Inogen One Portable Oxygen System
For people with COPD, Emphysema, and other breathing disorders the simplest of tasks can become incredible hurdles. Becoming out of breath from simply answering the door, getting the mail, or taking a shower are issues people with COPD live with each day. The traditional means of treating these diseases, oxygen therapy, means lugging heavy cylinders or being tied to a stationary oxygen concentrator. Leaving the house means lugging cylinders and constantly worrying about running out of oxygen. The Inogen One, a new portable oxygen system,  solves these problems.

The Inogen One is an oxygen system that functions both as your stationary concentrator and as your portably oxygen system. It works just like the ones typically used in the home, but a fraction of the size (it’s about the size of a toaster)! The Inogen One contains a battery pack that allows the user to be incredibly mobile. On a full charge the concentrator will last about 3 hours (at 2lpm). That may sound short, but consider that it can be plugged in and charged anywhere (home and car chargers are included). You can also purchase additional battery packs which will last approximately 3 hours each. 

This means that going to the store, fishing with your grandson, or walking your granddaughter down the isle are all within your grasp!
Traveling with traditional oxygen tanks is quite complicated. You need to have a good supply of cylinders and lug a heavy concentrator with you. Not to mention that airlines prohibit compressed cylinders onboard.

With the Inogen One traveling is a breeze. Since it’s FAA approved all major airlines will allow you to take it with you and use it during flight! Some airplanes are even equipped with power supplies in the seats. These are the same power supplies that lap top computers are plugged into. Be sure to ask the airline you’re traveling on if power is available in your seat.

If your travels take you out of the country your Inogen One comes with an auto-sensing power supply. It can be plugged into any countries power right out of the box!

The Inogen One operates as a “pulse-dose delivery system”. This means that it delivers oxygen on demand (when the person breathes in).  It can accommodate prescriptions from one to 5 liters of oxygen per minute (LPM).  It contains a lithium-ion battery, and has a car charger, which comes in handy on road trips.  It is also very quiet and weighs just less than ten pounds.

At Diamond, we strive to bring you the latest innovations to restore your independence. We believe the Inogen One is a device that can restore independence for many people. The Inogen One is a remarkable device and will work great for most people. However, some oxygen users have difficulty tolerating pulse dosed systems and require a continuous flow of oxygen. We do have other options for these patients.

If you would like to discover how you can benefit from the Inogen One, we invite you to contact our expert staff today. We will work with you and your physician to find the solution that is right for you. What are you waiting for, reclaim your independence!
