Drive DeVilbiss 555 5L Compact Oxygen Concentrator: A Complete Guide
One of the smallest units on the market — a compact, durable, quiet 5-liter concentrator at just 29.9 lbs, engineered for reliability and lower long-term ownership costs.
Facilities and home health providers managing a fleet of concentrators care about more than just flow rate — weight, reliability, and long-term ownership cost all factor into the equation. The Drive DeVilbiss 555 was engineered around all three, as one of the smallest 5-liter units on the market.
At just 29.9 pounds — 10 to 15 pounds lighter than competing concentrators — the 555 pairs a compact, space-saving footprint with a next-generation internal design that reduces connections and clamps, simplifying assembly and cutting down on potential points of failure.
Engineered by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare
The 555 is manufactured by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare and includes a full 5-year limited warranty. As a Class II FDA-regulated medical device, it is available strictly by prescription.
