CAUTION–DO NOT drop the Battery or expose it to mechanical shock.
CAUTION–Only use the Battery for its intended purpose.
NOTe–Operating time will degrade with Battery use and age.
NOTe– Store your Battery in a cool, dry location when not in use. This will help to assure the longevity of your Battery.
NOTe– Charging the Battery below 50°F (10°C) or above 104°F (40°C) may degrade the performance. The Battery will not charge above 45°C.
Initial battery operation
The new battery packaged with your iGo Portable Oxygen System is not fully charged. Before using your iGo for the first time, you must install and fully discharge then fully
charge the battery.
1. Using battery power only, operate the iGo until the battery is fully drained. The unit will turn off and the power failure alarm will sound.
2. Connect the AC Power Cord and plug in to completely charge the battery. This may require up to 4.5 hours of uninterrupted charging.
In the event of a power interruption, the iGo Portable Oxygen System will automatically switch to the battery operation if installed. When AC power is restored, the battery will
automatically start recharging. If the battery is not present during a power interruption, the Power Fail alert will activate and the iGo will stop operation. When power is
restored, unit will resume oxygen production unless the Power Button was pressed to stop the Power Fail Alert.
typical battery recharge time
The typical time to recharge your battery from a fully discharged condition is 2.0 hours to 4.5 hours dependent upon the flow setting. If the Battery is too warm, charging will
not begin until it sufficiently cools. Extreme temperature (high or low) may extend charge time.

WArnInG
Do not leave iGo running when not in use. Do not leave cannula unattended while unit is delivering oxygen. High concentrations of oxygen can cause rapid
burning. Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area.
1. Check to see if the air filter is in place before using. If the air filter needs to be cleaned, wash with soapy water and allow to dry before using. If necessary, replace with a
new air filter.
2. Plug unit into AC Power, DC Power, or make sure there is a charged Battery installed.
NOTe–Every time a button is pressed or when a change to the power source occurs, the iGo will give a short audible chirp.
3. Connect the tubing to the oxygen outlet and the cannula.
dAnGer
If tubing becomes disconnected during operation, iGo does not alert. Check flow at the cannula to verify oxygen delivery.
4. Attach a standard nasal cannula to the oxygen outlet and to your nose and face. Breathe normally through the cannula.
CAUTION–To ensure there is adequate flow to deliver oxygen, the length of the tubing must not exceed 50 feet (15.2m) when using Continuous Flow Mode, and must
not exceed 35 feet (10.5m) when operating in PulseDose Mode for adequate breath detection.
5. Press and hold the Power Button to turn your iGo On. When the unit is turned On, all the lights on the control panel will illuminate briefly and audible alert will briefly
activate.
a. When using External Power:
1) In PulseDose mode: After a few seconds, the External Power, Normal Oxygen, and Flow Rate lights will remain lit. The Flow Indicator Light will pulse with each
breath. If a battery is installed, the Battery Status Lights will either illuminate indicating battery charge level or cycle indicating battery is charging.
2) In Continuous Flow mode: After a few seconds, the External Power, Normal Oxygen, Flow Indicator, and Flow Rate lights will remain lit. If a battery is installed,
the Battery Status Lights will either illuminate indicating battery charge level or cycle indicating battery is charging.
b. When using Battery Power:
1) In PulseDose mode: After a few seconds, the Normal Oxygen and Flow Rate lights will remain lit. The Battery Status Gauge Lights will also be lit indicating
battery charge level. The Flow Indicator Light will pulse with each breath.
2) In Continuous Flow mode: After a few seconds, the Normal Oxygen, Flow Rate, and Flow Indicator lights will remain lit. The Battery Status Gauge Lights will
also be lit indicating battery charge level.
NOTe–The DeVilbiss iGo has an oxygen sensing device (OSD
®
) to monitor oxygen purity once the oxygen stabilization process is complete (after approximately the
first 20 minutes of operation). Once stabilized, the OSD monitors the oxygen purity and will alert if purity falls below an acceptable level.
6. To change your Delivery Mode, press the Mode Select button. The iGo will come on at the last mode and flow setting used.
a. Continuous Flow Operation - When operating in Continuous Flow Mode, a continuous supply of oxygen will flow through your tubing and nasal cannula.
b. PulseDose Operation - When operating in PulseDose mode, an alert will beep after 30 seconds if a breath is not detected. If another 60 seconds elapses and no
breath is detected, the unit will switch to Continuous Flow at the last Continuous Flow setting used.
NOTe-PulseDose dramatically extends the use time of the iGo Portable Oxygen System offering increased mobility with improved comfort and increased efficiency. Many
users find PulseDose oxygen delivery more comfortable than continuous flow delivery systems.
WArnInG
PulseDose Flow settings should be determined for each patient individually. Settings from Continuous Flow applications may not be applicable to PulseDose
mode.
As with conserving devices, the iGo may not be able to detect some respiratory efforts in Pulsedose mode.
CAUTION–Do not use with other equipment (i.e. humidifier, nebulizer, etc.) when in PulseDose delivery mode. The iGo will not detect a breath and will default to Continuous
Flow.
NOTe–A pediatric or low-flow cannula should not be used in PulseDose delivery mode. The reduced diameter of the cannula causes too much back pressure and will affect
the oxygen volume delivered.
NOTe–PulseDose delivers oxygen in a very short “puff.” It does not deliver oxygen continuously. The length of time that PulseDose delivers oxygen will not vary from breath to
breath. The time is set in correlation to the patient’s prescription setting.
