Motivation
When blood saturation level drops below 94%, it
could be sign of respiratory distress.
Usually this merits hospitalization, but due surge in
Covid-19 cases and oxygen beds in short supply, the
device could helps those whose saturation level
rage between 88-92 if they can’t access hospital
service.
Any lower would require more intensive oxygen and
any higher would that mean an improvement in
lung function can obviate the need of such a device

Problem Statement
Oxygen concentrators may fail to produce therapeutic levels
of oxygen because of common problems involving the air-
intake system, malfunctioning sieve-control valves, and
contaminated sieve materials.
Water vapor in room air can compromise the adsorption of
nitrogen in the sieve beds by entering through small leaks in
the internal tubing; if sufficient water vapor contaminates
the sieve beds once again, the gas delivered will be room air.
Patients may suffer irritation from nasal cannulae. Because
excess oxygen enhances and accelerates combustion,
extreme care must be taken to avoid using the concentrator
near combustible materials and sources of ignition.
A reserve compressed-oxygen tank and regulator should
always be available in case of a power failure
