Description
Quick answer: The Philips Respironics SimplyGo is a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) that delivers both continuous flow and pulse-dose oxygen in a single, relatively compact unit — a combination that many portable concentrators don’t offer. Because it provides continuous flow, it can be suitable for a wider range of needs, including nighttime use, when prescribed. It runs on AC, DC (vehicle), or a rechargeable battery. A prescription is required, and settings are determined by your physician.
What’s included
- 1 × SimplyGo concentrator
- Rechargeable battery, AC power supply, DC (mobile) power cord, and carry case/cart (confirm exact kit contents against packaging)
Cannula and other consumables may be supplied separately.
About this concentrator
A portable oxygen concentrator draws in room air and concentrates the oxygen from it, delivering oxygen-enriched air to the user — so there are no tanks to refill. POCs generally come in two types: pulse-dose (a burst of oxygen timed to each breath) and continuous flow (a steady flow regardless of breathing). Many portables offer only pulse dose.
The SimplyGo provides both, which is its defining strength. Continuous flow matters because some situations — including sleep, when breathing is shallower and pulse-triggering can be less reliable — call for a steady flow rather than breath-triggered doses. Having both modes in one device gives more flexibility to match a prescription across day and night.
It’s built to be genuinely portable — carried in its bag or wheeled on its cart — and powered from AC at home, DC in a vehicle, or its rechargeable battery on the move. Oxygen settings are prescribed by your physician, and you should only use the device at the flow and mode prescribed.

Important notes
Supplemental oxygen must be used only as prescribed by a physician, at the prescribed flow rate and mode. Follow the SimplyGo user guide and your provider’s directions. Oxygen supports combustion — keep the device and cannula away from smoking, open flame, sparks, and heat sources, and don’t use oil, grease, or petroleum-based products on or near the equipment. Keep the air intake and outlet unobstructed, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for battery care and for air travel (portable concentrators have specific airline rules).
