Things To Know

Can I use the SimplyGo Mini without a battery?

Yes! The SimplyGo Mini can be used without a battery as long as it is plugged into a wall outlet with the AC power supply or a vehicle with the DC power supply.

Can I use the SimplyGo Mini while charging?

Yes, the SimplyGo Mini can be used while it is plugged into an AC electrical outlet or a DC vehicle outlet. The external power will run the unit and charge the battery at the same time.

How long does it take to charge the batteries?

It takes about 3 hours to charge the SimplyGo Mini batteries.

Can I use the SimplyGo Mini while sleeping?

The SimplyGo Mini provides only pulse flow oxygen, which requires sufficient inhalation to trigger the pulse of oxygen. While many oxygen users can use a pulse unit while sleeping, others tend to breathe too shallow or through their mouth while sleeping and are unable to trigger the pulse. These oxygen users would be best served by using a portable unit that has a continuous flow setting.

Product Info

The Philips SimplyGo Mini portable oxygen concentrator delivers 1 to 5 pulse flow and weighs only 5 pounds.

The pulse mode is ideal for anyone who requires oxygen therapy, especially active users who don’t want to be confined to their home. When in the pulse flow mode, use a fingertip pulse oximeter to determine what setting would best keep your blood oxygen level above 90%. The SimplyGo Mini can be used while charging the battery using the AC adapter or DC car adapter. The battery duration on the setting 3 pulse would be approximately 3 hours on the smaller battery and 6 hours using the larger battery. The SimplyGo Mini is also unsurpassed in safety, featuring alarms that indicate high breath rate, no breath detection, low oxygen, system technical fault, and low battery indicator.
