A TECHNOLOGY PIONEER BORN OUT OF LOVE.

Our story began when Mae, the beloved grandmother of one of our founders, was diagnosed with COPD. Over time, she became reliant on bulky oxygen bottles 24 hours a day, making her feel trapped at home. She knew there had to be a better way, and asked her granddaughter why there wasn’t a system able to safely deliver oxygen in a portable size. That single question drove us to innovate the entire industry. It inspired us to create a single oxygen concentrator that could be used at home, away, and for travel, the Inogen One.

When Mae tested the Inogen One prototype in 2004, she replied, “This is better than anything I could have ever dreamed of.” Since then, Inogen has gone on to become the global leader in portable oxygen therapy, improving the lives of nearly 1 million patients worldwide.

WHISPER QUIET OXYGEN THERAPY TO HELP YOU REST EASY.

Patients who suffer from chronic respiratory distress often require a continuous flow of oxygen, especially while they sleep at night. Our Inogen At Home system combines powerful, secure 5-liter per minute oxygen delivery with technology that not only removes noise but greatly reduces size and power consumption.At just 18 pounds — half the weight of some other oxygen concentrators in use today —Inogen At Home is a compact unit you can easily and safely keep at your bedside. In fact, it’s so light you can even use it during the day as a companion around the house. All with incredible energy efﬁciency to help you save more over time.

SAVE $300 OR MORE ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL EACH YEAR.*

Thanks to its proprietary energy technology, Inogen At Home consumes less electricity than most older, standard home oxygen concentrators. Because it’s designed for 24/7 use, the reduced power consumption can signiﬁcantly add up.

* Calculations are based on published US average hourly kilowatt rates and assume stationary oxygen concentrator usage of 20 hours per day. A flow setting of 2 liters per minute was used as the Inogen At Home power draw, with the published specifications of a common competitive stationary concentrator used as the standard market concentrator power draw.** See the Inogen At Home Limited Warranty Statement for full warranty information.

It’s given me a great deal of freedom. With Inogen, my quality of life has increased a thousand-fold. —Claudia H.

Powerful oxygen therapy in a compact size.

A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN FEEL FROM THE FIRST BREATH.

Designed especially for patients with COPD, the Inogen TAV (Tidal Assist Ventilator) is a respiratory therapy breakthrough that uses leading-edge innovation to provide assisted, non-invasive ventilation in a portable, lightweight unit.While traditional ventilators house their components in a bulky machine, the Inogen TAV places its patented ventilation technology in the nasal interface. Two small discs, surrounded by comfortable form-fitting pillows, provide a steady flow of oxygen at higher flow and pressure — up to five times the volume per breath compared to oxygen alone.

EASY TO USE AND ALWAYS KEEPS YOU IN CONTROL.

While the Inogen TAV is truly innovative, it’s also simple to use. The nasal pillows connect to a pocket-sized controller with tactile buttons to set the desired mode and amount of oxygen ﬂow. Here are just some of the many advantages.

Powerful.Three mode settings deliver higher ﬂow and pressure compared to traditional oxygen therapy, including an extra oxygen boost when needed.

Comfortable.Our ergonomically designed nasal pillows offer an easy ﬁt and exceptional comfort, plus greater durability and low-cost replacement.

Compatible.The Inogen TAV easily connects to all Nidek and other recommended concentrators, oxygen cylinders and wall oxygen sources.

Affordable.Designed to combine high performance with low cost, the Inogen TAV costs less than older, larger assisted ventilation systems for home use.

Real comments from patients who regained their freedom with the Inogen TAV:

“This is different. Very different.”“My coughing fits have stopped.”“I can walk upstairs and not get winded.”“I can now exercise.”“I’m not gasping for air with the TAV.”

ENJOY GREATER STAMINA AND ENERGY. EVERY DAY.

The Inogen TAV is the result of years of clinical research and development. That includes a breakthrough clinical study at the prestigious John Muir Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center, involving a range of patients experiencing chronic lung disease. The ﬁndings speak for themselves.

GO BEYOND WHAT OXYGEN THERAPY ALONE CAN DO.

These are just some of the comments our clinical study participants shared after comparing the Inogen TAV to the oxygen-only therapy they were previously given. Their words say everything about the difference you’ll feel.

Patient responses during the Inogen TAV Clinical Study at the John Muir Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center:

“This just makes the movement and energy so much better.”“It gives me a lot more power than I’ve felt in a long time.”“I feel like I’ve been rested for a long time with this amount of airflow coming in.”

The Inogen TAV system is U.S. 510(k) cleared for adult hospital and home care use.Inogen TAV plus oxygen therapy was compared to oxygen therapy alone in a randomized, controlled crossover study of patients with GOLD 2-4 COPD or interstitial lung disease. The study was performed at John Muir Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center in Concord, CA, and presented at the American College of Chest Physicians’ 2015 CHEST Conference.
