Signs Your Oxygen Concentrator Needs Service
Signs Your Oxygen Concentrator Needs Service
Your oxygen concentrator is a lifeline—literally. But even the best machines need occasional maintenance. How do you know when it’s time for a tune-up?
🔧 1. Low Oxygen Purity
Most modern devices like the Genixair GA01P or GA03H include oxygen purity sensors. If your device reports below 90% concentration for an extended period, it may need servicing.
🔊 2. Unusual Sounds
A well-functioning concentrator should produce a steady, low hum. Grinding, rattling, or sudden loud noises could indicate motor or compressor issues.
⚠️ 3. Frequent Alarms or Error Codes
Don’t ignore those beeps! Whether it’s an oxygen purity alert, power supply error, or overheating warning, consistent alarms signal that your device needs attention.
🌡 4. Overheating or Unusual Heat Output
Feeling too much heat from the unit? Clogged filters, internal fan failure, or dust buildup could be putting your device—and your safety—at risk.
💤 5. Reduced Battery Life (Portable Models)
If your Genixair GA02P used to run for 6 hours but now only lasts 3, the battery or charging system might be deteriorating. Always keep a backup on hand.
🛠 How to Keep Your Unit in Top Shape
- ✔ Clean or replace filters regularly
- ✔ Store your unit in a dry, dust-free place
- ✔ Use only Genixair-approved accessories and power supplies
- ✔ Follow your user manual’s maintenance schedule
