THE FOLLOWING BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS MUST BE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES:
• Do not drop, hit, crush, or otherwise abuse the battery as this may result in the exposure of the cell contents, which are corrosive.
• Do not subject battery to mechanical shock.
• In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts
of water and seek medical advice.
• Do not expose the battery to fire or extreme heat. Do not incinerate. Exposure of the battery to extreme heat may result in an explosion. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• Do not expose the battery to water, rain or moisture of any type.
• Do not expose to water, fire or excessive heat.
• Do not crush, disassemble, puncture or short circuit the connector terminals.
• Do not open, disassemble, or attempt to repair the battery; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not short-circuit battery.
• Do not store batteries haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Keep batteries clean and dry.
• Use only the battery in the application for which it was intended.
• Periodically inspect connection cords, connector tips and the power supply for damage or signs of wear. Discontinue use if damaged.
• Charge the battery before initial use.
• Recommended maximum time between charges = 1 year
• Recommendation: Store the battery below 25°C (77°F), low humidity, no dust and no corrosive gas atmosphere. Store fully charged if possible.
• This device contains electrical and/or electronic equipment. Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal of device components.
• The battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.
INTRODUCTION
This instruction guide will acquaint you with the Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 portable oxygen
concentrator. Make sure that you read and understand this guide before operating your
unit. Important safeguards are indicated throughout this guide; pay special attention to all
safety information. Contact your Drive DeVilbiss equipment provider should you have
any questions.
INTENDED USE
The portable oxygen concentrator system is indicated for the administration of
supplemental oxygen. The device is not intended for life support, nor does it provide any
patient monitoring capabilities.
INTENDED PATIENT POPULATION
This device is not intended for newborn and infant use. The device is intended for Adult
and Pediatric patients with a bodyweight >10 kg.
INDICATIONS FOR USE / MEDICAL INDICATION
The Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) will be used on a
prescriptive basis by patients requiring supplemental oxygen. It supplies a high
concentration of oxygen and is used with a nasal cannula to channel oxygen from the
concentrator to the patient. The POC may be used in home, institution, vehicle and
various mobile environments, indoors and outdoors. It is intended for the administration
of supplemental oxygen to oxygen patients as indicated by a physician for use in a
patient's residence, hospital, clinic or other facility.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The device is not intended to be life support or life sustaining, nor does it provide any
patient monitoring capabilities.
• Only use this product if the patient is capable of spontaneous breath (able to inhale
and exhale without the use of a machine).
• Some respiratory efforts of the patient might not trigger the conserving equipment. Do
not use on patients whose breathing during normal resting is unable to trigger the
device.
• This device is not intended to be used with other medical devices. Do not use in
parallel with other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
• The device is not intended for use with a tracheotomised patient.
ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE
Essential Performance of the Oxygen Concentrator is to deliver oxygen enriched gas to
the patient. Alarms indicate that the device is not meeting specification or a failure has
been detected.
WHY YOUR PHYSICIAN PRESCRIBED SUPPLEMENTAL
OXYGEN
Your body requires a steady supply of oxygen to function properly. Your physician
prescribed supplemental oxygen for you because you are not getting enough oxygen
from room air alone. Supplemental oxygen will increase the amount of oxygen that your
body receives. Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your physician prescribed a
specific oxygen flow to improve symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion,
EN - 6
fatigue, or increased irritability. If these symptoms persist after you begin your
supplemental oxygen program, consult your physician.
The oxygen delivery setting has to be determined for each patient individually with the
configuration of the equipment to be used, including accessories. Your delivery settings
of the oxygen concentrator should be periodically reassessed for the effectiveness of
therapy.
The proper placement and positioning of the prongs of the nasal cannula in the nose is
critical to the amount of oxygen delivered to the respiratory system of the patient.
HOW YOUR DRIVE DEVILBISS IGO2 PORTABLE OXYGEN
CONCENTRATOR WORKS
A concentrator separates oxygen from room air which allows high-purity supplemental
oxygen to be delivered to you through the oxygen outlet. Although the concentrator filters
the oxygen, it does not affect the normal amount of oxygen in your room. This pulse
concentrator delivers the full dose (bolus) of oxygen on each breath, right at the start of
inhalation.
If the unit is on and no breathing is detected, the device will go into AutoBreath™ mode
and dispense oxygen at regular intervals until breathing is detected again or battery is
depleted.
During AutoBreath mode, the unit dispenses a
bolus of oxygen at a rate of 12 BPM. The
oxygen bolus volume is dependent on the
setting and is indicated in the AutoBreath
Mode Oxygen Bolus Dispense Table.
AutoBreath mode is a backup solution to
ensure some oxygen is delivered to the patient
in the event that the device is unable to detect
patient breathing.
HOW SMARTDOSE TECHNOLOGY WORKS
®
When enabled, patented SmartDose technology automatically adjusts the oxygen dose
in response to changes in your breathing pattern. It delivers more oxygen when needed
to help you stay active and saturated, thus giving you the freedom and confidence to live
a more active life.
When you are active, a higher oxygen dose helps reduce feelings of breathlessness and
keep you active. After you set the flow rate to your prescribed dose, there is no need to
manually change the oxygen flow rate during the day— SmartDose technology does it
for you.
