HME Business 2022 Industry Innovators
Award-winning O2 Solutions Designed for the Provider and Patient
Twenty years ago, CAIRE
launched the first portable
oxygen concentrator — the
LifeStyle™ — in the home care and
durable medical equipment market,
forever changing the way providers
served their oxygen users.
Today, the legacy continues at
CAIRE Inc. with the development of
smart O2 technologies at the core of
its mission and vision. Even while addressing
the pandemic by providing
critical equipment globally, the CAIRE
organization, headquartered in Ball
Ground, GA, continues its overarching
mission, with its eye on innovation and
the needs of its customers.
Along with several new products in
development, principal goals for this
year include efforts to expand educational
opportunities, and improve the
customer experience by increasing
internal efficiencies designed to positively
impact providers, and ultimately
the end users they serve.
CAIRE’s oxygen equipment portfolio
covers the entire continuum of care
with time-proven brands, including the
award-winning FreeStyle® Comfort®
and the Eclipse 5®, the stationary oxygen
concentrators the Companion 5™
and NewLife® Intensity 10, and liquid
oxygen systems.
Proprietary oxygen delivery features
enhance the clinical effectiveness of
CAIRE’s portable concentrators, making
this manufacturer the supplier of
choice for the home care provider.
The state-of-the-art FreeStyle Comfort
is the first POC with an ergonomic
shape, weighing only 5 lbs. and delivering
up to 1050 mL, with five pulse flow
settings. Meeting FAA guidelines, this
device is designed for travel and able
to accommodate daily activities and
increased ambulation.
The FreeStyle Comfort’s therapeutic
oxygen delivery technologies include
UltraSense® sensitive breath detection
and the autoDOSE safety function that
delivers oxygen even when no breath is
detected.
The clinically-proven Eclipse 5,
transportable via a wheeled cart,
offers the user the option of pulse
or continuous flow settings covering
a broad prescription range — an
ideal solution for hospital discharge
programs. The Eclipse 5 comes
equipped with the patented autoSAT®
technology, which enables patients
to receive the appropriate dose of
purified oxygen with each breath.
Both portable oxygen concentrators
are operational via battery or electrical
power.
For at-home needs, the compact
Companion 5 is the five-liter nondelivery
solution for new oxygen
patient set-ups. This device, along with
the FreeStyle Comfort and the Eclipse
5, can wirelessly connect to CAIRE’s
telehealth solution, myCAIRE™, which
can further streamline operations,
increase efficiency and improve
oxygen patient care for the provider.
myCAIRE offers providers the ability
to view device notifications and key
data through a secure, cloud-based
technology remotely through a
provider portal.
The time-proven NewLife Intensity
offers continuous flow oxygen up to 10
LPM, and with 20 PSI outlet pressure,
it can address a variety of medical applications.
CAIRE’s liquid oxygen systems offer
flexibility for the oxygen therapy user
who requires a higher, continuous flow
prescription in a lightweight portable.
Products including the HELiOS™ and Hi
Flow Stroller® can be easily refilled at
home from a Liberator® reservoir.
