2. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as the aging population worldwide
needs homecare oxygen treatment. Older people develop COPD and other respiratory conditions
where oxygen is able to improve the quality of the life in a dramatic manner. Portable devices have
become affordable and support a mobile lifestyle even while on oxygen.
There has been a quantum improvement in the portable oxygen concentrator technology. Less
weight, more power are the characteristics of the new portable units that begin to rival the larger
home units. The huge jump in technology is illustrated by the effectiveness of the Inogen G3 and
the about to be released VBox Trooper. Innovation started with Inogen One G3 and AirSep's
LifeStyle are the less-than-10-pound battery-operated concentrator. AirSep has re-engineered the
unit down to a 2 pound device.
Newer portable oxygen concentrators can be used as multipurpose devices.9
Portable oxygen concentrator technology has been instantiated many times over, but in a most
compelling manner by Inogen as the Inogen oxygen concentrator which represents a technological
breakthrough. The Inogen One G3 is a complete departure from current mainstream technologies.
It represents a shift away from standard large, bulky, stationary concentrator systems and
inefficient, heavy, and impractical portable devices.
This transformation presents a new opportunity for people who make PSA oxygen equipment.
Economies of scale and a new distribution modality leveraging homecare services are set to change
the medical oxygen industry. Home delivery markets tend to be evaporating.
