Asking for a friend: Potentially will be bringing a POC to Ixtapa/Zihuatenjo for 4 to 6 weeks in early 2022. Just in case, are there any places/companies that can provide service/repair/replacement parts, IF NEEDED? Thanks, in advance.

I believe there is some detailed info about this from a few years ago if you search for it here in the Message Board, but the answer is YES. My mother had one of these and I bought the small oxygen tanks for it near the Clínica Maciel. That was over 5 years ago, so there may be other locations now.

The portable oxygen concentrators I’ve used do not involve oxygen canisters. My husband’s unit shorted out while we were in Zihuatanejo, and we could not find a repair service. We ended up (with the help of our property manager) finding a computer repair person who worked with an electrician to fix it, but going this route voided the Canadian manufacturer’s warranty. However, it was a potential life or death situation for the flight home so we went ahead with the repair.

Yes, my bad. It's been a few years. No canisters. My mother had both a small one and a large one. The same place I mentioned earlier sold some parts we needed.
