I am guided by high quality oximeters. Pulse delivery systems deliver way less O2 than continuous flow machines. One can measure their oximetry with both systems and easily see the difference in how well they are able to remain oxygenated.

As said above, you only get a MAX of 1.26liters/minute if you use the Inogen 1 G5 or Rove6 at its highest rate of 6 pulse! This is one of the lower settings on a stationary concentrator!

So why are all the people in the ads so happy hiking, golfing, etc? I called the company and they assured me a 2 on the POC is equal to a 2 on the stationary. That may be true but since it only doles it out intermittently, the air flow is NOT equal. No wonder I struggle when out of the house. Just be honest with us, people! We're dealing with enough as it is.
