Easy to take with you
Measuring 11.5 inches wide x 6 inches deep x 10 inches high (29.2 x 15.2 x 25.4 cms).
Complete with battery it weighs just 10 pounds (4.5 Kg).
Supplied complete with custom designed trolley with oversized wheels for maximum manouverability.

Simple to use
With its Touch Screen interface SimplyGo is really simple to use.

Three Modes of Operation

Continuous Flow
In Continuous Flow mode SimplyGo will provide a continuous supply of oxygen from 0.5 to 2.0 lpm in 0.5 lpm increments. SimplyGo is therefore compatible with all CPAP type devices and at last we have a POC suitable for patients of all ages from infants upwards.

Pulse mode
When operating in Pulse mode, SimplyGo detects when the patient begins to take a breath and then immediately delivers a measured pulse of oxygen (Bolus), determined by the setting number, during inhalation.

Unique Sleep mode Guarantees Continuity of Oxygen Supply
Sleep mode is similar to Pulse mode, delivering a measured pulse of oxygen when the patient begins to take a breath. However in Sleep Mode it has increased trigger sensitivity and a softer pulse for maximum comfort.

Uniquely, unlike other pulse dose POC, if no breath is detected for just 15 seconds the system will automatically begin delivering 2 lpm of continuous flow.

It will continue delivering 2 lpm for 2 minutes before reverting back to breath detection mode.
If it, again, does not detect a breath for 15 seconds it will continue to deliver 2 lpm for another 2 minutes.

This pattern will repeat indefinately or until breathing is detected. The unit will not shut down for breathing inactivity in Sleep Mode.

How does the SimplyGo portable oxygen concentrator work?
The Respironics SimplyGo portable oxygen concentrator separates oxygen from room air and delivers it through a single lumen cannula. Room air contains approximately 21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen. By passing the air through a series of molecular, bacterial and dust filters, EverGo removes the nitrogen and stores almost pure oxygen.
