English 3 Operating Instructions General Instructions Exhaust 1. Place the Inogen One® G3 in a well ventilated location. Air intake and exhaust must have clear access. Locate the Inogen One® G3 in such a way that any auditory alarms may be heard. ! Intake WARNING Avoid use of the Inogen One® G3 in presence of pollutants, smoke or fumes. Do not use the Inogen One® G3 in presence of flammable C anesthetics, cleaning agents or other chemical vapors.
CAUTION The Inogen One® G3 battery acts as a secondary power supply in the event of a planned or unexpected loss of the AC or DC external power supply. When operating the Inogen One® G3 from an AC or DC external power supply, a properly inserted Inogen One® G3 battery should be maintained in the unit. This procedure will ensure uninterrupted operation and will operate all alarms and alerts in the event of a loss of the external power supply. 4. Connect the Power Supply.
English NOTE When the power supply is disconnected from the AC outlet, also disconnect it from the concentrator to avoid unnecessary battery discharge. 5. Connect the nasal cannula tubing to the nozzle fitting. Nozzle fitting is located on the top of the Inogen One® G3. Use of a single lumen cannula up to 25 feet in length is recommended to ensure proper breath detection and oxygen delivery. Additional titration may be needed to ensure proper oxygen delivery when using a particular cannula.
8. Position the nasal cannula on your face and breathe through your nose. The Inogen One® G3 will sense the onset of inhalation and deliver a burst of oxygen at a precise time when you inhale. The Inogen One® G3 will sense each breath and continue to deliver oxygen in this manner. As your breathing rate changes, the Inogen One® G3 will sense these changes and deliver oxygen only as you need it.
English Additional Operating Instructions For Use In Home with AC Power For operation of the power supply using an AC power source, follow these instructions: 1. Connect the AC input to the power supply. 2. Connect the AC power plug to the power source and connect the power output plug to the Inogen One® G3. The green LED will be illuminated, indicating the power supply has input power.
4. Check the device display screen to confirm that an external power supply is connected. An icon of a battery with a lightning bolt or an AC power plug will be displayed on the screen, indicating that external power is connected and functioning properly. ! WARNING Ensure that the automobile power socket is adequately fused for the Inogen One® G3 power requirements (minimum 15 Amp). If the power socket cannot C support a 15 Amp load, the fuse may blow or the socket may be damaged.
