How to use the Inogen One
4. Power sources (AC, DC, Battery)
The Inogen One
®
G3 portable concentrator
can operate from AC, DC or battery power,
with the detachable battery acting as a
secondary power supply in the event of
power loss (AC or DC). Therefore, when
operating the device from AC or DC power,
you should always keep a properly-inserted
battery in the unit. This will ensure
uninterrupted operation and continuous
oxygen production.
AC operation (mains)
Connect the AC power plug to mains power.
Then connect the AC power output plug into
the Inogen One
®
G3 device as shown below.
The LED on the power supply will illuminate
and a beep will sound from the concentrator.
DC operation (eg. car 12 volt)
Connect the DC power plug to a 12 volt car
power outlet or auxiliary DC power supply.
Then connect the DC power plug into the
Inogen One
®
G3 device as shown below.

Battery operation
To operate the device via its detachable
battery, install the battery by sliding it into
place at the bottom of the device until an
audible click is heard and the battery latch
returns to the upper position.
5. Connect nasal cannula
The oxygen outlet fitting is located at the top
of the device. Push your high-flow nasal
cannula tubing onto this, ensuring a good
seal and tight fit between the tubing and
oxygen outlet.
6. Turn on device
Turn the device on by pressing the ON/OFF
button. A single, short beep will sound after
the logo is displayed. The display will show the
selected flow setting and power condition.
Following this, the device takes up to 2 minutes
to warm up (longer if stored in a cold
environment). During this time, the oxygen
purity of the device is building to – but may
not reach – specification. You should therefore
leave the device to run for at least two minutes
prior to use.
7. Pulsed flow setting
When powered up, the Inogen One
®
G3
device retains the previous setting it was used
at. If you need to change this, use the "+"
or "–" setting buttons to adjust to the
desired setting (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 pulsed flow).
The current setting is viewed on the display.
Note: you should only use the device at the
setting prescribed by your clinician (or only
change as clinically instructed).
8. Oxygen delivery
Position the nasal cannula on your face with
the soft prongs sitting just inside your nostrils
and breathe through your nose. The Inogen
One
®
G3 device will sense the onset of
inhalation and deliver a pulse of oxygen when
you inhale through your nose. Thereafter,
the device senses each breath and delivers
oxygen every time you inhale through your
nose, even if your breathing rate changes.
Note: A green light will flash on the top of
the unit each time a breath is detected.
Make sure the nasal cannula is properly
aligned on your face and you are breathing
through your nose to trigger the device to
deliver pulses of oxygen.

When you are finished using the device,

approximately one second. Store the Inogen
One
®
G3 unit in a cool, dry location when
not in use.
