Abstract

1.Introduction: Oxygen therapy saves lives in several respiratory and non-respiratory diseases in both neonates and children. The most common indication for oxygen therapy in newborns was pneumonia, which was one of the leading causes of death in children under five years old in most developing countries. The Oxygen Concentrator (OC) comes as a welcome change to this cylinder place. Oxygen concentrators save up to 25-50% in cost over cylinders in poor resource settings. This oxygen therapy is even more effective if a control system is given to regulate the oxygen needs of the client in the form of oxymetry control.
2. Purpose: Designed an oxygen concentrator with Pressure Swing Adsorption and Oxymetry Pulse Control to be used for newborns and neonates
3. Method: This study uses a research and development design. The variables tested in this study were the function of the Oxygen Generator Based On Oxymetry and the volume of oxygen produced. At this stage, the assembly and coding of the Oxygen Concentrator is carried out, consisting of a series of hardware and software for oxygen concentrator software with a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) work system equipped with Arduino-based pulse oximetry control.
4. Main Finding: The results of the research at this stage are that the hardware of the Oxygen Concentrator Based On Oxymetry has been assembled and the completion of the Arduino IDE coding. Testing the Oxygen Concentrator Based On Oxymetry function works properly which is marked when the power button is in the ON position, the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit shows the LCD screen display entering the main menu and the words ^Ready to use^ appear, and the oxygen indicator on oxymetry shows the concentration of oxygen produced. At this stage the oxygen concentration produced is an average of 36%.
5. Implication: At this stage the Oxygen Generator Based On Oxymetry is functioning but with a low oxygen concentration, so it is necessary to make improvements in the assembly design of the next prototype.
