3.1.6. Product Filter
This filter is intended to protect the user from small particles in the product gas flow.
The Inogen One G3 includes a product filter, conveniently located behind the
removable cannula nozzle fitting. Inogen suggests that this filter be replaced between
patients.
To replace the Product Filter:
1. Use the Cannula Barb Tool (available from Inogen as RP-102) to access the
product filter. The tool has two prongs which mate with two indentations
located on the surface of the metal cannula barb fitting on the Inogen One
G2.
2. Carefully remove the cannula fitting by unscrewing it in the counter-
clockwise direction.
3. The filter, a hard plastic disk with a silicone gasket on its outer edge, will be
visible in the recess once the hose barb is removed.
4. Remove the filter, and inspect the recess to make sure it is free of debris.
5. Install a new replacement filter.
6. Carefully screw the cannula barb fitting back into the recess (clockwise) until
it bottoms out on the filter gasket. Take care to squarely screw the nozzle
fitting into the threads, and not to over tighten.
WARNING
Failure to inspect and replace the product filter may result in the filter
becoming clogged or obstructed over time, and in reduced delivery of
3.1.7. Oxygen Purity Check
The oxygen concentration can be checked using the Salter Labs PrO2 Check
ultrasonic oxygen analyzer. The concentrator should be run for 10 minutes before
measuring the oxygen concentration. If the concentrator has not been used for more
than 2 weeks, the concentrator should be run for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow for
adjustments to the operating parameters prior to measuring the oxygen concentration.
