How often do you have to call your current oxygen provider to drop off fresh oxygen tanks? Or how much time do you spend each day waiting for your oxygen tanks to refill with your filling station? Too often and too long may resemble the answers in your head, stop putting your life on hold and start improving your life with the freedoms that rechargeable batteries provide! The Inogen One G3 even gives you the option to choose the battery duration and weight that benefits you most. Offering a single 8-cell battery that comes standard or an additional cost double 16-cell battery option. Allowing you to better customize the G3 to your lifestyle needs. If you want the lightest overall package then the 8-cell is your go to option, or if you don’t mind a little additional weight in exchange for longer operation the 16-cell battery is calling your name. *Battery life is dependent on patient’s breaths per minute (BPM) The best option so you aren’t waiting for a battery to charge to resume using the G3, consider purchasing one or two additional batteries so you can be charging one while still being able to receive your prescription of supplemental oxygen.

Options are always better and when your battery dies either on the go or at home, you will be glad you have different charging options available. You can’t guarantee that you will be near a power outlet when your G3 dies, which is why the G3 has the ability to charge on the go through a standard cigarette lighter outlet with the DC power supply. Giving you the ability to charge in your car, truck, SUV, boat, and R.V. Even better is you won’t miss a pulse of oxygen, as it works and charges batteries on all settings when using the DC power supply. If you only have a single battery and are planning a cleaning day or just a relaxing day watching your favorite T.V. show at home, the AC power supply will be your go to charging option. The AC power supply is auto sensing allowing it to be used worldwide. Simply plug the power supply into the unit and into a wall outlet, you will have access to all settings and flow options throughout the duration of the charging cycle so you never miss a breath.

Whether you have a full day of errands or you just have a few chores to do around the house, if you have more than one battery for your G3 you will want to have the external battery charger in your oxygen accessory arsenal. Plugging into a wall outlet, like the AC power supply, the external charger allows for you to toss a depleted battery on the charger while you go about your day using your other battery to power the device. How often have you bought something only to open it up and turn it on and not be able to read the small print? That won’t be the case when you power up the Inogen One G3, offering a crisp LCD display with an illuminated background so you can operate it even with minimal light. The LCD display will also show the selected flow setting while also providing patients with a digital battery gauge and an estimated run time. Other features on the control panel include only what is needed to minimize confusion. The control panel has a power button, flow control, a display backlight button, and an audible alarm button so you can be notified if something goes wrong.

When using audible alarms an alarm icon will appear on the LCD screen as a reminder. You will never have to be an oxygen technician with the G3 by Inogen, which means the only preventative maintenance you will have to regularly do is cleaning and replacing the oxygen inlet filter on the backside of the machine. Washing only requires soap and warm water, be sure to let them air dry before inserting them back into the concentrator.

You, your health care provider and your oxygen supplier should all work together to choose the oxygen system that is right for you — one that takes into account your lifestyle and activities, as well as the amount of oxygen you need.

The goal is to have oxygen equipment that you can and will wear, so you can keep enjoying your usual activities. Some of the factors to consider when choosing your system and equipment are listed below: What type of equipment is available? The three types of oxygen systems currently available are: The compressed gas system consists of a stationary concentrator, to be used in the home, and a small oxygen tank, to be used outside the home. The liquid oxygen system consists of a stationary concentrator or reservoir to use while you are in your home and an ambulatory tank to use when you go out. The portable oxygen concentrator can serve as both the ambulatory device and the stationary concentrator in certain circumstances. Type of SystemAmbulatory ComponentStationary Component Compressed gas system Small, pre-filled tanks delivered to you on a weekly basis, depending on how much oxygen you are using, or tanks that fill overnight at home (aka a home-fill system) from your concentrator.

These small tanks must be used in conjunction with an oxygen conserving device or regulator (OCD) that delivers the oxygen in pulses, so that the oxygen supply lasts longer. Oxygen concentrator with 50-foot tubing Liquid oxygen systemSmall, refillable tank that you fill from the reservoir as neededOxygen reservoir with 50-foot Portable oxygen concentrator (POC)A small electric device that can be worn on the back or wheeled around, runs on regular electricity or a battery, is easily recharged even in a car, and requires no tanks or filling. The maximum tubing length for proper delivery of oxygen is 7 feet. These units can be taken onto airplanes. While the terms portable and ambulatory oxygen equipment are often used interchangeably, there is an important difference. In 1999, the 5th Oxygen Consensus Conference differentiated between portable and ambulatory oxygen systems. Portables are defined as easily moved devices that are not designed to be carried and weigh more than 10 pounds.

Ambulatory devices are defined as weighing less than 10 pounds, available for daily use, designed to be carried by the patient, and lasting four to six hours at a setting of 2 liters per minute. They are normally small aluminum cylinders or liquid oxygen containers equipped with oxygen conserving devices (OCDs). E tanks are the larger, older metal tanks that are wheeled around. They can be the right choice for some people and situations, but are generally not considered to be ambulatory devices. They are often used as back-up systems in the home, should the electric power in the home fail. The oxygen conserving device (OCD) is the device on your small compressed gas tank that makes the oxygen supply last longer. It causes the oxygen to be delivered only when you take a breath. Not all OCDs deliver the same amount of oxygen as a continuous flow would, so it is important that your oxygen saturation be tested at rest and with activity while you are using the OCD, to make sure you are getting enough oxygen.

Several accessories come with your oxygen equipment. In addition, there are other accessories to make wearing or carrying your oxygen more comfortable. Below are examples of a few basic accessories. Rates of 4 liters/minute or greater are considered higher oxygen flow. Where do I get my oxygen and equipment? Your provider can help you choose an oxygen company, or you may choose any company you want. Some insurance policies dictate which oxygen company you must use. Who will pay for my oxygen and equipment? Most insurance policies cover supplemental oxygen when the medical necessity for oxygen is demonstrated. This necessity is based on the oxygen saturation or the arterial blood gas measurements. Generally, if your O2 saturation falls below 89 percent, or your paO2 falls below 60 mm Hg — whether at rest, with activity or during sleep — then you qualify for supplemental oxygen.
