the red triangle 🔺️ ?
The device has detected a system malfunction. Turn off the device wait for 5 minutes and restart. If the error persists, contact your equipment provider.
Hi I got this machine six months ago. Accidentally plugged it in 220voltage. It’s not showing any light indicators and not working just making beeping sound when I plug it in 110v socket. Is there any circuit breaker in the mechine. I am in very need of this mechine please help me out.
Please get your unit checked at a service center.
How do you change the filter(s), and how often?
You can find Everflo maintenance information here: www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/blog/home-oxygen-concentrator-maintenance/#:~:text=Respironics%20EverFlo%20Maintenance
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore Thank You!
I have it and it keeps beeping with the orange light or even red light ... and i set the water to minimum or a little higher. So what does this mean plz
Please contact your equipment provider for repairs options.
How does one measure the oxygen intake of the patient? Like for example the setting is at 02 liters and my mum needed it throughout the night. I need to inform the doctor how much is the intake of my mum in 24 hours?
On Everflo, setting of 2 means two liters per minute (LPM). So, if your mom used oxygen for 8 hours, you can say that she took 2 LPM for 8 hours.
Whats the counter on the side for, is it hours?
Yes, it tells how many hours the unit has been used.
What if the ball stop floating? What could be the problem? THe blower is definitely running.
Please contact your equipment provider. They'll help you out with the issue.
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore means it's a fault.. I was going to purchase one
nobody that sells these units mentions the noise levels at higher flow rates. Some of us need that so it will also be an issue. They just mention level 2 I'd like to know what the noise level is at level 5.
I would, too.
Does it provide 90+ purity at 5L oxygen flowrate ?
Philips Respironics Everflo and Everflo Q provide medical-grade oxygen at all flow rates. It provides 93% ± 3% from 0.5 to 5 LPM.
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore When the airflow is low the higher is the concentration of oxygen. So you said that the Everflo produces 93% ± 3% at 5LMP?
I think it run my light bill up,,,
Is it energy affection ?
Everflo is energy efficient and quiet.
Is it normal for the humidifier to lose water over a period of a few hours? I fill in the water to max but after 8 hours almost 30 percent is gone. I checked all the tubes and the machine but there is no leakage so where does the water disappear?
Oxygen supplied without a humidifier is dry. Humidifier increases the moisture level. The air that passes through the humidifier collects water vapor from the water. So, the humidifier will lose water over time.
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore thank you for your answer!
Can we use this 24*7?
Respironics Everflo / Everflo Q can be used 24x7.
Can we use this 24*7
Yes, you can use Respironics Everflo Q 24x7.
I have a Question, I may be purchasing one of these units used, for a couple of hundred bucks.... My question is there anything I should look out for as far as common problems, also in your opinion what do ya think the long term service life of this resperonics 02 generator is ????
Two things you must check: A) Whether it'll fulfill user's medical needs and B) Warranty on the unit.
I was expecting maintenance and cleaning guide and not ONLY DESCRIPTION of the machine
Respironics Everflo maintenance is pretty easy as this unit requires low maintenance. Here's how to maintain your Everflo or EverfloQ:
1. Weekly clean the outer case with a medical disinfectant.
2. Use distilled water in the humidifier bottle. Use a non-scented, lotion-free liquid dish detergent. If you use tap water in your Bubble Humidifier, clean the Bubble Humidifier every 3 days to help prevent the buildup of mineral deposits. Do not use bleach or ammonia solutions to clean your device.
3. Wash nasal prongs with liquid soap and thoroughly rinse them once or twice a week. Replace them every two weeks.
4. The HEPA Air Inlet filter needs to be replaced every two or three years which is located behind the back filter door.
Thank you for your tutorial I have a machine similar to that only question I have is can this machine go in the storage area of a airplane you know where the luggage go at when you travel I'm not talking about on the plane where I'm sitting at I need to travel and besides traveling in a car I know I can do but what about airplanes there's no one can seem to give me good answer???🤔🤨😕🤦🤷🙎
Oxygen concentrators shouldn't be a problem for check-in in airlines. They do not store oxygen. And home oxygen concentrators do not even have batteries.
Why does the red warning light come on and the unit beeps after some hours running, If the unit is switched off for a few minutes and then switched on again it works OK again for another few hours and then the red warning light and constant beep comes back again?
Same problem with me
If the red LED illuminates continuously and the
audible alarm is sounding continuously, then the device has detected a system malfunction.
Immediately turn off the device and wait 5 minutes. Restart the device. lf the condition persists turn the unit off, conned to a back up oxygen source, and call your home care provider.
How about if the orange light illuminates what could be the problem
Hi how many minutes can we use it for 1 person and how many times
Respironics Everflo can be used 24 x 7.
@@Oxygenconcentratorstore thank you
How do you know if it’s set at “2”, is the ball suppose to be in the middle of the line or above the line? Thank you
The middle of the ball determines what liter flow the concentrator is on.
Can you crank it past 5 lpm?
The unit will not supply higher that 5LPM. However, the user can use a small accessory called Oxymizer Oxygen Pendant. It converse the oxygen from the device and supplies when the user inhales. This enhances the amount of oxygen user receives. You can shop it here: www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/oxymizer-conserver-pendant-style-p224/
How can I refill the water
pour water in it
Turn the unit off,
Remove the tubes,
Deattach the humidifier bottle,
Open the humidifier bottle cap,
Refill the bottle with water,
Close the humidifier bottle cap,
Secure the humidifier bottle back to the unit,
Attach the tubes, and
The unit is ready to use.

