It shouldn’t have a smell. You need to get in touch with the provider. They will need to check out the machine. Tell him to stop using it. Get someone out there right away.Is he on the oxygen only at night or 23/7? It really doesn’t make any difference.It needs to be replaced and pronto.
If it has a burning smell then he needs to stop using it ASAP and call the home health company he uses to get out there now.
sounds like something is overheating and can cause a fire
contact your supplier and get it replaced
Stop use and call the provider they should have another one within a few hours
I don’t mean to be rude. Evidently he didn’t just start using it today. Has it ever smelled like this before today? If it has not then there is probably something wrong with it. A burning smell is never good.
Turn the tank off now. He must have a portable tank he can hook up to for now. Call his supplier and talk to them They have someone on call 24/7 for problems. They will bring him a new tank right now unless he can wait until morning.
