How To Maintain Inogen One G5?
The G5 portable oxygen concentrator must be maintained regularly in order to receive effective and efficient therapy. Unique to this device is a pair of columns (sieve beds) that require replacement every 12-18 months. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the user manual to properly replace these components.
The air intake filter, located on the side of the unit, should be removed and washed with warm water and mild detergent weekly. Replace as needed. Nasal cannulas and tubing should also be replaced on a regular basis. Be sure not to use any damaged or dirty tubing, as that will reduce the effectiveness of your oxygen therapy.
