trAvel/reserve oxygen system
PulseDose Flow settings should be determined for each patient individually� Settings from Continuous Flow applications may
not be applicable to PulseDose Mode�
As with conserving devices, the iGo may not be able to detect some respiratory efforts in PulseDose mode�
CAUTION– T o 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.
CAUTION– D o not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode. The iGo will not
detect a breath and will default to Continuous Flow.
NOTE–
A pediatric or low-flow cannula should not be used in PulseDose delivery mode. The reduced diameter of the cannula causes too
much back pressure and will affect the oxygen volume delivered.
NOTE–
P ulseDose delivers oxygen in a very short "puff." It does not deliver oxygen continuously. The length of time that PulseDose
delivers oxygen will not vary from breath to breath. The time is set in correlation to the patient's prescription setting.
NOTE–
Y ou will get longer operating time on your Battery if you operate your iGo in PulseDose mode.

Check the Flow Rate to make sure it is set to your prescription setting. If adjustment is needed, use the Flow Rate Setting buttons to adjust
the flow rate to the setting prescribed by your physician. NOTE–
adjusted.
Under certain circumstances, oxygen therapy can be hazardous� Seeking medical advice before using an oxygen concentrator
is advisable� It is very important to follow your oxygen prescription� Do not increase or decrease the flow of oxygen - consult
your physician�
8.
When you have finished using the iGo, press and hold the Power Button to turn Off. Store the iGo in a cool, dry location when not in use.
TRavel
The iGo has two options for portability; both are for use on pedestrian surfaces:
Rolling Carry Case
1.
Place the iGo in the carry case.
2.
The carry case has an opening for the cannula and one for external power connections. It also has several screened openings for airflow.
Never block the air openings. Do not use a carry case other than one approved by DeVilbiss.
3.
To adjust the handle height either pull up on the handle and/or press the button and push down on the handle.
CAUTION– The iGo should be taken as a carry-on item if traveling by air. If you are checking the iGo as luggage, it must be
packed in a protective case. The Rolling Carry Case does not provide adequate protection if checking the iGo.
Detachable Wheeled Cart
1.
Align the locator holes on the bottom of the unit to the tabs on the cart.
2.
Align the screw to the insert on the back of the iGo and hand- tighten the knob on the cart.
3.
Push the button on the cart handle to adjust the height.
CAUTION– When transporting the iGo, care should be taken to avoid excessive shock.
NOTE–
B efore starting a trip, check with your DeVilbiss provider for options (e.g. extra battery/AC Cord for use at destination). Refer to
Accessories for appropriate cord.
ReseRve oXYGen sYsTeM
As a precaution, your DeVilbiss provider may supply you with a reserve oxygen system. If your unit loses electrical power or fails to operate
correctly, the Patient Alert System will sound to signal you to switch to your reserve oxygen system (if provided). Contact your DeVilbiss provider.
Availability of an alternate source of oxygen is recommended in case of power outage or mechanical failure� Consult your
physician for the type of back-up system required� Do not ignore alerts�
