High temperatures reduce the efficiency of the nitrogen filtering process. This results in lower oxygen purity unless accounted for by the machine.
Water from the intake air is absorbed inside the concentrator and gradually decreases its ability to produce oxygen.
Concentrators rely on continuous power and patients can't breathe during outages. Power fluctuations often break devices.
Clinics and health centers simply can't afford new oxygen concentrators. Especially not if they need frequent replacement.
Filters must be cleaned frequently or else they increase power consumption and can damage the device.
Oxygen and pressure are lower in high altitude environments, which leads to insufficient oxygen purity unless accounted for by the machine.
40% - 70% of medical devices in low resource settings are not operational due to a lack of trained servicing staff and spare parts.1https://gh.bmj.com/content/4/5/e001785
ArdenMed has designed an oxygen concentrator addressing all of these issues and is now working towards approval from medical authorities. We still have much to accomplish and we seek qualified engineers who are willing to volunteer their time to finalize our solution. Learn more about our product on the solutions page.
ArdenMed was a charitable project with more than 100 volunteers from all over the world. We worked to save the hundreds of thousands of people who die preventable deaths every year by developing an oxygen concentrator that is more affordable, consumes less power and produces oxygen reliably for years. Due to a lack of funding, we have paused our activities in 2022. If you are interested in learning about our innovations to forward our cause, contact us!
