 portable oxygen systems are equipped with Intelligent Delivery Technology, a form of pulse-dose technology from which the patient receives a bolus of oxygen upon inhalation. Pulse-dose technology was developed to extend the number of hours an oxygen tank would last and is generally used on all ambulatory long-term oxygen therapy devices. Our proprietary conserver technology utilizes differentiated triggering sensitivity to quickly detect a breath and ensure oxygen delivery within the first 250 milliseconds of inspiration, the interval when oxygen has the most effect on lung gas exchange. During periods of sleep, respiratory rates typically decrease. Our systems actively respond to this changing physiology through the use of proprietary technology that increases bolus size. Our Intelligent Delivery Technology is designed to provide effective levels of blood oxygen saturation during sleep and all other periods of rest and activity. 

We have also launched Inogen Connect, a wireless connectivity platform for the Inogen One G4, Inogen One G5, Inogen Rove 4 and Inogen Rove 6 consisting of a front-end mobile application for use by long-term oxygen therapy users and a back-end database portal for use by homecare providers. The Inogen Connect application, or app, is compatible with Apple and Android platforms and includes patient features such as oxygen purity status, battery run time, product support functions, notification alerts, and remote software updates. We believe features of the back-end database portal such as remote troubleshooting, equipment health checks, and a location tracker will drive operational efficiencies for home oxygen providers and lower the total cost of servicing oxygen therapy patients.

We released our latest portable oxygen concentrator, Rove 4, in the U.S. and European Union in October 2024. The Inogen Rove 4 is among the lightest products on the market and has among the highest oxygen production capabilities. The performance parameters around our systems allow us to serve ambulatory long-term oxygen patients based on their clinical needs. Our products enable us to address a patient’s particular clinical needs, as well as lifestyle and performance preferences.

Stationary oxygen concentrator

We market our own 5-liter stationary oxygen concentrator, the Inogen At Home, capable of delivering continuous flow of oxygen for the patients who require it. The Inogen At Home is one of the smaller, quieter and lower weight devices in this category. We also supply lower cost third-party manufactured stationary concentrators to our rental patients who require secondary sources of oxygen as a part of their CMS contract or to meet other clinical or payor requirements.

Airway clearance 

We added Simeox, an air
