  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ม.ค. 2021
  • Inogen and Caire are two of the most trusted names in the business. The Inogen one G5 and the Caire Freestyle Comfort are two of the best selling portable oxygen concentrators on the market today.
    The G5 is the newest evolution of the Inogen One G3, while the Freestyle Comfort is the updated version of the Caire Freestyle.
    Both companies are known for their high quality products. Both of these concentrators have similar capabilities but there are a few key differences as well.
    In this video we will discuss the similarities and differences so that you can decide which is best for your medical needs and lifestyle expectations.
    Both the Inogen One G5 and The Caire Freestyle Comfort are 24 hour oxygen solutions. Both are equipped with intelligent delivery, also known as sleep mode. As you drift off to sleep your breathing becomes slower and a bit shallower. With advanced intelligent delivery the machine will adjust dosing to keep you properly titrated throughout the night.
    Both machines are extremely portable. They're both lightweight and small. Each comes with a custom carrying case that allows you to access batteries and charging ports without removal.
    The G5 offers pulse settings from 1-6 while the Caire Comfort has setting from 1-6. Both should be more than adequate for a patient on pulse settings.
    Both machines come with excellent manufacturer warranties but one key difference is that the Caire Freestyle Comfort's warranty includes the sieve beds. Sieve beds should be changed every 12-28 months depending on usage. Your machine will give you a warning when it's time to change them. This warranty could save the user several hundred dollars in sieve replacement costs.

    I've been borrowing my father-in-law's new Caire unit and found a used Inogen One G3 for sale and bought it, so I've had experience with both units. The Inogen is by far a better unit. The Inogen gives a more intuitive interface that leaves no doubt it is detecting your breath, as it has an LED indicator just for that function. The Inogen unit is keeping my blood oxygen level higher at the same setting of '3' than Caire. The Inogen unit displays exactly how much time is remaining on the current battery, while the Caire unit only displays a percentage and a huge battery bars on the display. I don't know if this is merely psychological, but the Inogen unit seems to give less resistance to inhaling. As for the constant service plug to sell the Caire unit, I'm sure the sieves don't wear out any faster on the Inogen and the price for new ones makes it very economical and easy to replace them yourself.

      This report is alot of BS!!
      I have the Claire and it too, indicates when you take a breathe, and it's just as easy to use as the Inogen. Imogen filters last 1...one...year!
      Claire Freestyle Comfort filters last 3 years...three!!! Big difference! Imogen don't tell you your blood oxygen levels! None of them do. They just tell you the battery life because you don't want to run out of battery while your out. And it let's you know you when to change out the batteries. Because Claire model comes with 2 8 cell batteries. My friend has a enogen and it only came with 1 battery! So, you actually get more for your money with Claire freestyle comfort!

    I have used my Inogen One G5 since April 2022 when I travel abroad. So far, I don't have to use it on land except when I get to a higher elevation somewhere >3K above sea level. I bring my pulse oximeter with me at all times so when I feel diizzy or whoozy, I check my saturation. I use my POC on the plane about 10-15 minutes as soon as we lift off or when we get to 10,000 feet above ground. My saturation goes down

    So how long does the freestyle unit last, I've heard that the Inogen is only good for around 5 years and doesn't seem right to me. My friend got one recently and the manuel says that they are only good for 5 years of service and was thinking thats how long the battery should last lol. The machine itself should be good for at least 10 or more if well maintained and doesn't sound right to me. Maybe the manufacturer is trying to get people to purchase new ones after 5 years, and then they resell them to medical supply companies as refurbished lol. Does anyone know what the details are on them, something doesn't sound right to me

    You should mention when service is required on the Carie you have to ship it and the Imogene you can order the filters whenever and have them sent in regular mail. That alone is munch simpler and inexpensive compared to shipping the hole unit and if you get a loner the cost goes up.

      @1stclassmedicalinc.653  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you can run them at night plugged in. If you leave the battery in, it should run the machine as well as charge the battery. The machine has intelligent delivery, or sleep mode so you should be fine to run it at night unless you have a CPAP or BiPAP

    I bought the InogenOneG5 an had only problems with it. The unit gave me an error low oxygen reading with a very annoying beep tone every 25 seconds. It was replaced five times, all units failed with the same problem, they never exceeded 80 hours run time.. My suplier got me a Oxygo Next, also made by Inogen. I failed the same way at 60 hours. I will try now the Caire Freestyle hoping that they work better, not like the the Inogen units.

    You didn't mention that the annoying alarm is able to lower the sound or turn it off on the Inogen 5 but not the Care AKA Arya.If you like to go out to dinner or to a theater or movie theater the Caire is impossible.

    • @johnbangs464
      @johnbangs464 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You are talking about a totally different oxygen concentrator. We are talking about the Claire freestyle comfort and enogen 5. And as far as sending in unit to have the filters replaced... most companies send you one out before you mail yours back in! So it's no problem, the one they send you is rebuilt to new standards! Just like the " new enogen " they sent you! Also... in 3 years you'll probably want to upgrade or just try out something else! So pay the big bucks for enogen, then 300 bucks more that the total cost of 1 Claire freestyle! My opinion, is The Claire is more.for.your money deal!

    I had six Inogen One G5 units, all of them broke down in the first 20 to 60 hours of usage due to low oxygen output. They are not reliable. You pay for the name not for Quality. They always replaced them , no question asked, that tells me they know about the low oxygen failures, but they don’t seem to correct the problem. I am shopping now for a reliable unit and it is not Inogen till they can proof they can build a unit lasting longer then a year. 60 hours of usage is a joke for over $3000.00!

      Sorry we can't ship to India. If you know someone in the states willing to receive the unit and ship it to you have them call 800-520-5726. We still need to see your prescription but your doctor can email or fax it to us.
