Transportable Oxygen Concentrator. Equipment Guide.04
The iGo™ concentrator works by drawing in air and separating the oxygen
from the other gases using a filter system. Oxygen is then delivered to you
by tubing which connects to the cannula or facemask for you to breathe.
The iGo™ transportable concentrator is small and lightweight, yet capable
of delivering up to 3 LPM of constant flow oxygen.
An ideal choice for travelling, the iGo™ can be operated from a standard
12 V car charger socket or from its lithium ion battery which will give the
user up to 5.4 hours of usage.

1Oxygen Outlet – oxygen is dispersed
through this port.
2Power button – turns the system
ON or OFF.
3No Breath Detected light (PulseDose
mode ONLY) – illuminates intermittently
and an audible alert sounds every
3 seconds if the iGo™ is operating in
PulseDose mode and does not detect
a breath for 30 seconds. If a breath is
detected during the alert, the alert
condition is cleared. If a breath is not
detected during the alert, the unit
changes to continuous flow mode after
60 seconds of alerting.
NOTE – Once the unit changes to
continuous flow, use the Mode Select
button to change back to PulseDose.
4a External Power light – illuminates when
the iGo™ system is connected to either
AC or external DC power. Power Fail
alert – illuminates intermittently with an
audible alert for 15 minutes. Pressing
the Power button stops the alert.
4b Green Normal Oxygen light – illuminates
when the iGo™ delivers greater than
84% oxygen purity.
4c Yellow Low Oxygen light – illuminates
if the iGo™ delivers 75% to 84%
oxygen purity.
5a Red Service Required light – illuminates
with an audible alert if the iGo™
delivers less than 75% oxygen purity
or if component failure is detected.
5b Mode Select button – selects the
mode of oxygen delivery (PulseDose
or continuous flow).
6a Flow Indicator light – in PulseDose
mode, pulses ON with every breath;
in continuous flow mode, illuminates
continuously.
6b Flow Rate Indicator lights – illuminate
the flow rate at which the iGo™ is set to
deliver oxygen.

7Flow Rate Control buttons – increase or
decrease the flow rates in PulseDose
(1 to 6 LPM) or continuous flow (1 to
3 LPM) as ordered by the physician.
8Battery Charge lights – indicate the
battery pack’s charge status. When the
battery is fully charged, all six lights
illuminate. As the battery discharges,
the lights turn off one by one. Each
illuminated light indicates approximately
45 minutes of battery charge at 2 LPM
in PulseDose mode.
How to use the iGo™.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure you read all accompanying literature supplied
prior to using your home oxygen equipment. In particular, pay attention
to the section on not smoking or allowing others to smoke near your
equipment.
1. Please follow all operating instructions.
2. Place your iGo™ in a suitable location.
3. Ensure that the air filter is installed in
the handle cavity.
4. Select Power Source:
• AC Operation – Plug cord into iGo™
and wall outlet.
• DC Operation – Plug cord into iGo™.
START CAR BEFORE INSERTING CORD
INTO DC ACCESSORY POWER PORT.
• Rechargeable Battery – Insert the
battery tabs into the slots in the
Battery Bay and push the battery
into the iGo™ unit until it is secure
and flush with the back of the unit.
NOTE: Rechargeable Battery must be
charged before first use. To completely
charge the battery, connect the AC Power
Cord and plug in. This may require up to
4.5 hours of uninterrupted charging. The
battery will not charge when connected to
a DC Power Port.
When the battery is charging, the lights
illuminate in a cycle pattern. When the
battery has approximately 10% of capacity,
a yellow battery light illuminates with a
single audible alert. When the battery
is depleted, the unit enters Power Fail
alert. Power Fail alert – illuminates
intermittently with an audible alert for
15 minutes. Pressing the Power button
stops the alert.

a standard nasal cannula to your nose
and face. Breathe normally through the
cannula.
8. Select Delivery Mode – Press the Mode
Select button. The iGo™ will come on at
the last mode and flow setting used.
Rechargable Battery.
Do’s and Don’ts.
• Keep the iGo™ at least 5 feet (1.6 m)
from hot, sparking objects or naked
sources of flame. The iGo™ should be
located so as to avoid pollutants
or fumes.
• Do not use oil or grease: A spontaneous
and violent ignition may occur if oil,
grease, or other petroleum substances
come into contact with oxygen under
pressure. Keep these substances away
from the oxygen system, tubing and
connections, and any other oxygen
source. Do not use any petroleum based
or other lubricants.
a. Continuous Flow – a continuous
supply of oxygen will flow through your
tubing and nasal cannula.
b. PulseDose – a pulse of oxygen is
released with each breath.
9. Check the Flow Rate – use the Flow Rate
Setting buttons to adjust the flow rate to
the setting prescribed by your clinician.
NOTE: BOC may have set the flow so that
it cannot be adjusted.
10.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.

Power failure/Concentrator breakdown.
What to do if your oxygen
concentrator breaks down or you
have a power failure.
Switch to your back-up cylinder and call the
Patient Service Centre on 0800 136 603
and explain what the problem is. They will
ask you a series of questions to determine
what the problem might be. It is crucial
that you give them as much help as you
can. They will then give you advice on how
to fix the problem or if this is not possible,
they will arrange for one of our PSRs to visit
you. Our free phone line 0800 136 603 is
open 24 hours a day every day of the year
to respond to emergencies.
If you feel unwell then it is important that
you contact your doctor so that he/she can
provide guidance.
Back-up cylinders
These cylinders are normally provided for
use in case of power failure or breakdown
of the concentrator.
What is an electricity refund?
As part of our service we will refund the
cost of electricity used by the oxygen
concentrator on a quarterly basis. After you
have been using the oxygen concentrator
for approximately 3 months, a BOC Patient
Service Representative (PSR) will ring
