1st Class Medical Oxygen Concentrator Division Sets Industry Standard By Establishing The First Consistent Sales Approach to Selling Oxygen Concentrators To Oxygen Therapy Patients

    LAKE CITY, FL, August 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 1st Class Medical, a leading distributor of oxygen concentrators, announced today it is voluntarily adopting a new company policy for all employees to follow. The industry-leading policy establishes for the first time a consistent company approach to the sale of home and portable oxygen concentrators. The policy will give oxygen therapy patients the peace of mind that the oxygen concentrator they order is the oxygen concentrator they need.

1st Class Medical's Vice President said: "We have long advocated for oxygen therapy patients to get what they need for their condition. Many companies have inexperienced salespeople without formal training on the phone deciding the best oxygen concentrator for a patient. We found their decision is not always in the best interest of the patient but more in the interest of the company's profits. Manufacturers will offer incentives for a company to push their product. 1st Class Medical offers every home and portable oxygen concentrator on the market. We train our technicians to ask important questions about our patient's condition and personal needs, making sure we can match them with the oxygen machine that best fits their situation and there budget. We have programs in place that are mandatory for new employees to learn before they can pick up a phone and talk to a patient. This includes education and training on every oxygen concentrator available to the public. This policy will serve as an important part of our mission by expanding the knowledge of our patients and helping them make an informed decision based on the facts."

Oxygen therapy patients across the United States welcome 1st Class Medical's announcement that it has launched a new policy, stopping the sale of unnecessary expensive home and portable oxygen concentrators. The Internet is a great market place for oxygen concentrators. Unfortunately, you do not have to own a pharmacy to sell oxygen concentrators. Oxygen in medical grade form should be sold by a pharmacy, not an individual without education on oxygen products and diseases that cause the need for oxygen. 1st Class Medical is the Internet division for NFM, a large and growing chain of pharmacies located in North Florida. When you order oxygen from 1st Class Medical it ships out of a pharmacy.

1st Class Medical works with doctors, respiratory therapists, homecare facilities and oxygen therapy patients directly -- to offer low priced home and portable oxygen concentrators along with the education needed in the decision making process. Most patients need an FAA approved portable oxygen concentrator so they can travel on commercial airlines, buses, or trains. Concentrators come in different sizes, different oxygen flows, and have different battery life. The new policy makes 1st Class technicians ask the questions necessary to match the right unit to the patient. The educational policy continues to advance 1st Class Medical's commitment to ensure oxygen therapy patients order the right piece of equipment.
