Portable O2 Setup (E-Cart, E-Regulator, E-Tank) is a complete, ready-to-use portable oxygen system including an E-size oxygen cylinder, a 15 LPM regulator, and a wheeled E-cart carrier. This setup provides patients with a reliable, mobile oxygen supply for use within and outside the home, particularly at higher flow rates that pulse-dose portable concentrators may not support.

OxyCare delivers the complete portable setup, ensures the cylinder is full and the regulator is correctly fitted, and orientates the patient and caregiver on safe operation and cylinder management. Rental is available.
