and General Precautions
Intended Use, Contraindications and General Precautions Chapter 1
Intended Use
The Inogen One® G4 Oxygen Concentrator is used on a prescriptive basis by patients
requiring supplemental oxygen. It supplies a high concentration of oxygen and is used
with a nasal cannula to channel oxygen from the concentrator to the patient. The Inogen
One® G4 may be used in home, institution, vehicle and various mobile environments.
CAUTION USA Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician. May also be applicable in other countries.
CAUTION Nasal cannula should be rated for 3 liters per minute (e.g. Salter Labs
16SOFT) to ensure proper patient usage and oxygen delivery.
WARNING Availability of an alternate source of oxygen is recommended in case of
power outage or mechanical failure. Consult your equipment provider for
type of back-up system recommended.
CAUTION It is the responsibility of the patient to make back-up arrangements for
alternative oxygen supply when traveling; Inogen assumes no liability for
persons choosing not to adhere to manufacturer recommendations.
The expected life for the Inogen One® G4 Oxygen System is 5 years, with the exception
of the sieve beds (metal columns) which have an expected life of 1 year and the batteries,
which have an expected life of 500 full charge/discharge cycles.

Power Supply Options
Single and Double Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries
The battery will power the Inogen One® G4 without
connection to an external power source. When fully
charged, a single battery will provide up to 2.7 hours of
operation; a double battery will provide up to 5 hours of
operation. The battery recharges when properly installed
in the Inogen One® G4 and the concentrator is connected
to AC or DC power. Recharging time is up to 3 hours for a single battery and 5 hours for a
double battery. See information in the “Battery Care and Maintenance” section.
Power Supply
Overview
The Inogen One® G4 AC power supply (BA-401) is used to power the Inogen One® G4
concentrator from an AC power source.
Description
The Inogen One® G4 AC power supply is specifically designed for use with the Inogen
One® G4 Oxygen Concentrator (IO-400). The AC power supply provides the precise
current and voltage required to safely power the Inogen One® G4 and is designed to
operate from specified AC power sources. When used with AC power sources, the power
supply automatically adapts to input voltages from 100V to 240V (50-60HZ) permitting
use with most power sources throughout the world.
The AC power supply will charge the Inogen One® G4 Batteries when used with AC input
power. Due to aircraft power limitations, the AC Power Supply cannot be used to charge
the Inogen One® G4 Battery when used on an aircraft.
The AC power supply is used with the following components:
• Power supply with attached power output cable to connect to the Inogen One® G4
• AC power input cable
The DC power cable (BA-306) is specifically designed for use with the Inogen One®
G4 Oxygen Concentrator (IO-400). The DC power input cable connects directly to
the automobile cigarette lighter or auxiliary DC power supply. Refer to Chapter 3 for
additional operating instructions for use with DC power source.

General Instructions
1. Place the Inogen One® G4 in a well ventilated location.
Air intake and exhaust must have clear access.
Locate the Inogen One® G4 in such a way that any
auditory alerts may be heard. Always operate the
Inogen One® G4 in an upright position (see image
for proper orientation).
WARNING Avoid use of the Inogen One® G4 in presence of pollutants, smoke
or fumes. Do not use the Inogen One® G4 in presence of flammable
anesthetics, cleaning agents or other chemical vapors.
CAUTION Do not obstruct air intake or exhaust when operating the device.
Blockage of air circulation or proximity to a heat source may lead to
internal heat buildup and shutdown or damage to the concentrator.
CAUTION The Inogen One® G4 Concentrator is designed for continuous use. For
optimal sieve bed (columns) life, the product should be used frequently.
2. Ensure particle filter is in place.
CAUTION Do not operate the Inogen One® G4 without the
particle filter in place. Particles drawn into the
system may damage the equipment.

3. Install the battery.
Insert the Inogen One® G4 battery by sliding
battery into place until the latch returns to the
upper position.
CAUTION The Inogen One® G4 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® G4 from an AC or DC external power supply, a
properly inserted Inogen One® G4 battery should be maintained in the unit.
This procedure will ensure uninterrupted operation and will operate all alerts
and alerts in the event of a loss of the external power supply.
4. Connect the Power Supply.
Connect the AC input plug to the power supply. Connect the AC power
plug to the power source and connect the power output plug to the
Inogen One® G4. The green LED on the power supply will be illuminated
and a beep will sound from the concentrator.
CAUTION Ensure the power supply is in a well ventilated location as it relies on
air circulation for heat dissipation. The power supply may become hot during
operation. Make sure the power supply cools down before handling.
CAUTION The power supply is not water resistant.
CAUTION Do not disassemble the power supply. This may lead to component failure
and/or safety risk.
CAUTION Do not place anything in the power supply port other than the supplied wall
cord. Avoid the use of electrical extension cords with the Inogen One® G4.
If an extension cord must be used, use an extension cord that has an
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Mark and a minimum wire thickness of
18 gauge. Do not connect any other devices to the same extension cord.

Operating Instructions Chapter 3
NOTE Under certain conditions (see Technical Specifications) the power
supply may shut down. The green LED will blink or will no longer be
illuminated. If this occurs, disconnect the power supply for at least 10
seconds and reconnect.
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® G4.
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.
CAUTION
To ensure oxygen flow, ensure that the nasal cannula is properly connected to
the nozzle fitting and that the tubing is not kinked or pinched in any way.
CAUTION
Replace the nasal cannula on a regular basis. Check with your equipment
provider or physician to determine how often the cannula should be replaced.
6. Turn on your Inogen One® G4 by pressing the ON/OFF Button.
A single short beep will sound after the Inogen logo is displayed.
“Please Wait” will appear while the concentrator starts up. The display
will indicate the selected flow setting and power condition. Following a
brief start-up sequence, a warm up period up to 2 minutes will initiate.
During this time period the oxygen concentration is building to but may
not have reached specification. Additional warm up time may be needed
if your Inogen One® G4 has been stored in extremely cold temperatures.
7. Set the Inogen One® G4 Concentrator to the flow rate prescribed by your
physician or clinician.
Use the + or – setting buttons to adjust the Inogen One® G4 to the desired setting.
The current setting can be viewed on the display.
