I have been using the Inogen 6 for the last 2 yrs . It works good if your PF is not too advanced and oxygen needs are low. My PF has advanced quite a bit in the last yr so I get very sob with any exertion even with its setting on 5-6 ltrs. I use it for short outings and low activity . My Medicare insurance pays for 80%of the rental fee for both, the home and the pc.

I’m glad it works for your husband.

My sister and I were diagnosed with familial IPF 13 yrs ago . She uses the oxymizer at home with her concentrator at 4-5L and it works good for her too. She claims that with the oxymizer she can do more and not get so short of breath.

Im still trying to adjust to it. 😀

Thank you for your feedback,I totally agree with your assessment.

The oxymizer is designed to replace your standard cannula and is to be used with continuous flow oxygen systems. The cannula has thick nasal prongs and a pendant that is connected to the oxygen tubing , the pendant sits on your chest. It helps conserve oxygen by means of a reservoir . Ask your pulmonologist about it.
