The Inogen ONE has had its first Australian medical and public demonstration at the “Thoracic Society Of Australia & New Zealand And The Australian & New Zealand Society Of Respiratory Science 2008 Annual Scientific Meetings”, held at the  Melbourne Convention Centre, and finishing today on April 2.

The Inogen ONE  has been granted Australian TGA approval following successful trials over the past six months – the late Australian asbestos disease campaigner Bernie Banton used one of the trial machines during the last weeks of his life.

The first Australian and New Zealand shipment is due for release to specialist physicians, GPs and the general public from next month.
 
The Inogen ONE is set to retail at approximately AUD $6000 per unit, although short-term rentals for use on aircraft and other travel is also available. For more information, visit the website of the Australian distributor, Independent Living Specialists.
