當家中長輩出現呼吸困難、血氧濃度不足的情況時，許多家屬開始關注各種氧氣供應設備。市面上除了常見的醫療用製氧機，還有氫氧機、活氧機等產品，這些看似相似卻各有不同用途的設備，往往讓人感到選擇上的困惑。 作為專業醫材廠商，我們深知選擇正確的氧療設備對患者健康的重要性，因此此篇文章幫助您深入了解三者的核心差異與正確選擇方式。 When an elderly family member experiences shortness of breath or low blood oxygen levels, many people begin to look into various oxygen supply devices. In the market, in addition to commonmedical oxygen concentrators, there are also products like hydrogen-oxygen machines and ozone machines. These devices appear similar but have different purposes, often causing confusion when it comes to choosing the right one.
As a professional medical device manufacturer, we deeply understand how important it is to choose the correct oxygen therapy equipment for a patient's health. Therefore, this article will help you get a deeper understanding of the core differences between the three and how to make the right choice.
醫療用製氧機：救命的專業氧療設備

製氧機是通過國家衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (FDA) 認證的第二等級醫療器材，主要採用變壓吸附技術 (PSA) 將空氣中的氮氣分離，提供濃度高達90-95%的醫療級氧氣。這種設備專為慢性阻塞性肺病 (COPD) 、肺纖維化、心臟衰竭等需要長期氧療的患者設計。 根據台灣胸腔暨重症醫學會的治療指引，這種治療不僅能提升血中氧氣濃度，更能減輕心肺負擔、提高生存率，讓患者重拾生活品質。 An oxygen concentrator is a Class II medical device certified by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). It primarily uses Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to separate nitrogen from the air, providing medical-grade oxygen with a concentration of up to 90-95%. This device is designed for patients with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and heart failure who require long-term oxygen therapy.
According to the treatment guidelines of the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, this therapy can not only increase blood oxygen levels but also reduce the strain on the heart and lungs, increase survival rates, and allow patients to regain their quality of life.
氫氧機：健康保健的新興選擇
Hydrogen-Oxygen Machines: An Emerging Choice for Health and Wellness 氫氧機則是近年來興起的保健設備，氫氣被認為具有抗氧化特性，能清除體內有害自由基，而同時供應的氧氣濃度雖比空氣略高，但主要目的是避免使用者在吸氫過程中缺氧。 值得注意的是，氫氧機的氧氣濃度遠低於醫療用製氧機，無法作為真正的醫療氧療使用。而氫氧機目前的醫療證據仍屬於「早期研究階段」，目前仍以動物研究與小規模臨床試驗為主，尚未成為臨床標準治療。因此還是需要考量本身身體狀況後使用。 Hydrogen-oxygen machines are a type of health and wellness equipment that has emerged in recent years. Hydrogen gas is believed to have antioxidant properties that can clear harmful free radicals from the body. While the simultaneously supplied oxygen has a slightly higher concentration than air, its main purpose is to prevent the user from becoming oxygen-deprived during hydrogen inhalation.
It's important to note that the oxygen concentration from a hydrogen-oxygen machine is much lower than that of a medical oxygen concentrator and cannot be used for true medical oxygen therapy. Current medical evidence for hydrogen-oxygen machines is still in the "early research phase," with studies primarily based on animal and small-scale clinical trials. They have not yet become a clinical standard treatment. Therefore, users should consider their own health condition before using one.
活氧機：環境清潔的專業設備
Ozone Machines: Professional Equipment for Environmental Cleaning 活氧機 (臭氧機) 的功能與前兩者截然不同，主要用於空氣淨化和殺菌消毒。臭氧具有強氧化性，能有效分解細菌、病毒、黴菌和有機化合物，廣泛應用於室內空氣清潔、食材消毒、異味去除等環境衛生領域。 然而，活氧機不能用於人體呼吸，高濃度臭氧對人體有害，會刺激呼吸道黏膜，誘發氣喘等呼吸系統問題。因此，活氧機僅能在無人環境下使用，待臭氧完全分解後才能進入空間。 The function of an ozone machine is completely different from the previous two. It is primarily used for air purification and sterilization. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties and can effectively break down bacteria, viruses, mold, and organic compounds. It is widely used in environmental sanitation for tasks like indoor air cleaning, food sterilization, and odor removal.
However, ozone machines cannot be used for human respiration. High concentrations of ozone are harmful to the human body and can irritate the respiratory tract lining, inducing respiratory problems like asthma. Therefore, ozone machines should only be used in unoccupied environments, and the area should not be entered until the ozone has completely dissipated.
專業選擇指南：依需求選對設備
Expert's Guide: How to Choose the Right Equipment for Your Needs 選擇氧療設備時，請務必諮詢專業醫師評估，確認實際需求。若是醫療用途，請選擇通過食藥署認證的製氧機。 選擇正確的氧療設備至關重要。台灣製的製氧機不僅代表優良品質，更承載著我們對患者健康的深切關懷。透過專業的產品選擇與正確的使用方式，讓我們陪伴您和家人度過每個安心的時刻。 When choosing oxygen therapy equipment, you must consult with a professional doctor for an assessment to confirm your specific needs. If the device is for medical use, be sure to choose an oxygen concentrator that has been certified by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA).
Choosing the right oxygen therapy equipment is critical. An oxygen concentrator Made in Taiwan not only represents excellent quality but also carries our deep commitment to patient health. Through professional product selection and proper usage, we can help you and your family have peace of mind during every moment.
