Sunrise Medical unveiled its new oxygen home filling system at Medtrade Spring.
The DeVilbiss iFill Personal Oxygen Station extracts purified oxygen from room air using standard oxygen concentrator technology. According to the company, the unit is different from competing home fill products because it is used as a stand-alone device — providers don’t have to replace a patient’s existing concentrator, no matter the brand.
“The introduction of the iFill is very timely, given recent federal legislation that caps oxygen reimbursement after 36 months,” said Bob VonKaenel, vice president of marketing, North America. “For home oxygen providers, the DeVilbiss iFill Station provides an opportunity to maintain superior customer service and profitability during these changing times by converting to a non-delivery or limited delivery business model.”
The iFill station fills most cylinder sizes including M4, M6, ML6, C, D and E. M6 cylinders can be filled in “just a little over an hour,” the company said, and patients’ partially filled cylinders can be topped off.
