URGENT MEDICAL SITUATION! Need power inverter

Posted by Judith Lee on July 22, 2014 at 7:32pm in News

My husband is having respiratory failure and must be on the oxygen machine all the time. His oxygen level drops below the danger level if he goes off the oxygen. We have an oxygen concentrator that makes its own oxygen. However, I am concerned if we have a power failure, and I need to borrow or buy a power inverter, so I can hook up the machine to our car battery should the power go out. The oxygen machine runs on 350W, so the inverter has to be able to handle that. I would appreciate it if I could borrow one asap. I can order one online from PriceSmart, but it will probably take a week to get here. Please contact me if you can loan me an inverter, or if you have one to sell. I appreciate your help.

Thanks to everyone who reached out to help. Jacqui went to David to get the converter and Cowboy Dave helped me put it together with clamps and showed me how to use it. And just in time....we had a power outage early this morning for one hour and I was able to hook up the converter and the oxygen machine and he did fine for that hour. We do have a small backup oxygen tank, but it doesn't last long...less than one hour.
Thank you again to everyone.

  Let's hope he doesn't require it much longer.

I bought one in Do-It Center.

They have about 2-3 different sizes.

  Thank you Gary. I will go get one tomorrow. Thanks so much. The 350W wasn't strong enough.
