Philips SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator

The Philips Respironics SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator is a lightweight, compact and rechargeable medical oxygen therapy device designed for patients who require supplemental oxygen while maintaining an active and mobile lifestyle.

This portable oxygen concentrator takes in normal atmospheric air, filters it and separates nitrogen using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to produce oxygen-enriched air.

Unlike traditional oxygen cylinders and stationary oxygen concentrators, SimplyGo Mini is designed to provide greater convenience and mobility. It uses pulse-dose oxygen delivery technology, which detects the patient's inhalation and delivers oxygen during breathing.

Its compact design, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, easy-to-use control panel and carrying accessories make it a convenient option for suitable patients who need prescribed oxygen therapy at home or while travelling.
