Inogen Rove 4 Portable Oxygen Concentrator

The Inogen Rove 4 Portable Oxygen Concentrator combines an ultra-lightweight 2.9 lb. design with four pulse-dose settings for users who need prescribed supplemental oxygen in a compact, highly portable system.

Designed as Inogen's lightweight four-setting portable oxygen concentrator, the Rove 4 uses Intelligent Delivery Technology® to detect inhalation and deliver pulse-dose oxygen according to the selected setting and breathing pattern.

Three compatible battery options—standard, intermediate, and extended—allow users to balance overall carrying weight with desired battery runtime. The Rove 4 also supports AC and DC power, Inogen Connect Bluetooth connectivity, quiet operation, and portable use at home and while traveling.

Who Is the Inogen Rove 4 For?

The Rove 4 is designed for individuals who have been prescribed pulse-dose oxygen therapy at a setting supported by the device.

It may be worth considering when:

• Pulse-dose oxygen has been prescribed

• Low carrying weight is a priority

• Four pulse settings provide the range required by the prescription

• A portable concentrator under 3 lbs. with its standard battery is desired

• Different battery sizes would be useful for balancing weight and runtime

• Quiet operation is important

• AC and vehicle DC power options are useful

• Air travel is part of the user's mobility needs

• Bluetooth connectivity with the Inogen Connect app is desired

The Rove 4 does not provide continuous-flow oxygen.

The appropriate oxygen setting must be determined by the patient's healthcare provider. Pulse settings 1–4 are not equivalent to 1–4 liters per minute of continuous flow.

Specifications

Ultra-Lightweight at 2.9 lbs.

One of the Rove 4's biggest advantages is its weight.

With the BA-400 standard battery installed, the complete system weighs approximately 2.9 lbs. and measures only:

• 5.9" wide

• 2.7" deep

• 7.5" high

Users who want additional battery capacity can move to the intermediate or extended battery while keeping the complete system relatively lightweight.

System weight increases to approximately 3.1 lbs. with the intermediate battery and 3.4 lbs. with the extended battery.

Four Pulse-Dose Settings

The Rove 4 provides four pulse-dose settings from 1 through 4 using Inogen's Intelligent Delivery Technology®.

The concentrator detects the beginning of inhalation and delivers a measured pulse of oxygen.

Maximum oxygen production increases with the selected setting:

Important: These are pulse-dose settings and oxygen-output specifications. Setting 2, for example, should not be interpreted as 2 LPM of continuous-flow oxygen.

The Rove 4 does not provide continuous flow.

Three Battery Options

The Rove 4 supports three rechargeable lithium-ion battery configurations, giving users more flexibility in balancing weight, physical size, and operating time.

The standard battery keeps the Rove 4 as light and compact as possible.

The intermediate battery provides additional capacity with only a modest increase in weight, while the extended battery provides the greatest available runtime.

Actual battery duration depends on the selected oxygen setting, breathing pattern, battery condition and age, environmental conditions, and device use.

Understanding Rove 4 Battery Runtime

Battery life should always be evaluated according to the prescribed pulse setting, rather than only the manufacturer's maximum advertised runtime.

Higher pulse settings require more energy and generally reduce the amount of operating time available from a single battery charge.

Battery capacity also naturally decreases over time. Inogen specifies its rechargeable batteries as designed for approximately 500 charge/discharge cycles.

Customers planning extended time away from AC or DC power should consider the prescribed setting, expected time away, battery configuration, spare batteries, and any prescribed backup oxygen requirements.

Quiet Operation

The Rove 4 operates at approximately 39 dBA at Setting 2.

Its combination of low operating noise, compact dimensions, and a system weight starting at 2.9 lbs. makes it particularly well suited for users who prioritize a discreet, lightweight portable oxygen system.

AC, DC & Battery Power

The Rove 4 can operate from:

• Rechargeable battery power

• Compatible AC household power

• Compatible DC vehicle power

The AC power supply accepts 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz with auto-sensing capability.

Compatible DC power provides another option for operating the concentrator while traveling by vehicle.

The Rove 4 can also recharge an installed battery when connected to an appropriate external AC or DC power source, subject to the conditions described in the manufacturer instructions.

Inogen Connect App

The Rove 4 is compatible with the Inogen Connect Bluetooth mobile app.

On compatible mobile devices, Inogen Connect provides access to supported concentrator information, device updates, notifications, and other available functions.

App availability and functionality can vary by mobile device and software version.

Designed for Extended & 24/7 Use

Inogen identifies its portable oxygen technology as suitable for use during everyday activities and sleep in appropriately selected patients, and identifies the Rove 4 platform for around-the-clock use with access to appropriate power.

This does not mean a single rechargeable battery will operate the concentrator for 24 hours.

Extended use requires appropriate planning for AC/DC power, battery charging, spare batteries, and any backup oxygen arrangements prescribed by the patient's healthcare provider.

Operating Environment

The Rove 4 is specified for operation within the following range:

• Temperature: 41°F–104°F (5°C–40°C)

• Humidity: 15%–90%, non-condensing

• Altitude: Sea level to 10,000 ft. (3,048 m)

Operation outside the manufacturer's specified environmental conditions may affect concentrator performance.

Air Travel With the Inogen Rove 4

The Rove 4 meets applicable FAA acceptance criteria for portable oxygen concentrator carriage and use aboard aircraft based on technical performance testing.

Before traveling:

• Contact the airline before departure

• Confirm the airline's current POC procedures

• Ask about required medical documentation

• Determine the amount of battery capacity required

• Plan for airport time, flight time, connections, and possible delays

• Carry adequate charged battery capacity according to airline requirements

Airline procedures can vary even when a concentrator meets applicable FAA criteria.

What's Included

A standard Rove 4 system configuration may include:

• Inogen Rove 4 Portable Oxygen Concentrator

• Rechargeable Rove 4 Battery

• AC Power Supply

• Carry Bag

• User Documentation

The exact battery model and package contents depend on the Rove 4 configuration being purchased and should be confirmed before fulfillment.

Compatible Accessories

Available Rove 4 accessories include compatible:

• Standard battery

• Intermediate battery

• Extended battery

• External battery charger

• Carrying accessories

• AC power equipment

• DC power equipment

• Replacement columns

Always confirm compatibility and part numbers before ordering replacement batteries, power equipment, or other accessories.

Warranty

The Rove 4 currently carries a 3-year standard concentrator warranty.

Inogen's current comparison information also identifies an optional package that upgrades the concentrator to a lifetime warranty.

Individual components and accessories can have different warranty periods, so warranty coverage should be confirmed for the exact configuration and accessories purchased.

Expected Service Life

Inogen currently identifies the Rove 4 among its portable concentrators with an expected service life of up to eight years under specified usage conditions.

Expected service life should not be interpreted as a warranty period or a guarantee that every component will last eight years.

Rechargeable batteries, replaceable columns, and accessories have their own service-life considerations and may require replacement during the concentrator's operating life.

Rove 4 vs. Rove 6

Customers choosing between Inogen's current portable concentrators should primarily consider their prescribed oxygen requirements and portability priorities.

The Rove 4 prioritizes lower weight and compact portability, while the Rove 6 provides two additional pulse settings and greater maximum oxygen output.

Neither model provides continuous-flow oxygen.

The correct choice should be based on the patient's prescription and required oxygen-delivery capability rather than weight or battery runtime alone.
