Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

Honestly, I don't know. Never even seen one. You guys must know better.
Have worked with no IV fluids, basic medications even gloves. But never faced oxygen shortage for more than few minutes in any epidemic.
We ran out of fluids, bronchodilators, adrenalin, hydrocortisone etc. in Africa, but don't remember shortage of oxygen.
In Spain, we ran out of sterile gloves one night, it is definitely the worst night of my life..suctioning out vomitus from laryngeal inlet without gloves is really gross.

@red dragon I have a oxygen concentrator lying used for 2 years now, does it require maintenance of some sort. I am really scare what if need arise and that machine does not work

 

[red dragon]

Oxygen concentrators will work, but do check their rating. Most will be able to supply around 5 l/m max, which is OK for mild or mildly moderate cases.
Low spo2 like low 80s or so might not benefit much from them.
There are some concentrators which can supply 10 l/m too, but they're really expensive.
Very low SPO2 needs Bipap or Ventilator support, so concentrators will be useless.

From the few I have seen online, they say 5L/m for only 50% pure oxygen and that number drops to 1L/m for 90% pure oxygen.

In that case it would not be very useful for many patients right? 1L/m is very insignificant. They are charging such high amounts for such flow.

So I emailed 3M enquiring about authorised dealers in my city and got the following response. Nice.

At this point, everything is overburdened..

Useless then. 5l/m @ 90% minimum.

Thanks. Main question remains, the seller. Is Healthy18 a genuine one or just another scam.

Healthy 18 is a genuine seller. Plus this shape of the mask makes it very hard to duplicate. If you buy the 50 pack ask the seller to send in the original box which will be imported from Singapore mostly.

Thanks. But I perused the list of authorised dealers on 3M website and nowhere found Healthy18 to be listed in Bangalore, Karnataka.

Also Amazon Review says spelling mistake

A member on the TE whatsapp group shared a list of sellers on Amazon that he has verified as authorised 3M dealers. Healthy18 was on that list. And if you see, they have listed that themselves on Amazon as well and they are selling a lot of 3M products apart from masks as well.
My brother and a few others bought this same pack from other seller by the name of Boston Ivy Healthcare who is definitely a 3M dealer. If you want, you can wait for other sellers.

Is the price being sold at fair? I have the same masks at home which my cousin gave (5 pieces) but he somehow got it since he is a MR. I didn't buy so no idea of price.
The masks looks little weird but is immensely comfortable as it keeps mouth area clear and not touched to mask. But yes due to heat, the area around mouth does develop sweat so have to use my napkin to wipe it.

They are being sold at MRP it seems.

Thanks for the assurance that they are an authorised distributor. However, I still have slight suspicion as they are not listed on 3M website as one. I contacted them, this Healthy18 seller and asked the same, their reply attached below.

I searched bud couldn't find any registered company under EDTA VENTURES but there's however E DATA VENTURES, with Delhi registration and a certificate from 3M authorising them as a distributor, but that certificate was valid up to 2018.

Just trying to be cautious here that's all.
