Oxygen tank powered by electricity? I’ve seen lots of them and none of them were electric powered.
Home oxygen concentrators do plug in. I am wondering why they didn’t have or couldn’t get the portable bottles though.
It an O2 generator. My MIL has one upstairs. She also has a tank that would last days without power.

Precisely!
Something else is afoot here.

Probably a generator.. Family member has one
I've seen some battery powered oxygen concentraters. If you are a commercial pilot, you have likely have similar technology on your plane, although not electrically powered.

Look at the link.
They are called oxygen concentrators and are very common.
They are oxygen concentrators. But should have had back-uptanks. I guess they were gambling tge power would never go out, even by natural causes. Grandma lost.
When my mom was in hospice, her oxygen generator was electrically powered.
Oxygen concentraters run on electricity. O2 companies provide oxygen by tanks, to have on hand in case of power failures. Hospice wuld have odered more, if her tanks were running low, IF they were notified. Either the family didn’t know they needed to be replaced, or they didn’t know enough to call the hospice that she was out. Sounds like the family weren’t involved enough in her care, to know the plan of care, or maybe the family members who DID know, were not present. No, the power companies are not supposed to cut power to O2 patients, but even if they do, there are always back up tanks in the home. If my family member had no power to his O2 concentrator, was out of tanks, and was gasping for breath, I would call an ambulance, wouldn’t anybody? (If they had any brains, that is).
This smells like a try for big bucks ....why "plead with the company for hours" when an ambulance could have solved the problem until the electric deal was settled.....
