For oxygen therapy users who refuse to let breathing conditions limit their freedom, the Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 offers up to 5 hours of portable power—but it’s the SmartDose feature that auto-adjusts to your activity level that truly changes everything.
For individuals managing COPD, asthma, or other chronic lung conditions, balancing mobility with reliable oxygen therapy remains a daily challenge. The Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 portable oxygen concentrator is designed to address this need, offering smart technology and a compact build that prioritizes portability, battery efficiency, and long-term support.
The iGo2 functions as a pulse dose concentrator, delivering oxygen at the start of each inhalation instead of continuous flow. Weighing under 5 pounds with its standard battery, the device offers five pulse settings (1-5) and delivers up to 1,100 ml/min at 90% purity (+4%/-3%).
Compact at just 8.4" H x 3.5" W x 8.6" L, it's built for day-to-day mobility.
Its integrated Oxygen Sensing Device (OSD) monitors output in real time and triggers alerts if oxygen purity drops below target levels. Additional safety features include audible and visual alarms for low oxygen, battery depletion, overheating, system errors, and no breath detection.
Main Clinic Supply, a provider of medical-grade oxygen equipment, notes that these features are especially helpful for patients seeking greater independence in their daily routines.
The iGo2's breath detection system is notably responsive, activating even with shallow or weak inhalation. This ensures reliable delivery during rest, sleep, or periods of low activity, helping reduce anxiety around missed breaths or inconsistent flow.
The iGo2's standout feature is its SmartDose technology, which monitors your breathing and adjusts oxygen delivery in real time. During physical activity, the device increases output. When you're resting, it dials things down; no manual changes required. Prefer a consistent flow? SmartDose can be turned off, allowing for standard PulseDose delivery with steady output.
This portable oxygen concentrator performs reliably at altitudes up to 10,000 feet, covering most residential and travel destinations. This ensures consistent oxygen purity even in thinner air. Patients living at or visiting higher elevations should confirm that this range suits their location.
At just 37 decibels on setting 2, the iGo2 is one of the quietest portable oxygen concentrators available. That's about the volume of a soft library or a low hum — ideal for social situations, nighttime use, or any space where noise matters.
The iGo2 meets FAA guidelines for portable oxygen use in flight, but travelers should check with their airline for specific policies. Passengers must carry enough battery life for 150% of the flight duration. A "fit to fly" test, also known as a hypoxic challenge, can help determine proper settings for high-altitude cabin conditions.
Battery runtime depends on the pulse setting and assumes a standard breathing rate of 20 breaths per minute.
Knowing these estimates helps users plan daily activities, manage recharging, and determine when to carry spares.
The iGo2's rechargeable lithium-ion battery (SKU 125D-613) supports both internal and external charging. Plugging the concentrator into an AC wall outlet or DC car port with the battery installed allows it to charge while in use; a convenient option during rest periods or road trips.
For those with active routines or travel plans, an External Battery Charger (SKU 125CH-613) allows users to charge spare batteries separately from the device itself. A fully depleted battery recharges in about 5 hours with this method, making it easier to maintain continuous access by rotating batteries as needed.
Experts at Main Clinic Supply often recommend this setup to patients who prefer minimal downtime between outings.
The iGo2 typically comes with a standard over-the-shoulder carrying case that offers quick access to both the controls and battery compartment.
For users who prefer hands-free mobility, a specialized backpack provides a more ergonomic and discreet alternative. Designed with a snug fit and mesh ventilation panels, it supports safe device operation while on the move.
The padded, adjustable straps distribute weight evenly across the back, reducing strain during longer outings. Optional waist and chest straps add extra support for stability during travel or light activity. The backpack also features reinforced openings for the cannula and charging cords, along with a dedicated pocket for spare batteries or personal items.
Drive DeVilbiss offers a multi-tiered warranty for the iGo2, with coverage durations based on the part. The main concentrator unit is protected for 5 years from the original shipment date, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This extended coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the iGo2's long-term reliability.
These timelines help users plan for future maintenance and replacements.
Warranty claims cover parts and labor for eligible repairs, handled through Drive DeVilbiss or authorized service centers. Coverage excludes wear-and-tear components like air filters, which require routine maintenance and aren't considered manufacturer defects. Claims must be submitted by the original purchaser, with proper documentation, to ensure valid service under warranty.
The Drive DeVilbiss iGo2 blends adaptive oxygen delivery with real-world portability. From automatic SmartDose adjustments to travel-ready features and tiered warranty protection, it’s designed to support movement without compromising therapy.
Extended battery options, hands-free carry solutions, and FAA compliance make it a strong choice for users who want flexibility without added complexity.
