Check the specifications
Start with professional requirements if equipment is for treatment. Ask about the model, accessories, condition, dimensions and power requirements; do not infer specifications from an image.
Understand supply terms
Request delivery, installation, training, maintenance and breakdown arrangements, including deposits or return fees. For rental, clarify start and end dates and extension terms.
Oxygen requires clinical direction
Use home oxygen only when prescribed and follow professional instructions. Do not choose treatment settings online. This page does not provide device-setting instructions.
Reference for the oxygen paragraph: NHS — Home oxygen therapy.
