Total Cost of Ownership
Any oxygen concentrator has several costs over its lifetime. The cost that is most familiar and easily understood is the upfront or initial cost of the device. However, if we look at the total cost of operating an oxygen concentrator over its 5-year lifetime, there are two other significant costs that we need to evaluate: the cost of energy and the cost of maintenance. Taken together, these three costs combine to equal the total cost of ownership of an oxygen concentrator.
The PulmO2 has several innovations designed to reduce its Total Cost of Ownership by reducing the total energy required and by reducing the maintenance or servicing costs over 5 years.
In the calculator below, you can enter the device cost, typical usage information, the cost of energy to compare total cost of ownership for the PulmO2 versus other oxygen concentrators over 5 years.
* This is calculated based on average failures seen over 5 years of a variety of oxygen concentrators in the field. It takes into consideration the warranty period where spare parts would be provided free of cost. If a concentrator is provided without warranty, the repair and maintenance costs would be higher.
