Patient FAQs | EverGo™

How does the EverGo™ portable concentrator work (produce oxygen)?
The Respironics EverGo portable concentrator separates oxygen from room air and delivers it through a single lumen cannula. Room air contains approximately 21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen. By passing the air through a series of molecular, bacterial and dust filters, EverGo removes nitrogen and stores nearly pure (therapeutic) oxygen.

Is the EverGo portable concentrator right for me?
Only you and your doctor can determine if EverGo is the right oxygen concentrator for you. If you are active and require a highly portable source of oxygen, EverGo is ideal.

What does the EverGo portable oxygen concentrator weigh?
9.9 lbs (4.5 kg) with 2 batteries and carrying case
8.5 lbs (3.8 kg) with 1 battery and carrying case

How long can EverGo operate on battery power?
Its two rechargeable batteries provide up to 8 hours of oxygen while operating at a typical patient setting of two (20 breaths per minute). See the chart below.

What is EverGo's oxygen producing capability?
EverGo can deliver a maximum of 1050 ml/min. That is more oxygen per minute than any other portable concentrator available.

What size is EverGo?
It is about the size of a camera bag or small carry-on bag.
12" L x 6" W x 8.5" H (30.5 cm L x 15.25 cm W x 21.6 cm H)

Can I use the EverGo while I sleep?
Your doctor can determine whether or not the EverGo portable concentrator is appropriate for you while you sleep. An overnight pulse oximetry test may be necessary to measure your oxygen saturation level while using EverGo at night.

Can I use the EverGo portable concentrator when I travel?
EverGo is ideal for people who enjoy traveling and rely upon oxygen therapy. EverGo operates from a wall outlet (AC power), an automobile charger (DC power), or its internal rechargeable batteries, two lithium ion batteries similar to the type used in laptop computers. The device has been cleared for air travel by the FAA. Because airline policies for traveling with an oxygen concentrator vary, you need to check with your airline before flying with EverGo.

Flying with Oxygen

Flying with supplemental oxygen equipment such as Respironics EverGo requires advance planning. You should check with your airline for their guidelines prior to your trip. For example, most airlines require patients to carry a prescription and a written statement from a physician allowing you to fly. Other guidelines may include:

• Confirming travel arrangements with the airline 48 hours in advance
• The ability to hear the portable oxygen concentrator alarms and see the alarm light indicators, to take the appropriate action in response to these warnings, or travel with a companion capable of doing so
• Notifying the airline upon check-in, and the flight attendant upon boarding, that you plan on using a portable oxygen concentrator onboard the airplane

Many airlines have special assistance coordinators to help you through the process.

Other Air Travel Tips

• Ask for an aisle seat near the restroom.
• Drink fluids but avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks; they will make you feel bloated.
• Be familiar with the latest airport security screening policies and plan for extra time for inspection of your EverGo.

How do I get an EverGo portable concentrator?
