Nidek Medical Nuvo Nano Portable Oxygen Concentrator
This item requires an Rx or Professional License
The Nidek Medical Nuvo Nano Portable Oxygen Concentrator (Model 855) is an ultra-lightweight, battery-operated medical device engineered for oxygen-dependent individuals who refuse to compromise their mobile lifestyle. Purpose-built to break the constraints of bulky home machinery and heavy steel tanks, the Nuvo Nano packs premium pulse-dose respiratory technology into a chassis weighing a remarkable 4.7 lbs (2.1 kg). Operating on an intelligent, breath-detection Pulse Delivery System, the Nano continuously monitors the user's respiratory rate (spanning 10 to 40 Breaths Per Minute) and delivers a precise, synchronized bolus of medical-grade oxygen at the exact onset of inhalation. This micro-engineered travel concentrator achieves oxygen purity levels of up to 96% and features 5 distinct pulse setting tiers. Housed in a rugged, impact-resistant composite body, the device comes packaged with a protective carrying case and an adjustable shoulder sling.
Design & Functional Features
- Advanced Breath-Sensing Logic: Utilizes a highly responsive internal pressure transducer to detect shifts in inhalation, automatically outputting oxygen while ignoring shallow background breathing or exhalations.
- True FAA Flight Compliance: Fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for commercial air travel, making it safe for gate check-in and continuous in-flight respiratory support.
- High-Contrast Digital Interface: Built with a user-friendly, back-lit LCD color screen that displays your current pulse flow setting, remaining battery runtime, and active equipment codes.
- Fail-Safe Intelligent Back-Up: Features an integrated auto-pulse backup feature that triggers a continuous pulsing pattern to safeguard the user if the machine detects a temporary absence of natural breathing.

Battery Runtime Configurations
The Nuvo Nano utilizes quick-swappable, high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery modules. Discharge timeline depends on your active pulse flow selection:
- Setting 1: Up to 3.5 Hours
- Setting 2: Up to 3.25 Hours
- Setting 3: Up to 2.5 Hours
- Setting 4: Up to 2.15 Hours
- Setting 5: Up to 1.5 Hours
Important Product Characteristics
- Smart Safe Alert Array: Built with internal diagnostic boards that monitor performance continuously. The unit will trigger loud audible and bright visual screen alerts for low battery reserve, high system temperature, breath-detection drops, or general component errors.
- Simplified Filter Maintenance: The Nano utilizes a removable sponge intake filter that can be popped out from the side cover, rinsed with warm water weekly, and reinserted once dry.
- Application Notice: The Nuvo Nano 855 is a Class II prescription-regulated medical device. It must be configured in accordance with your physician's guidance. Because pulse delivery relies on your natural breathing pattern, this device is not suitable for night-time sleep therapy if you breathe primarily through your mouth or suffer from sleep apnea.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is the Nuvo Nano different from Nidek's Nuvo Lite stationary concentrators?
The Nuvo Lite series (like Model 525) are heavy, stationary 32 lb machines designed to sit permanently in a room and run on continuous flow via a wall outlet. The Nuvo Nano weighs only 4.7 lbs, runs on rechargeable internal batteries, and operates using pulse-dose technology, enabling active individuals to leave the house, travel, and exercise.
Can I run the Nuvo Nano continuously while plugged into a car power adapter?
Yes. The package includes an authorized DC power cord. When plugged into a vehicle's standard 12V auxiliary outlet, the machine will run seamlessly on all flow settings while simultaneously recharging the internal battery block.
What should I do if I am traveling on a commercial flight with this device?
Because the Nuvo Nano is fully FAA-approved, airlines welcome it on board. However, you must contact your airline's accessibility desk at least 48 hours before departure. Most airlines require you to bring enough fully charged battery modules to cover at least 150% of your total flight and travel time to account for unexpected delays.
Can I attach a standard humidifier bottle to the Nuvo Nano?
No. Humidifier bottles are strictly reserved for stationary, continuous-flow oxygen concentrators. Because a portable pulse-dose machine only outputs a brief puff of air when you inhale, it cannot build up the structural line pressure required to push air through water without throwing a "No Flow" system error.
Compliance Standard:
FDA Class II Medical Device Regulations (21 CFR Part 807)
To ensure strict compliance with current FDA regulations, EnhDme enforces a rigorous prescription verification policy for specific restricted medical devices. Because federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare provider, orders containing prescription-regulated equipment will remain on a compliance hold and will not be dispensed until a valid prescription is successfully received and verified by our compliance team.
