| 1. A pressure swing adsorption system for separating air into a concentrated gas component, said system comprising:
an air supply;
a compressor for receiving and compressing the air supply, providing a compressed air supply;
less than six molecular sieve chambers having molecular sieve material therewithin for separating the compressed air supply
into a concentrated gas component, wherein the system has a recovery rate of the concentrated gas component of greater than
approximately 30%, wherein the system has total weight, and wherein the system has a specific total weight per liter per minute
(LPM)<5.7 lbs/LPM; and
an outlet delivering at least 10 LPM of a continuous flow of the concentrated gas component, and wherein the pressure swing
adsorption system is sized for use in a patient's home.
