Recent health department data from the Philippines indicated that over 1,000 people receiving treatment for Covid-19 are severe or critical cases. A consistent oxygen supply proves essential for patient recovery, yet traditional cylinder-based distribution raises supply reliability concerns.
Medical facilities across the Philippines are increasingly adopting Oxygen Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology manufactured by Oxair. The company’s distributor in the region, Brilliant Metal Craft & Machine Design (BMC), has installed nearly 40 PSA systems across hospitals from Isabela to Tagum City.
PSA systems represent high quality, robust medical devices designed to last and deliver consistent, high purity oxygen without dependence on external supply chains. The technology extracts oxygen directly from atmospheric air, providing approximately 94-95% purity through filtration and conditioning processes.
Key advantages include elimination of cylinder delivery logistics, space-saving installation, customizable pressure and flow rates for facility requirements, long-term cost savings compared to purchased oxygen, and rapid return on equipment investment.
BMC’s Kristine Belle emphasized that “PSA systems enable self-generated oxygen so supply for the hospital is secured,” removing concerns associated with traditional cylinder deliveries.
David Cheeseman of Oxair noted the systems are “tried and tested over many years” with high-standard installations by BMC.
