What are the benefits of oxygen therapy?
Numerous studies have shown that COPD patients who use supplemental oxygen live longer and have more active lives than individuals not receiving oxygen. Oxygen therapy is based on the premise that all human cells require sufficient levels of oxygen to function properly. Exercise is often easier for individuals receiving supplemental oxygen because more oxygen is getting to the muscles. Receiving oxygen also helps to reverse the long-term effects of oxygen deficiency on the heart. Oxygen therapy has also been known reduce sleep disruption while also improving concentration and memory levels.
What methods are used to supply home oxygen?
There are 3 types of systems available for the supply of oxygen: Compressed Gas - this is oxygen stored under pressure in a cylinder equipped with a regulator that controls the flow rate. Liquid Oxygen - is oxygen stored as extremely cold liquid in a vessel very much like a thermos. The liquid converts to gas upon release and you breathe it in the same as compressed gas. The third type of home oxygen system is the Oxygen Concentrator. An oxygen concentrator is an electrically powered device that separates oxygen from the room air, concentrates and delivers it at your prescribed rate. This system is less expensive than liquid oxygen and eliminates the need for re-supply of oxygen cylinders.
Do I need a doctor’s prescription to receive oxygen therapy?
Oxygen concentrators are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a prescription from a physician must be issued to receive oxygen therapy. Your physician will order a blood test to determine what your oxygen level is. The prescription will indicate the flow rate of how much oxygen you need per minute (liters per minute or LPM) and when you need to use oxygen. Many websites will allow you to fax your physician’s prescription for oxygen therapy.
Can I use a portable oxygen concentrator in my car?
Yes, there are newly designed portable oxygen concentrators on the market like the SeQual Eclipse or Inogen One that are perfect for automobile travel. You can use rechargeable batteries or simply plug the unit into the car’s accessory outlet (lighter). The Eclipse or Inogen portable oxygen concentrators can be placed out of the way, behind the front seat, allowing you to travel freely.
Can I take a portable oxygen concentrator on an airplane?
Yes, theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved a select group of portable oxygen concentrators for air travel, including the Inogen One and the SeQual Eclipse. Be certain to check with your air carrier first because not all airlines allow portable oxygen concentrators onboard. Check with your airlines website to see if they allow these units and what their requirements are. Most air carriers have a form that must be filled out prior to departure and must include your physician’s prescription.
Important Information Regarding Security Screening of POCs
Recently heightened security measures have prompted questions surrounding the use of Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs) onboard commercial flights. According to the Department of Homeland Security, POCs have been and are still allowed through security checkpoints once they have been screened. All disability-related equipment, aids, and devices continue to be allowed through security checkpoints once cleared through screening.
Other disability and medically related items permitted beyond the checkpoint include: wheelchairs; scooters; crutches; canes; walkers; prosthetic devices; casts; support braces; support appliances; service animals; any and all diabetes related medication, equipment, and supplies; orthopedic shoes; exterior medical devices; assistive/adaptive equipment; augmentation devices; ostomy supplies; medications and associated supplies; hearing aids; cochlear implants; tools for wheelchair disassembly/reassembly; personal supplemental oxygen; CPAP machines; respirators; baby apnea monitors; Braille note takers; slate and stylus; tools for prosthetic devices; and any other disability-related equipment and associated supplies.
TSA’s Check point Security Screening Procedures for persons with disabilities, medical conditions, and the mature have NOT changed as a result of the increased security measures.
People with disabilities, those with prosthetic devices, and those with medical conditions are not required to remove their shoes during this heightened security level nor has this been the case during routine travel times. Those who keep their shoes on will be subjected to additional screening that includes a visual/physical and explosive trace detection sampling of their footwear.
Travelers with disabilities, medical conditions, and the mature may want to consider the following:
Arrive at the airport well in advance, 2-3 hours prior to flight
Follow all published rules on carry-on items and medications
Bring documentationon medications, devices, medical condition where possible. This is not a requirement and will not exempt a passenger from the screening process.
Pack medicationsin a clear bag separate from other carry-on items/bags
Ensure medicallyprescribed medication bottles (name on bottle) match your ticket
Exercise patiencewith the lines, delays, and stringent screening procedures

Check with your airline to make sure they will permit the use of your Inogen One. Some airlines may not permit the use of portable oxygen concentrators like the Inogen One onboard their aircraft.
Arrange for a backup source of oxygen for use at your final destination. Your home healthcare provider will be able to help you coordinate your backup oxygen supply.
Planning Your Flight
You must obtain a signed statement from your physician that includes:
Your ability to see/hear alarms and respond appropriately
When oxygen use is necessary (all or a portion of the trip)
Maximum flow rate corresponding to the pressure in the cabin under normal operating conditions
Before Your Flight
- Here are some things to keep in mind the day your flight departs:
- Ensure your Inogen One is clean, in good condition and free from damage or other signs of excessive wear or abuse.
- Bring enough fully charged batteries with you to power your Inogen One for the duration of the flight plus a conservative estimate of unanticipated delays. Contact your equipment provider to obtain additional Inogen One Batteries.
- CAUTION: Airlines may not be equipped to provide backup oxygen.
Regional/Commuter airlines do not offer onboard electrical power. If your travel plans call for flights on regional airlines, you will need sufficient battery power for the duration of the flight, plus a conservative estimate of unanticipated delays.
Arrive at the airport early. Airport security screening personnel may require extra time to inspect your Inogen One.
While waiting to board your flight, you may be able to conserve battery power by using the AC Power Supply to power your Inogen One from an electrical outlet in the airport terminal.
You must inform the airline you will be using your Inogen One. Have your physician letter with you and ready for inspection if requested.
During Your Flight
- When you find your seat, locate the power port, if available. If your seat does not have a power port or if you have difficulty plugging in your Mobile Power Charger, ask a flight attendant for assistance.
- You must remove the battery from the concentrator when operating the Inogen One using an aircraft power port.
- During taxi, takeoff and landing, stow your Inogen One under the seat in front of you. Your Inogen One will fit upright under most airline seats. However, if it doesn't fit you may turn it on its side.
- It is not necessary to turn off your Inogen One during taxi, takeoff and landing if your physician's written statement requires you receive oxygen during these periods.
- When you are traveling with the Inogen One and are not planning on using it during the flight, remove the battery from the concentrator.
After Your Flight
- Remember to recharge additional batteries you may have used prior to your next flight.
- Arrange for the delivery or pick up of your backup oxygen supply.
