1. A portable and configurable oxygen concentrator for providing various flow rates and volumes of concentrated oxygen to a patient, the oxygen concentrator comprising:
an electro-mechanical assembly including a housing, the housing enclosing a compressor and valves, a user interface mounted to the housing, the compressor configured to produce pressure for the various flow rates and volumes of concentrated oxygen to the patient;
a first battery having a first battery capacity, the first battery removably mountable to the electro-mechanical assembly;
a first adsorbent container having a first adsorbent capacity, a first notification device associated with the first adsorbent container;
a controller configured to direct the electro-mechanical assembly to produce an oxygen volume of purified oxygen; and
a notification sensor mounted to the electro-mechanical assembly and in communication with the first notification device when the first adsorbent container is mounted to the electro-mechanical assembly, the notification sensor in communication with the controller, the controller configured to modify a function and operation of the compressor and the valves to provide a desired level of oxygen to the patient based on identification of the first notification device by the notification sensor.
