Initial Battery Operation
The new battery packaged with your iGo Portable Oxygen System is not fully charged. Before using your iGo for the first time, you must install and
fully charge the battery.
1.
Connect the AC Power Cord and plug in to completely charge the battery. This may require up to 4.5 hours of uninterrupted charging.
In the event of a power interruption, the iGo Portable Oxygen System will automatically switch to the battery operation if installed. When AC
power is restored, the battery will automatically start recharging. If the battery is not present during a power interruption, the Power Fail alert will
activate and the iGo will stop operation. When power is restored, unit will resume oxygen production unless the Power Button was pressed to
stop the Power Fail Alert.
Typical Battery Recharge Time
The typical time to recharge your battery from a fully discharged condition is 2.0 hours to 4.5 hours dependent upon the flow setting. If the Battery
is too warm, charging will not begin until it sufficiently cools. Extreme temperature (high or low) may extend charge time.
oPeRaTInG YoUR IGo
Do not leave iGo running when not in use� Do not leave cannula unattended while unit is delivering oxygen� High concentrations of
oxygen can cause rapid burning� Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area�
1.
Check to see if the air filter is in place before using. If the air filter needs to be cleaned, wash with soapy water and allow to dry before using.
If necessary, replace with a new air filter.
2.
Plug unit into AC Power, DC Power, or make sure there is a charged Battery installed.
NOTE–
Every time a button is pressed or when a change to the power source occurs, the iGo will give a short audible chirp.
3.
Connect the tubing to the oxygen outlet and the cannula.
If tubing becomes disconnected during operation, iGo does not alert� Check flow at the cannula to verify oxygen delivery�
4.
Attach a standard nasal cannula to the oxygen outlet and to your nose and face. Breathe normally through the cannula.
CAUTION– To ensure there is adequate flow to deliver oxygen, the length of the tubing must not exceed 50 feet (15.2m) when
using Continuous Flow Mode, and must not exceed 35 feet (10.5m) when operating in PulseDose Mode for adequate
breath detection.
5.
Press and hold the Power Button to turn your iGo On. When the unit is turned On, all the lights on the control panel will illuminate briefly and
audible alert will briefly activate.
a.
When using External Power:
1) In PulseDose mode: After a few seconds, the External Power, Normal Oxygen, and Flow Rate lights will remain lit. The Flow Indicator
Light will pulse with each breath. If a battery is installed, the Battery Status Lights will either illuminate indicating battery charge level
or cycle indicating battery is charging.
2) In Continuous Flow mode: After a few seconds, the External Power, Normal Oxygen, Flow Indicator, and Flow Rate lights will remain
lit. If a battery is installed, the Battery Status Lights will either illuminate indicating battery charge level or cycle indicating battery is
charging.
b.
When using Battery Power:
1) In PulseDose mode: After a few seconds, the Normal Oxygen and Flow Rate lights will remain lit. The Battery Status Gauge Lights will
also be lit indicating battery charge level. The Flow Indicator Light will pulse with each breath.
2) In Continuous Flow mode: After a few seconds, the Normal Oxygen, Flow Rate, and Flow Indicator lights will remain lit. The Battery
Status Gauge Lights will also be lit indicating battery charge level.
NOTE–
The DeVilbiss iGo has an oxygen sensing device (OSD) to monitor oxygen purity once the oxygen stabilization process is
complete (after approximately the first 20 minutes of operation). Once stabilized, the OSD monitors the oxygen purity and will
alert if purity falls below an acceptable level.
6.
To change your Delivery Mode, press the Mode Select button. The iGo will come on at the last mode and flow setting used.
a.
Continuous Flow Operation - When operating in Continuous Flow Mode, a continuous supply of oxygen will flow through your tubing
and nasal cannula.
b.
PulseDose Operation - When operating in PulseDose mode, an alert will beep after 30 seconds if a breath is not detected. If another 60
seconds elapses and no breath is detected, the unit will switch to Continuous Flow at the last Continuous Flow setting used.
