Inogen to Recognize National COPD Awareness Month at The Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell Ceremony

GOLETA, Calif., Nov. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inogen, Inc. (NASDAQ:INGN), a medical technology company offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare setting, today announced it will ring The Nasdaq Stock Market closing bell in New York City on November 19, 2015 in honor of National COPD Awareness Month.

Inogen was founded in 2001 to improve the life of a beloved grandmother with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Based on 2014 industry data, the Company believes it was the leading worldwide manufacturer of portable oxygen concentrators, as well as the largest provider of portable oxygen concentrators to Medicare patients, as measured by dollar volume. According to the American Lung Association, COPD is the 3^rd leading cause of death in the US and it is estimated that more than half of COPD patients remain unaware and undiagnosed. November is National COPD Awareness Month and Inogen's goal is to raise awareness of COPD so that others may seek treatment to live longer and more fulfilling lives.

Inogen's Chief Financial Officer, Alison Bauerlein said, "It was one of Inogen's proudest moments to give my grandmother, Mae, our first portable oxygen concentrator, which she inspired. Mae was diagnosed with COPD early and was able to live active and fulfilling years with proper treatment. It is our hope that others with breathing difficulties seek screening for COPD and can receive the appropriate treatment."

A live webcast of the Closing Bell ceremony will be available at https://new.livestream.com/nasdaq/live.
