GCE Healthcare launches lightweight portable oxygen concentrator to help people with respiratory diseases stay active

Published - 2016. 14 November.

 

The Zen-O Lite™ is one of the lightest portable oxygen therapy devices on the market and gives respiratory patients more freedom to move about.

GCE Healthcare is pleased to announce the launch of the Zen-O Lite™ lightweight portable oxygen concentrator (POC) – its second portable oxygen concentrator launched this year to increase mobility for patients that require supplemental oxygen therapy.

Compact and ultra-portable, Zen-O Lite™ is designed to reduce the limitations that respiratory disorders put on mobility. It helps patients with disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, to stay independent and active.

Zen-O Lite™ weighs in at 2.5kg (5.5lbs) and delivers oxygen on demand at an output of 1050ml per minute. For patients who need more oxygen, there’s the Zen-O™, which was launched in January 2016. It has a higher output of 2litres of oxygen per minute and is also portable at 4.66kg (10lbs). 

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: "The Zen-O Lite™ extends our homecare product range to provide more choice and freedom for patients with respiratory disorders. Zen-O Lite™ is one of the lightest portable oxygen devices on the market and will help patients who are more active to continue to be mobile and do the activities they love."

Both Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O™ are simple to operate and come with a battery, DC and AC power cords, and a carry bag, a pull cart (Zen-O only) plus a three-year device warranty. They are also easy to maintain, with sieve modules that are easily replaced in the field, avoiding the need to return the device to a service centre, which in turn reduces the cost of ownership for home oxygen providers. 

"Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O represent a major investment in high-quality innovative products by our parent company, GCE Group, in GCE Healthcare’s homecare business," added Mike Galvin. "The devices are devised by our dedicated engineering team at our Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK and designed and manufactured in the UK to relevant, international standards. As part of GCE Group’s global supply chain, we’re also able to deliver our range, parts and accessories, efficiently and promptly."
