OPERATING PRINCIPALS

This device works by separating oxygen from air using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process. Normal air consists of 21% oxygen; this device increases the amount of oxygen up to 96% by removing the nitrogen and concentrating the output of oxygen. To accomplish this, air is pulled into the device through a small air compressor, nitrogen is separated from the oxygen and finally, the oxygen is collected and delivered to the patient on each breath.

Because the oxygen you breathe comes from your immediate environment, it is very important to keep your device clean. Although there are many filters built into the device, exposing your device to dirty and dusty environments will reduce the life of the filters causing them to need to be replaced more often.

The device maintains the following as essential performance requirements without the need for recurrent testing:

  1. Alarm condition when the delivery of oxygen, in both normal and single fault conditions, is not within the performance levels as indicated in this manual.
  2. Technical alarm condition when there is a power supply failure.
  3. Technical alarm condition when the battery nears depletion.
  4. Technical alarm condition when the oxygen concentration is below 82% volume fraction.
  5. Malfunction technical alarm condition.
  6. The delivery of an oxygen dose, in normal condition or an indication of abnormal operation.

    • If the battery has been removed, go back to PREPARING YOUR CONCENTRATOR FOR USE, step 2, "Install the Battery" for steps to re-install the battery.
  3. Set your concentrator's flow setting
    • Set the flow setting as prescribed by your physician or clinician.
    • Use the + or – setting buttons to adjust to the desired setting.
    • The current setting can be viewed on the display next to the settings symbol .

      It is normal to hear a difference in sound as you change the flow setting.
      Set your concentrator to flow settings prescribed by your doctor. The flow rate is prescribed by your physician; it is a "dose" of oxygen. Too high or too low a rate may eventually lead to harm.
  4. Use your concentrator
    • Position the nasal cannula below your nose with the small tubes directed upward into your nose and loop the tubing snuggly around your ears per the cannula manufacturer's instructions.
    • Breathe through your nose. Your concentrator will sense the onset of inhalation and deliver a burst of oxygen at a precise time when you inhale. The device will sense each breath and continue to deliver oxygen in this manner. As your breathing rate changes, it will sense these changes and deliver oxygen as you need it.
    • A green light will flash each time a breath is detected.
      Continue to make certain the nasal cannula is properly aligned on your face and you are breathing through your nose.
      DO NOT use your concentrator if you feel ill or uncomfortable.
      DO NOT use your concentrator if the concentrator does not signal an oxygen pulse.
      DO NOT use your concentrator if you are unable to hear and/or feel the oxygen pulse.
      DO NOT use your concentrator if you cannot hear the audible alarms.
      DO NOT allow smoking or open flames within 6.56 ft / 2 m of your concentrator.
      DO NOT actively smoke while using your concentrator.
    • If you smoke, you must always turn your concentrator off, remove the cannula, and leave the room where either the cannula or your concentrator are located. If unable to leave the room, you must wait 10 minutes after the flow of oxygen has been stopped.
      DO NOT leave the nasal cannula on bed coverings or chair cushions when POC is turned on but not in use.

      For maintenance of the cannula, refer to the cannula manufacturer's instructions or follow the advice of your healthcare professional. If you inhale very quickly between breaths, the device may ignore one of the breaths, giving the appearance of a missed breath. This is normal, as the device senses and monitors the changes in your breathing pattern. The device will normally sense the next breath and deliver oxygen accordingly.
  5. Carry Accessories Carry Bag:
    • To use the Carry Bag (CA-500) if desired, attach a battery. Insert the device into the Carry Bag through the bottom zippered opening with the cannula barb facing up on the right front side.

BATTERY LIFETIME AND CARE

The device's batteries are designed to last 500 charge/discharge cycles.


Always keep liquids away from batteries. If batteries become wet, discontinue use immediately and dispose of battery properly.
To extend the run-time of your battery, avoid running in temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F ) or higher than 35˚C (95˚F) for extended periods of time. Store battery in a cool, dry place. Store with a charge of 40-50%.

Batteries should be charged up to a full charge and discharged down to 0% at least once every 90 days to maintain maximum life.

NASAL CANNULA


The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is critical for oxygen to be delivered. Make sure the nasal cannula is properly connected to the nozzle fitting and that the tubing is not kinked or pinched in any way. Replace the nasal cannula on a regular basis.


