The Inogen One G2 Universal Power Supply is specifically designed for use with the Inogen One G2 Oxygen Concentrator. The Universal Power Supply provides the precise current and voltage required to safely power the Inogen G2, and is designed to operate from specified AC and DC power sources. When used with AC power sources, the supply automatically adapts to input voltages from 100V to 240V permitting use with most power sources throughout the world.

The Universal Power Supply will charge the Inogen One G2 Battery when used with AC input power or when used with a DC power supply, such as the one found in your car. Due to aircraft power limitations, the Universal Power Supply cannot be used to charge the Inogen One G2 Battery when used on an aircraft.

The Universal Power Supply is used with the following components:

• Power Supply with attached power output cable to connect to the Inogen One G2
• Auto DC cigarette lighter power input cable
• AC power input cable

Mobile Cart
The mobile cart has wheels and a telescoping handle to provide easy transport of the Inogen One G2. The G2 can be operated while using the mobile cart. The mobile cart is easy to use, just place the carry bag over the cart, and make sure the cart handle is inserted between the elastic strap in the back of the carry bag and in the front of the carry bag and its ready to be used.

24 Cell Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery
The Ion battery powers the Inogen One G2 without having to connect it to an external power source. When fully charged, the will can provide between 4 and 8 hours of operation depending on flow setting. The battery recharges when properly installed in the G2 and the concentrator in connected to a AC or DC power source. Recharging time is up to 8 hours for a fully charged battery.

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula must be used with the Inogen One G2 to provide oxygen from the concentrator to the patient. A single lumen cannula up to 25 feet in length to ensure proper breath detection and oxygen delivery is recommended.
Airline DC 4-Pin Power Input Cable
DC 4-Pin Power Plug is for using during flights to charge the Inogen One G2. Some airlines don’t have the port or will not allow it, so please check with the airline for power port availability.

Warm up time is another significant improvement of the G2. The old unit could take up to 30 minutes to warm up. The G2 only takes a mere 2 minutes to warm up. That could save the patient 28 minutes of waiting for the unit to warm up and be ready to use.

The biggest improvement of the Inogen One G2 is battery life. The original Inogen had a battery life of only 2 to 3 hours depending on the flow setting; this could provide a huge inconvenience for the patient especially if they were planning a long flight or trip. The patient would have to bring extra batteries to replace the depleted ones. The Inogen G2 has battery times of up to 8 hours depending on the flow settings. This will let the patient to take extended flights without replacing for charging the battery.
Inogen designed the G2 to make life easier for the patient to use and operate. These improvements will make living with a concentrator more enjoyable.

The Inogen One should be placed in a well ventilated area. The air intake and exhaust must have clear access. Make sure you place the Inogen One in such a way that you can hear any alarms. Open the battery door and insert the Inogen One Battery with the handle of the battery up and press firmly to make sure the battery is in the correct position. After the battery is installed and close the battery door. Plug the Inogen One into a AC Power Supply and connect the AC Power Cord to the AC Power Supply. Connect the AC Power Supply to the Inogen One. Once it is plugged in, a beep will sound. Connect the nasal tubbing to the nozzle fitting. The nozzle fitting is located next to the handle of the Inogen One. Use only a single lumen cannula with a length of 7 feet or less.

Turn on the Inogen by pressing the ON/OFF button. A single short beep will sound after the Inogen logo is displayed. “Please Wait” will appear while the connector starts up. The display will indicate the selected flow setting and power condition. Following the start-up , the Inogen will have a warm up period up to 30 minutes. During this time period the oxygen concentrator is building, but may not have reached specification. However, the Inogen can and should be used immediately. Additional warm up time may be needed if your Inogen has been stored in cold temperatures.

Position the nasal cannula on your face and breathe through your nose.

The Inogen will sense the onset of inhalation and deliver a burst of oxygen at a precise time when you inhale. It will sense each breathe and continue to deliver oxygen in this manner. As your breathing rate changes, the Inogen One will sense these changes and deliver oxygen only as you need it. At times, if you inhale very quickly between breaths the Inogen may ignore one of the breaths, giving the appearance of a missed breathe. This may be normal as the Inogen senses and monitors the changes in your breathing pattern. The Inogen will normally sense the next breathe and deliver oxygen accordingly. A green light will flash each time a breath is detected. Make sure the nasal cannula is properly aligned on your face and your breathing though your nose.

Passengers on U.S. commercial aircraft now may bring any of 11 different portable oxygen concentrators on board and use them, with the approval of the aircraft operator, thanks to an FAA final rule that was published and immediately effective Wednesday.

The rule signed by FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt amended Special Federal Aviation Regulation 106, Use of Certain Portable Oxygen Concentrator Devices on Board Aircraft, to allow the use of DeVilbiss Healthcare Inc.’s iGo, International Biophysics Corporation’s LifeChoice, Inogen Inc.’s Inogen One G2, and Oxlife LLC.’s Oxlife Independence Oxygen Concentrator.

POCs are small, FDA-regulated machines that separate oxygen from nitrogen and other gases contained in ambient air and dispense it in concentrated form to the user, with an oxygen concentration of about 90 percent. They can use rechargeable batteries or, if the aircraft operator obtains FAA approval, aircraft electrical power, and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has determined the four POCs are not hazardous materials. That means they do not require the same level of special handling as compressed oxygen and are safe for use on board aircraft, provided certain conditions for their use are met.

SFAR 106, originally published in July 2005, already allowed passengers to carry on and use AirSep Corporation’s LifeStyle and FreeStyle; Inogen’s Inogen One; SeQual Technologies’ Eclipse; Philips Respironics Inc.’s EverGo; Delphi Medical Systems’ RS-00400; and Invacare Corporation’s XPO2.

The contact for more information about this rule is David Catey of the Air Transportation Division, FAA Flight Standards Service, at 202-267-8166.

In the rule, FAA said it still intends to develop a performance-based standard for all future POC devices but wants to ensure such a standard does not hamper innovative technologies by the manufacturers. “This process is time-consuming and we intend to publish a notice in the Federal Register and offer the public a chance to comment on the proposal when it is complete. In the meantime, manufacturers continue to create new and better POCs, and several have requested that their product also be included as an acceptable device in SFAR 106,” the agency explained.
