Home Oxygen Concentrators Australia
Oxygen Concentrators Australia — Home Oxygen Therapy | Vectr Medical
Vectr Medical supplies TGA-approved stationary home oxygen concentrators for prescribed long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) across Australia. Our Yuwell oxygen concentrator range is sold and supported by NATA-certified biomedical engineers — we test, calibrate, and certify oxygen delivery equipment for hospitals and aged care facilities.
What Is a Home Oxygen Concentrator?
A home oxygen concentrator extracts oxygen from room air and delivers it continuously at a controlled flow rate — without cylinders, refills, or delivery schedules. For patients prescribed long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), a concentrator is typically a more reliable, lower-cost, and more convenient solution than ongoing cylinder supply.
Concentrators run from a standard Australian 240V power point. Modern units like the Yuwell 8F-5A are quiet enough for bedroom use (≤45 dB) and run 24 hours per day.
Who Needs a Home Oxygen Concentrator?
Home oxygen therapy is prescribed by a respiratory physician or GP for conditions including:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Post-COVID respiratory recovery
- Severe asthma
- Cystic fibrosis
- Heart failure with respiratory component
Oxygen concentrators are medical devices. We strongly recommend obtaining a prescription specifying flow rate (L/min) and daily duration from your doctor or respiratory specialist before purchasing.
Stationary vs Portable Oxygen Concentrators
- Stationary concentrators (our current range): designed for home use, continuous flow, higher output (3–5 L/min). Run from wall power. Best for home-based therapy where the patient doesn’t need mobility during treatment.
- Portable concentrators: smaller, battery-powered, for travel and mobility. Lower maximum flow rates. Contact us if you need portable options — we can source these on request.
Our Oxygen Concentrator Range
- Yuwell 8F-5A — 5 L/min, TGA-approved, ≤45 dB. For patients prescribed up to 5 L/min flow. $1,100.
- Yuwell 8F-3W — 3 L/min, TGA-approved, quiet operation. For lower prescribed flow rates. $849.
Concentrator vs Oxygen Cylinders — Which Is Better?
For patients running 4+ hours of oxygen per day, a concentrator almost always works out significantly cheaper over 12 months than ongoing cylinder rental and refill costs. There is no running out overnight, no cylinder deliveries to coordinate, and no refill cost — only the electricity cost of running the unit (typically $2–4 per day).