Nasal cannula should be rated up to 6 liters per minute to ensure proper oxygen delivery. Note that cannulas may be rated in "liters per minute" even though your prescribed pulse dose setting number does not represent a constant flow in liters per minute.

A nasal cannula must be used with the device to provide oxygen from the concentrator. A single lumen cannula up to 7.62 meters (25 feet) in length is recommended to ensure proper breath detection and oxygen delivery.

Note that per FAA regulations, all extra batteries are to be individually wrapped and protected to prevent short circuits and carried in carry-on baggage onboard aircraft only.

The AC Power Supply cannot be used to charge the device battery when onboard aircraft. If traveling by bus, train or boat, contact your carrier to find out about power port availability.

STORING YOUR CONCENTRATOR

Store your concentrator

  • Remove the battery from the concentrator.
  • Store concentrator, battery and power accessories in a cool, dry place.
  • Store your battery with a charge of 40-50%.

DO NOT store in temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F) or higher than 35˚C (95˚F) for extended periods of time.
DO NOT place objects on top of the concentrator or packaged concentrator.

RESPONDING TO ALARMS


If you are unable to hear or see alarms, do not have normal tactile sensitivity, or cannot communicate discomfort, consult your clinician before using this device.

Pressing the bell button will enable (turn on) and disable (turn off) the no-breath-detect alarm. When the audible no-breath-detect alarm is ON (because the concentrator has not detected a breath for 60 seconds, see ALARM INDICATORS & DEVICE ICON GLOSSARY Section: alarms for no-breath-detect alarm conditions), the concentrator will emit three beeps, repeated every 25 seconds and will have a flashing yellow light. When this alarm is triggered, the concentrator will begin to deliver pulses of oxygen at a rate of 20 boluses per minute. When the audible no-breath-detect alarm is OFF, the concentrator will respond the same way when no breath is detected for 60 seconds BUT the repeating 3 beeps will not be produced. Whether the no-breath-detect mode is on or off, it does not impact the alarm functionality of any other device alarms or notifications.


The alarm system is tested during the startup sequence. You should see all alarm lights briefly turn on and the audible alarm indicator chirp. If alarms are suspected of misoperating, contact your distributor for verification that alarms are working correctly.

ALARMS

The device monitors various parameters during operation and utilizes an intelligent alarm system to indicate a malfunction of the concentrator. Mathematical algorithms and time delays are used to reduce the probability of false alarms while still ensuring proper notification of an alarm condition. If multiple alarm conditions are detected, the highest priority alarm will be displayed. Note that failure to respond to the cause of an alarm condition potentially will result in discomfort or reversible minor injury only (e.g., reduced oxygen supply or a burn). In case of an alarm, seek to address the issue and/or switch to a backup source of oxygen.


Audible alarms are to warn the user of problems. To ensure that audible alarms may be heard, the maximum distance that the user can move away from it must be determined based on the surrounding noise level. Make sure the device is in a location where the alarms can be heard or seen if they occur.

The following section provides a listing and description of every possible alarm condition. The alarm system is intended to notify an operator while wearing the device in a shoulder bag or while the device is set down within range of an acceptable nasal cannula.

If the power plug is removed when a battery is connected, the alarms will work normally. If there is no battery or the device is not connected to AC or DC power, the alarms will not activate because there is no power. With the battery connected, a power loss lasting less than 30 seconds will have no effect on the alarm system.


If multiple alarm conditions are detected, the highest priority alarm will be displayed.


Failure to respond to the cause of an alarm will result in discomfort or reversible injury only (e.g. reduced oxygen supply or a burn). In case of an alarm, seek to address the issue and/or switch to a backup source of oxygen.

ALARM LOG

The device maintains a patient accessible alarm log that allows for the last alarm to be accessed and viewed on the LCD (except for the no-breath-detect, check cannula, battery low / attach plug and battery empty / attach plug alarms). The alarm log is retained in memory after the device experiences a total loss of power. To access the alarm log, ensure the concentrator is plugged and turned off. Then hold the plus (+) button for 5 seconds. Alternatively, the alarm log can be found in the Advanced Tab of the Inogen Connect App under Error Recall.

Once a new alarm is activated the new alarm overwrites the previous alarm. The alarm log is retained in memory after the device is powered down. The time elapsed since the error occurred is displayed with the last alarm on the alarm log. The device also maintains a service and repair alarm log that is not accessible by the patient.
