4. Power sources (AC, DC, Battery)
The Inogen One
®
G5 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.
It is important to regularly drain the battery
to 0%, and then fully recharge it: this helps
the battery maintain its full power capacity
for longer.
AC operation (mains)
Connect the AC power plug to mains power.
Then connect the AC power output plug into
the Inogen One
®
G5 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
®
G5.
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 on your Inogen One
®
G5 by pressing
the ON/OFF Button. A single short beep will
sound after the Inogen logo is displayed.
Please wait icon (
) will appear while
the concentrator starts up. The display
will indicate the selected flow setting and
power condition. Following a brief start-up
sequence, a warm up period up to 2 minutes
will initiate. During this time period the
oxygen concentration is building to but may
not have reached specification. Additional
warm up time may be needed if your Inogen
One
®
G5 has been stored in extremely cold
temperatures.
7. Pulsed flow setting
When powered up, the Inogen One
®
G5
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, 5 or 6 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 and
breathe through your nose. The Inogen One
G5 will sense the onset of inhalation and
deliver a burst of oxygen at a precise time
when you inhale. The Inogen One
®
G5 will
sense each breath and continue to deliver
oxygen in this manner. As your breathing rate
changes, the Inogen One
G5 will sense these
®
changes and deliver oxygen only as you need
it. At times, if you inhale very quickly between
breaths the Inogen One
®
G5 may ignore
one of the breaths, giving the appearance
of a missed breath. This may be normal as
the Inogen One
®
G5 senses and monitors
the changes in your breathing pattern. The
Inogen One
®
G5 will normally sense the next
breath and deliver oxygen accordingly.
A green light will flash each time a breath is
detected. Make certain that the nasal cannula
is properly aligned on your face and you are
breathing through your nose.
9. Power OFF
When you are finished using the device,
press and hold the ON/OFF button for
approximately one second. Store the Inogen
One
®
G5 unit in a cool, dry location when not
in use.
