FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Inogen Voxi™ 5 used for?

The Inogen® Voxi™ 5 is a stationary oxygen concentrator designed to provide continuous-flow oxygen therapy for individuals with COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic respiratory disease, and other conditions requiring physician-prescribed supplemental oxygen. It continuously concentrates oxygen from room air, eliminating the need for oxygen tanks.

2. Is the Inogen Voxi™ 5 portable?

The Voxi™ 5 is considered a stationary home oxygen concentrator. While it has caster wheels that make it easy to move from room to room, it operates using household AC power and is not intended for battery-powered travel or outdoor use.

3. Does the Inogen Voxi™ 5 provide continuous flow or pulse dose oxygen?

The Inogen Voxi™ 5 delivers continuous-flow oxygen only with adjustable flow settings from 0.5 to 5 liters per minute (LPM). It does not operate in pulse-dose mode.

4. How quite is the Inogen Voxi™ 5?

The Voxi™ 5 is designed for quiet home use and operates at approximately 45 dBA at Flow Setting 2, making it suitable for use while sleeping, watching television, or having conversations.

5. How often should the filter be cleaned or replaced?

The reusable intake filter should be checked weekly and cleaned whenever dust or debris begins to accumulate. The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter if it becomes damaged, excessively dirty, or no longer cleans effectively. Homes with pets, smokers, or higher dust levels may require more frequent cleaning or replacement.

6. Does the Inogen Voxi™ 5 require oxygen tanks?

No. The Voxi™ 5 continuously draws in room air, removes nitrogen, and delivers concentrated oxygen on demand. Since it generates oxygen continuously, there are no oxygen cylinders or tank refills required.

7. Can I use the Inogen Voxi™ 5 while sleeping?

Yes. The Inogen Voxi™ 5 is designed for 24-hour home oxygen therapy, including overnight use, when prescribed by your healthcare provider. Its quiet operation makes it suitable for bedrooms.

8. How much electricity does the Inogen Voxi™ 5 use?

The Voxi™ 5 is designed to be energy efficient compared to many traditional stationary oxygen concentrators, helping reduce electricity consumption while providing reliable continuous oxygen therapy. Actual power usage varies depending on the prescribed flow setting.

9. Can I use longer oxygen tubing with the Inogen Voxi™ 5?

Yes. Your healthcare provider can recommend the appropriate tubing length based on your oxygen prescription and home setup. Using tubing that is longer than recommended may affect oxygen delivery, so always follow your provider’s instructions and the manufacturer’s guidelines.

10. What maintenance does the Inogen Voxi™ 5 require?

Routine maintenance is simple and includes:

• Cleaning the reusable intake filter regularly.
• Replacing the filter when it becomes worn or damaged.
• Keeping the air intake free of dust and obstructions.
• Wiping the exterior with a soft damp cloth.
• Ensuring adequate airflow around the concentrator during operation.

Proper maintenance helps support reliable oxygen delivery and may extend the life of the concentrator.
