Oxygen Therapy

An Efficient and Effective Oxygen Delivery System

An Efficient and Effective Oxygen Delivery System

When a patient is in need of oxygen therapy, a system that delivers oxygen efficiently and effectively is critical. Inogen portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) ensure oxygen is delivered within the first 250 milliseconds of inspiration – where oxygen has the most effect on lung gas exchange. At Inogen, we’re dedicated to the design, development and manufacture of clinically efficacious oxygen technologies.

How Inogen Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs) Work

Inogen POCs are lightweight devices (1,5 to 2,2 kgs with standard battery) which may be used in the home, institution, and transport modalities.

They provide a high concentration of supplemental oxygen to patients requiring respiratory therapy on a prescriptive basis. Inogen POCs deliver medical grade oxygen via a nasal cannula, removing nitrogen to deliver oxygen-rich air.

The devices are powered by a rechargeable battery or standard AC or DC power sources.

Advantages of Our Intelligent Delivery Technology®

Inogen POCs are proven to provide medical grade oxygen all day, every day. The proprietary intelligent Delivery Technology is adaptable to changing environments while also monitoring oxygen delivery in order to minimize missed breaths.

The Intelligent Delivery Technology found in all Inogen products utilizes triggering sensitivity to quickly detect a breath and deliver oxygen.

  • As breathing rate slows, our Intelligent Delivery Technology increases bolus doses.
  • Intelligent Delivery Technology has the ability to detect shallow mouth breaths at night, triggering a bolus dose based on a fixed minute volume.
  • Efficacy of our Intelligent Delivery Technology has been validated in clinical studies published in peer-reviewed journals.

Inogen POCs deliver oxygen via Pulse Dose mechanisms (as opposed to Continuous Flow). The Pulse Dose technology utilizes an oxygen conserver to deliver oxygen based on inhalation rates, allowing the proper amount of oxygen to be delivered during all phases of daily activity and during rest.

We’re Grounded in Peer Reviewed and Published Clinical Research

As an innovator of oxygen technology and portable oxygen equipment to enhance the lives of patients, we believe it is important to present sound, evidence-based data to support the use of our oxygen therapy devices. We have completed and published numerous reports focused on clinical data supporting Inogen’s system of portable oxygen concentrators.