How to clean filter
If your HEPA filter is damaged or worn out, please replace it. Respironics Everflo contains no user-serviceable parts.
Would this be a good idea to get for prepping for the corona virus ? I’m worried about getting it or that I already have it and my mums 70 and the telehealth lines in Toronto are already completely over loaded so I don’t understand how anyone would receive treatment
A Person, we understand your concern regarding the novel coronavirus. Oxygen concentrators are medical equipment and can be purchased only through a doctor's prescription. The doctor will prescribe the appropriate oxygen liter flow and flow type to maintain the blood oxygen saturation. Should you have any question, please feel free to call us at +1 (888) 387-5914
American Medical Sales and Rentals they have them on kijiji where I live .
We never suggest using supplemental oxygen without a doctor's prescription. I'd suggest reading these articles before going for it.

Ever flo is not battery 🔋 operated. What is another option?
Our Oxygen Specialist would be happy to help you out with your requirements. Please give us a call at (866) 993-8067.
Can it go to its full capacity of 5l per minute?? And for how much duration on 5L per min
Everflo can supply oxygen at 5 liters per minute 24x7 while connected to a wall outlet.
I just got one, and it is extreamly noisy. There must be something wrong with it. Even placed in another bedroom, it keep us awake more or less the whole night.
Please contact your equipment provider (where you purchased the concentrator from) or the manufacturer to get your unit serviced.
WHAT OR THEY USE FOR HOW DO YOU USE IT?
Oxygen Concentrators provide medical-grade oxygen for oxygen therapy.
ah - I think it weighs 31 lbs... but who's counting?
Everflo Q weighs 31 pounds, that is correct.
the man who brought mine out to my home didnt bring me no bottle with mine or a book think he gave me used one so wrong
Can we use this 24*7?
still very loud, no way you can sleep with it next to you
@RedNitro_Hacks Which quieter concentrator do you use ?
We cannot exactly demonstrate how loud the unit will be as the video volume depends on your device's audio settings. Please feel free to check the unit out in our store.
very little tangible information in a 9 minute video...

There is something extremely creepy and unnerving about this to me. My mom is a baby boomer, and like many other boomers, she spent about 50 years smoking 10 packs of cigarettes a day, which is how we wound up with this machine in our house. I find the "small and quiet" branding to be almost insulting. This thing is the size of my server PC and when it is running at night, it is all you can hear in the house. When I was a little younger I was afraid of the noise it made so I never left my room at night to use the bathroom or get water.
The unnerving part is that my mom is obviously going to die an early death, and she uses this machine to "prolong" it. Basically, the machine cheats death for people about to die, but in the video, the host is talking about it so calmly like it is a good machine. He makes it seem like something you want to have in your home. I guess that if you had to have one, yes, this is preferable to the large tan machine, but I wouldn't _want_ this or any machine in my home anyway. It's a large reminder that you're dying. Who wants that?
My mom has been to the hospital several times because of her lungs. I feel detached from her, like, "either die or don't die - but don't do both", and this video, to me anyway, seems like it embraces doing both. It is a similar feeling to seeing Soylent Green being promoted to people as healthy - I mean yeah I guess, but why? I've come to hate this machine and everything it stands for, and this video is slightly scary for acting like nothing is wrong with needing the device.
I'm sure there are probably plenty of other reasons a person might want or need this machine. I'm not trying to disrespect them, the people who made this video, or the engineers who made the product. Hell, I go to a trade school, engineering is super cool to me, like building a machine to cheat death for a while - I just wish we didn't have to. As much as I love cool inventions, humans are born organic and it is my belief that they should die organic without being tethered to any contraption. I'd be genuinely curious to know about other reasons to buy this, like, does it help blood-oxygen? Do you need it for the rest of your life? I'm just writing this from _my_ prospective. Maybe you can need this machine and still be healthy and not at risk of dying, but I wouldn't know, the video is just off-putting because of the circumstances around it to me. I am _not_ saying that the machine could kill you or that anyone who uses it is going to die.
Hi I am sorry you feel the way you do about this . And I own and use this unit everyday 24 hours a day when i am home . I have coped and it helps me with my blood oxygen levels . I find it to be quiet and it is far better than the other units I have tried . And the man that is in this video is awesome . I have met him and would recommend him to everyone I know that need this kind of equipment . I bought my unit out right with no insurance and he was my sales rep. He is knowledgeable in this kind of equipment . He even kept me focused when there was a distraction in the office . lol. As far as you saying you don't like this type of equipment and you thoughts on just prolonging death . Those are your thought and it makes you sound like your upset that this unit is keeping your mother from dying. What about the other people in your mothers life . That are happy to have her alive and have more time with her . Do there feeling matter to you . If I didn't have this machine I would most likely die . But it would be a while before I did and I would surfer everyday till I did die . And I would not want my loved ones to watch me suffer in that way . Do you want to watch your mother suffer when she does not have to . To me you sound like a self centered person that only cares about yourself and could careless if you watch others suffer . If truth be told I bet you are upset because its keeping you from getting the benefit of your mothers estate . But if that is the case remember greed is organic.
So you'd rather your mother die a slow painful death? Your comment is unsettling to me. I tried to look at the situation from your point of view and I still am unable to wrap my mind around your thought process on this. I never leave comments on anything. Honestly this is probably my 3rd time ever commenting on any social media platform. I just had to say something because your comment is very disturbing and I feel so sorry for your mother that you look at her the way you do. I can only hope and pray that she doesn't know that you wish she would just die already and get it over with. I sure hope she has family that actually love her and truly care about her and her well being. You need Jesus!
