KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA.The worsening situation of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a shortage of oxygen cylinders.Actually, there are other products such as oxygen concentrators that are considered quite practical for users.Unfortunately, this one product is also starting to be difficult to find.For information, oxygen concentrator is a device that serves to provide oxygen by taking the surrounding air and separating the substances in the air, so that the oxygen found can be distributed to the patient.In other words, this device processes the surrounding free air into pure oxygen with a purity level above 90%.The advantage of oxygen concentrators is that they do not require refilling like oxygen cylinders.It is also lighter in weight so it is easy to carry anywhere.Kontan.co.id is trying to find sellers of oxygen concentrators on e-commerce platforms, one of which is Tokopedia.There, Kontan.co.id found a shop called Best Buy 123 that sells Yuwell Oxygen Concentrator YU300 branded products imported directly from China.The oxygen concentrator is priced at Rp. 6,350,000.Based on the description information, the Yuwell Oxygen Concentrator YU300 can operate for 48 hours non-stop without any noise.This product has Pressure Swing Adorption technology which is able to produce fresh air that is free of bacteria.The oxygen purity level reaches 90%.Also Read: Emergency PPKM applies, these are the latest requirements for boarding a planeBest Buy 123's admin said that this product had already been sold out, so interested buyers had to preorder with a waiting time of 12 days.He ensures that the preorder system is safe because the money paid by the buyer will be withheld by Tokopedia in advance until the ordered goods arrive.He admitted, the oxygen concentrator ran out due to high demand in the last few days."Since about 10 days ago or since Covid-19 cases have increased sharply," said Admin at Best Buy 123, Thursday (1/7).The high demand made the price of the oxygen concentrator also increase in price.Previously, Best Buy 123 sold the oxygen concentrator with the Yuwell brand for around Rp. 5.5 million.However, as the number of buyers increased, the price rose to around Rp. 6 million.The price hike is also inseparable from the magnitude of the shipping cost.Previously, the oxygen concentrator was sent by ship.However, now that demand is increasing and stocks are running out quickly, to accommodate this, product delivery is carried out by plane."This is all the impact of the Covid-19 spike which resulted in full hospitals and hard to get oxygen cylinders.Even if you can, the price is doubled and the oxygen cylinder seems to only be used for about 2 hours," said Admin at Best Buy 123.In addition, Kontan.co.id also traced sellers of oxygen concentrators on the Bukalapak platform.For three dollars, one of the vendors, namely Caltech Medical, admitted that the oxygen concentrator products he sold had run out."Blank.We are no longer selling it," said Admin Catech Medical, Friday (2/7).Caltech Medical also sells oxygen concentrators with the Olive brand and the OLV-5 model made in China.This product can produce oxygen with a purity level of up to 93% and can be used 24 hours as long as the machine is plugged into electricity.This product is also valued at Rp. 7,500,000.Next up: Here's How To Get Free Oxygen During Self-Isolation
