Oxygen Safety Tips
While oxygen itself is safe, it is flammable, and exposing the concentrator to an open flame or certain heat sources may cause danger. Use Caution.
- Avoid the following: matches, cigarettes, cigarette lighters, and candles.
- All body creams and lotions need to be water based instead of petroleum based.
- Always show caution when the device is near electronic or gas heaters, as well as ovens and stoves.
- As a best practice, the manufacturer suggests maintaining a 5 foot distance from any of the listed heat sources.
Car Safety Tips
Follow these guidelines If the concentrator is in the car:
- Only use the oxygen device when the vehicle is running.
- Start the car prior to turning on or charging the oxygen concentrator.
- Do not leave the the G3 unit in the vehicle.
- Do not use the concentrator while it is stored in the trunk of a car.

Battery Charging Tips
The Inogen One G3 portable concentrator uses a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged before it is fully depleted. If empty, it may take up to 4 hours to fully charge the battery.
The battery can be charged from both an AC power outlet or a DC cable. Also, the battery is designed to receive a charge when the G3 is being charged, as long as it is connected to the device.
Is the Battery Charge Visible?
The percent of charge remaining is visible on the display screen. As the charge begins to deplete, prepare to recharge the battery or switch out the empty battery for a new battery cell.
Cannula Tube Tips
How Does it Connect? First, remove the cannula cord from the plastic bag. Then, connect the base of the tube to the metal tap located at the top of the unit.
How Do I Position the Cannula Tube? Place the cannula on the face with the prongs directing upward. Push the prongs gently into the left and right nostril. Pull the sides of the tube over each ear to stabilize the fit against the face.
Flow Settings
The flow setting and delivery mode must be prescribed by the physician. If a different flow setting is needed, the device has triangular buttons marked with a + and - symbol, which can be used to increase or decrease the liters per minute.
Filter Replacement Tips
The two filters placed on the back of the concentrator are intended to work for the life of the device. However, if one or both of the filters become damaged at any time, they must be replaced. Find the replacements here.
