Faulty Portable Inogen and Oxygofit concentrators
I have been on oxygen since June, 2017. My big concentrator has never been a problem. I use it most because I am home most of the time. The company that takes care of my oxygen needs is Lincare. When I ask for a portable such as the Inogen, even though it was approved (80 years old) it seemed like forever before I got it! I did call Medicare and talked to the most hateful woman ever! She told me that the only reason I wanted a portable was for ‘convenience’ and I could not differ with her on that. To make a long story short, I am waiting for my 4th machine (been 2 weeks now). I do have bottles to carry around with me! The ad says go here and go there without a worry, but I would not trust these machines at all! The last two I got were oxygofits and they are exactly like the inogen (my first one). Now one battery comes with it and on level 3 that lasts a little over an hour. I bought 2 large batteries ($500 each) so I would have enough to actually go someplace local! My opinion is your machine is defective but I will keep trying because it is convenient! I do have a larger tank on wheels for back-up!
