Oxygen concentrator / soemac safety

[clare987]

Hi, I'd like to buy a soemac oxygen concentrator for my own health, I'm just worried that it won't be safe for my small conure.
I'll be using it in the bedroom, and it will be running all night. My conure sleeps in a different room and only comes into the bedroom for 10 minutes in the morning.
I have asked the manufacturer if it is safe for parrots, and he said yes - but I'm still not sure.

I cannot say for sure but I do know that my Mom uses one and we did not have any issues whenever she visited (which is not often or for too long because my Mom is allergic to birds). If you asked the manufacturer if it is PFOA and PTFE free then it is likely safe. I would be willing to use one, especially for your own good health. You could also run your air purifier as a safety measure.
