CAUTIONS
•
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
•
Do not use in an area where the air may be contaminated with carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons as this may shorten the life of the unit
(i.e. near running gasoline engines, furnace, or heater).
•
Use only the iGo AC Adapter and DC Adapter supplied with your iGo. Use of another power supply will void the warranty. Do not use
parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by DeVilbiss.
•
Locate oxygen tubing and power supply cords to prevent tripping hazards.
•
Do not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode.
•
DO NOT expose unit to temperature outside of specified operating or storage temperatures as this may damage the unit. DO NOT
expose the Rechargeable Battery to temperatures above 140°F (60°C) such as in a vehicle parked in the sun or on a hot day.
•
If the External Power light flashes and the audible alert sounds but the unit is not operating, there is no power to the unit. Refer to
Troubleshooting and contact your DeVilbiss provider if necessary.
•
Do not place this device near other equipment or devices that create or attract electromagnetic fields. Placing the unit in electromagnetic
fields greater than 10 V/m can affect its operation. Examples of such equipment are defibrillators, diathermy equipment, cellular
telephones, CB radios, radio-controlled toys, microwave ovens, etc.

1. Use only continuous flow mode of operation with patients who breathe below 6 Breaths Per Minute (BPM); refer to specifications for
maximum breath rate.
2. Use only continuous flow mode of operation with patients who consistently fail to trigger equipment (i.e. mouth breathing with closed soft
palates).
3. PulseDose settings should be determined for each patient individually. Settings from continuous flow applications may not be applicable to
PulseDose mode.
4. Verify patient is getting adequate Pa02 or Sa02 levels in PulseDose delivery mode.
5. Use only standard nasal cannula with PulseDose delivery. Do not use pediatric (low-flow) nasal cannula with PulseDose delivery. Any nasal
cannula can be used with continuous flow delivery.
6. PulseDose settings should be determined for each patient individually. Settings from Continuous Flow applications may not be applicable to
PulseDose Mode.
7. Do not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode.

placement of the packing material for possible future return.
2. Record the number of hours on the hour meter underneath the unit.
3. Verify that the air filter is in place in the handle cavity.
4. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet, turn the unit ON, and check the audible and visible alerts.
5. Set the flow to 3 LPM in continuous flow mode and let the unit run for at least 20 minutes.
6. Use an oxygen analyzer to check the concentration.
NOTE
– If the unit fails to operate properly, oxygen concentration is not within specification, or external/internal damage is found, contact
DeVilbiss for instructions.
At.The.Patient.Home
Before leaving a DeVilbiss iGo Personal Oxygen Station with a user, please complete the following checklist:
1. Instruct the user on the safe operation of the portable oxygen system; review the Important Safeguards and observe all Warnings and Cautions
on the product and in the instruction guide.
