Features of Inogen One G5 Replacement Column Pair
- Hassle-free Sieve Beds - Customers have the freedom to order and replace sieve beds themselves, thereby saving overhead and shipping costs.
- Less Inventory - By providing replaceable sieve beds, HME providers don’t need to keep loaner POCs on hand for customers to use during maintenance.
- Reduced Shipping Costs - We limit the number of deliveries required to replace a single sieve bed while also shipping filters in smaller packages.
