Royal Respironics is launching a portable concentrator to offer a new solution for managing oxygen therapy services.
The company, part of Royal Philips Electronics, has unveiled SimplyGo, a portable oxygen concentrator providing user-triggered and continuous flow in a design weighting fewer than 5kg.
The device delivers pulse-dose oxygen - a burst of oxygen triggered when the user starts to take a breath. It is also capable of delivering oxygen continuously, similar to stationary concentrators used at home. With an oxygen output up to two litres per minute, SimplyGo is designed for the all oxygen users, including those who are highly active or require continuous flow.
“Philips Respironics is dedicated to offering a variety of innovative products that improve treatment and increase mobility for oxygen users, streamline business operations, and simplify therapy,” said a spokesman. “SimplyGo is an essential addition to Philips’ extensive line of home oxygen products. It’s a new breed of portable concentrator that simplifies the care and management of nearly all oxygen users.
SimplyGo comes with a functional carrying case; fold-up mobile cart; intuitive, easy-to-read screen; and detachable accessory bag. It also has a detachable battery that can be recharged anywhere there is a power source, even in the car.
”SimplyGo can adapt to most oxygen patients’ needs while providing them with the independence to enjoy time away from home for the day, for work, for a weekend or long vacations,” said the spokesman.
