Oxygen concentrating apparatus and execution support method of home oxygen therapy using the same

An oxygen concentrating apparatus which separates atmospheric oxygen to supply an oxygen enriched gas to a user, the oxygen concentrating apparatus comprising:

• an oxygen concentrating means for obtaining the oxygen-enriched gas by separating and concentrating atmospheric oxygen;
• a detecting means for detecting presence/absence of breathing of the user;
• a controlling means for controlling in such a manner that the oxygen enriched gas is supplied only during an inspiration period by a signal from the detecting means;
• a recording means for recording supply history information which is a history of supply conditions of the oxygen enriched gas supplied to the user together with time information;
• and
• an output means and/or display means for sending the recorded supply history information to an outside of the apparatus together with the time information.
