Compare the components for a budget 5 LPM HomeFill setup and a 10 LPM setup. Both configurations pair a compatible stationary concentrator with a reconditioned Invacare HomeFill compressor and a cylinder filling whip. The customer supplies their own compatible oxygen cylinder, including larger tank sizes, prescribed delivery regulator, and mask. The items below are sold individually, not as an automatic bundle.

Choose your configuration
| Option | Components with 3 ft whip | Direct concentrator use |
|---|---|---|
| Budget 5 LPM | Platinum 5 XL + HomeFill + 3 ft whip | Cylinder filling configuration. The concentrator's 5 LPM output is below recommended high flow cluster headache oxygen delivery. |
| 10 LPM | Platinum 10 + HomeFill + 3 ft whip | Direct 10 LPM concentrator oxygen can help some patients. Discuss backup use with your clinician; response varies. |
Filling flow and breathing flow are different
A 5 LPM concentrator can supply a compatible HomeFill for cylinder filling; it does not limit a filled cylinder's delivery regulator to 5 LPM. Cylinder delivery depends on its regulator, capacity, and prescribed setup.
HomeFill compresses concentrator generated oxygen without increasing its purity. On a Platinum 10, direct patient flow is limited to 5 LPM while HomeFill fills; stop filling before direct use above that limit.
Compatible with larger oxygen tanks
The Bradshaw Oxygen HomeFill setup can accommodate E cylinders and larger oxygen cylinders with the appropriate filling whip, valve connection, and rated pressure. You are not limited to the small cylinder pictured. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your particular tank. Customers supply their own cylinder.
For breathing use, the cylinder must be suitable and clean for medical oxygen service, with known prior contents and current required testing. An industrial connection alone does not establish suitability for inhalation. Cylinders, delivery regulators, and masks are not included.
Evidence for concentrator oxygen
Concentrator oxygen can help some people with cluster headaches. A 2024 randomized crossover study used two 5 LPM EverFlo concentrators together to supply 10 LPM through a nonrebreather mask. Substantial pain reduction at 15 minutes occurred in 31.7% of oxygen treated attacks versus 12.9% with oral zolmitriptan. The study provides clinical evidence of benefit from concentrator oxygen. It did not test our Invacare HomeFill configuration or compare it directly with medical cylinder oxygen; effectiveness of this specific setup has not been established.
Bradshaw Oxygen reports typical measured output of 94 to 96% for its tested units. Actual concentration depends on the unit, flow setting, and operating conditions; this is not a guarantee for every unit at every setting. Concentrator oxygen is not automatically ineffective because of its concentration: published research and patient reports describe relief in some users. Results vary, and measured equipment output does not establish how well a particular person will respond.

HSA cards accepted
Bradshaw Oxygen accepts Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. HSA funds can be used for qualified medical expenses. Keep your purchase receipt and any supporting prescription or medical necessity documentation. Card acceptance does not by itself determine whether a particular purchase qualifies; confirm eligibility for your intended medical use with your HSA administrator or tax adviser.
Coverage and treatment guidance
Insurance coverage and supplier access vary. Bradshaw Oxygen does not work with insurance companies or bill insurance. Purchases are paid directly to Bradshaw Oxygen. HSA cards are accepted for eligible medical purchases. Read our Oxygen for Cluster Headaches guide for clinical recommendations, insurance information, and equipment considerations. These component configurations are not represented as clinically validated cluster headache treatments. Your treating clinician should determine the oxygen source and delivery setup.
