When were the G3 and G4 discontinued?
The Inogen One G3 was discontinued in 2021 when Inogen launched the G5. The G3 served the lightweight 1-to-5-setting market and was a popular travel POC during its production run. After 2021, no new G3 units were manufactured.
The Inogen One G4 was discontinued in 2024 when Inogen launched the Rove 4. The G4 served the ultralight 1-to-3-setting market and was popular among low-prescription patients. After 2024, no new G4 units were manufactured.
Both units are end-of-life from a manufacturing standpoint. They still operate, but the support infrastructure (parts, batteries, sieves) is on a downward trajectory.
What G3 and G4 owners are losing in 2026
Three things are decreasing in 2026 for G3 and G4 owners.
Parts availability
Sieve beds and particle filters for G3 and G4 are available while supplies last. Once Inogen's manufacturing stock is depleted, these parts will no longer be available. Other consumables are following the same curve.
Battery and adapter availability
Inogen continues to produce some G3/G4-compatible batteries and adapters, but production volume is decreasing as Inogen prioritizes Rove-series accessories. Prices on remaining G3/G4 batteries have been increasing.
Service capacity
Factory-Certified service centers continue to repair G3 and G4 units, but the parts pipeline limits what can actually be repaired. A G3 with a failed compressor in 2027 may not be repairable simply because the replacement compressor is no longer available.
Best replacement paths
Vita-Ox HD7
The seven-setting upgrade option. 4.37 lbs, 7 pulse settings, 1,400 ml/min peak output, 2.8" full-color LCD, 5-year device warranty with 2-year user-replaceable sieve bed warranty, $2,295. The right choice for G3 or G4 owners who want the most setting headroom for future prescription progression, the longest standard warranty in the class, and a sieve bed that the owner can replace without shipping the unit back to a manufacturer.
Rhythm P2-E6
A six-setting alternative to the Rove 6. 4.37 lbs, 1,200 ml/min, 2.8" color LCD, $2,995. The P2-E6 matches the Rove 6 on settings, beats it on weight and display, and is priced below the Rove 6 with extended battery. Does not use Inogen-compatible accessories.
Inogen Rove 6
The high-capability Inogen path. Six pulse settings, 4.8 lbs (standard battery) or 5.8 lbs (extended), 1,260 ml/min peak output, monochrome LCD, full backward compatibility with G5 batteries and accessories. Pricing is $2,995 to $3,215. Best for G3 or G4 owners whose prescriptions have progressed beyond what their current unit covers.
The case for upgrading now
Three reasons G3 and G4 owners should consider upgrading in 2026 rather than waiting for the current unit to fail.
The parts curve is pointing down
Sieve beds and other consumables for G3 and G4 are increasingly difficult to source. A failure in 2027 or 2028 may not be repairable.
New units have better capability
The Vita-Ox HD7 at 4.37 lbs with 7 settings and 1,400 ml/min output is a different category of device from a 2018-era G3. The weight, display, output, and warranty differences are felt every day.
Pricing on new units is favorable
The Vita-Ox HD7 at $2,295 delivers more capability than the Rove 6 with extended battery at $2,995, while costing $700 less. The 2026 market is not asking owners to pay a premium for the latest generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
When were the Inogen G3 and G4 discontinued?
The Inogen One G3 was discontinued in 2021 when the G5 launched. The Inogen One G4 was discontinued in 2024 when the Rove 4 launched. Both units are end-of-life from a manufacturing standpoint and are no longer in active production.
Are G3 and G4 parts and service still available?
Limited service is still available through Factory-Certified service centers including Main Clinic Supply. Battery and AC/DC adapter availability is decreasing as Inogen prioritizes Rove-series accessories. Sieve beds and particle filters for G3 and G4 are available while supplies last, then no longer.
Can I keep using my G3 or G4 indefinitely?
Functionally yes, until the unit's sieves degrade or a critical part fails without available replacement. Practically, the parts availability curve points down. G3 and G4 owners should plan to upgrade within the next 2 to 3 years, even if the unit currently works.
What is the best direct replacement for my G3?
The Inogen Rove 4 is the closest functional replacement to the G3 at 2.9 lbs and 4 pulse settings, with the same Inogen battery ecosystem if your G3 batteries are still in service. The Vita-Ox HD7 is a step up in capability if you want more settings, higher peak output, and a longer warranty for less money.
What is the best direct replacement for my G4?
The Inogen Rove 4 is the direct successor to the G4 with one additional pulse setting and full G4 battery and accessory compatibility. The Vita-Ox HD7 is the upgrade option with seven settings, more headroom for prescription progression, and the longest standard warranty in the class.
Should I just upgrade to the Rove 6 instead of the Rove 4?
Depends on your prescription. If your G4 was meeting your needs at settings 1 to 3, the Rove 4 covers you with one setting of headroom. If your prescription has progressed to setting 4 or higher, the Rove 6 or the Vita-Ox HD7 makes more sense. The Vita-Ox HD7 at $2,295 with 7 settings is the most future-proof option for patients with any expectation of progression.
