Editor: In the referenced article, they say
中国、新加坡、巴基斯坦等国在内的“近邻”,英国、法国、德国等西方国家在内的“远朋”都纷纷伸出援手,向印度提供呼吸机、制氧机等医疗物资。

I don't think that's oxygenators. An oxygenator is "an apparatus that oxygenates the blood extracorporeally (as during open-heart surgery)".
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oxygenator
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygenator

That's not what India desperately needs at the moment. What they need is *oxygen concentrators*.

Web ~ "The first life-saving assistance package to help India meet the urgent need for ventilators and oxygen concentrators in its devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has been dispatched by the UK and is due to arrive in New Delhi in the early hours of Tuesday."

"An oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator

The matching Chinese Wikipedia article is titled 製氧機:
製氧機又叫氧氣濃縮器,是一種設備,當氣體(通常是環境當中的空氣)放入該機器時,製氧機可以選擇性地去除氮氣來濃縮氣體當中的氧氣,從而生成富含氧氣的氣體。家用醫用制氧機於20世紀70年代初發明。

"What is an Oxygen Concentrator?
