POC4 and POC8 Portable Oxygen Concentrators
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- Two portable oxygen concentrator models, POC4 and POC8, from the same oxygen therapy range as our stationary concentrators.
- Flow mode, battery runtime, weight and noise are confirmed per model on the datasheet sent with your quotation; we do not publish unverified figures.
- For an accurate quote, state the model, quantity, destination voltage and plug, spare batteries and the documents your market requires.
A portable oxygen concentrator (POC) makes oxygen from room air and is built to run on a rechargeable battery, so a patient is not tied to a wall outlet or a cylinder. HOPE INTERNATIONAL supplies two POC models, POC4 and POC8, to medical equipment distributors, DME dealers, rental companies and homecare programs.
Key Features
- Two models, POC4 and POC8, listed in the oxygen concentrator section of our equipment catalog.
- Different control layouts: in the catalog photos, the POC8 has its display on the front face, while the POC4 has its display and buttons on the top panel.
- Each model datasheet states the delivery mode (pulse dose and/or continuous flow), settings, battery type and runtime, weight and noise level.
- Can be quoted with stationary concentrators, nebulizers and oxygen consumables for one consolidated shipment.
Applications
- Ambulatory oxygen for patients who need to move around the home, go outdoors or attend appointments.
- Short trips and travel, subject to the airline's rules for the specific model.
- Homecare and rental fleets that pair a stationary unit for night use with a portable unit for the day.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model (POC4, POC8 or both) and quantity per model.
- The delivery mode and maximum setting your patients are prescribed.
- Spare batteries per unit, and whether you need a car charger or carry bag.
- Destination country, mains voltage and plug type.
- Documents needed for import, registration or tender.

Frequently asked questions
+What is the difference between pulse dose and continuous flow on a portable oxygen concentrator?
Pulse dose releases a short burst of oxygen when the device senses the start of each breath, which saves battery and allows a smaller unit. Continuous flow delivers a steady stream regardless of breathing, which some prescriptions and night-time use require. The delivery modes and settings of POC4 and POC8 are stated on each model's datasheet.
+Portable vs stationary oxygen concentrator: which one fits your patients?
Stationary concentrators run on mains power and deliver higher continuous flow, which suits home and ward use; see our 5L and 10L models. Portable units trade flow capacity for battery operation and lower weight, which suits patients who need oxygen while moving. Many homecare providers supply one of each.
+Can a portable oxygen concentrator be used 24/7?
Round-the-clock use depends on the model's duty rating, battery runtime and charging setup. Plan for spare batteries or mains operation during long sessions, and check the duty rating on the POC4 or POC8 datasheet before quoting it for continuous therapy.
+Can you take a portable oxygen concentrator on an airplane?
Each airline decides whether a specific portable concentrator may be used on board, under its own rules and those of the aviation authority. We do not claim airline acceptance for POC4 or POC8. Ask us for the model documentation and check it with the airline before travel.
