The O2 that comes out from the Concentrator is from room air and me being on High Flow have to set my home Concentrator on 8 lt p/m which equals to 6 lt p/m on a regular O2 tank - it is crazy the difference from one to the other.

The company is so unconcerned about sending out empty cylinders. This adds to Panic Attacks and Anxiety Levels to anyone with COPD. I have at least 4 bottles in the car every time Henrik goes out. It is nerve wracking for sure not knowing if the cylinder is empty when delivered.
Last month they wanted to charge Henrik for an extra cylinder. He gets 10 free a month from NS Continuing Care.
We did call e-mail the manager and when the charge was on the bill I quickly bought it to the managers attention again about the empty cylinders.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member you are correct about half empty or empty cylinders, it has happened to me with the "E" cylinders, when I put on the regulator and turn it on, the dial stays in red, it is not good, especially if you are counting on that cylinder and you are out and about.
