Announces Receipt of the EC Certificate and International Launch of the Inogen One G4® Portable Oxygen Concentrator

GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Inogen, Inc. (NASDAQ: INGN), a medical technology company offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare setting, today announced that it has received the EC Certificate for the Inogen One G4 portable oxygen concentrator and that effective immediately, the Inogen One G4 is available for sale in select international countries.

The Inogen One G4 was released to the U.S. market in May of 2016 and has been embraced by oxygen therapy users for its innovative features allowing patients to reclaim their freedom and independence. At only 2.8 pounds and weighing less than commonly used oxygen tanks, the Inogen One G4 is designed to seamlessly fit into the lifestyles of active oxygen therapy users while functioning as a true single solution for oxygen therapy at home, away, and for travel. The Inogen One G4 represents approximately 50% of the Company’s sales in its direct-to-consumer business channel, demonstrating the patient demand and acceptance of the product.

“The Inogen One G4 product provides a competitive advantage for us as we believe it produces more oxygen per pound of weight than any other portable oxygen concentrator,” said Scott Wilkinson, Inogen President and CEO. “We are thrilled to launch the Inogen One G4 internationally and look forward to working with our international partners to increase freedom and independence for oxygen users with this product around the world as we have done in the United States.”

The Inogen One G4 is available for sale immediately in countries where Inogen has regulatory clearance/ approval and where additional clearances, registrations, or approvals beyond the EC Certificate are not required. Some select countries in Europe such as Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal require additional product registrations before the product is allowed for sale. In addition, product adoption may be limited in select markets until reimbursement is obtained and the product is available on large tenders.
