Suresnes, FRANCE - Philips Respironics, a unit
of Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI), is
releasing its latest advancement in oxygen therapy in
multiple markets, after its release in the USA earlier this
year. SimplyGo is the only portable oxygen concentrator
(POC) to offer user-triggered and continuous flow in a
design of fewer than 5 kg (10 pounds), thus offering a
unique solution to homecare providers and physicians
looking at managing the therapy and lifestyle needs of
their oxygen users.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Chronic
Respiratory Failure patients on oxygen prescription should
use their oxygen device for at least 15 hours a day to
improve their quality of life and long term survival .
"Philips Respironics' oxygen solutions give patients the
choice to select the best fitted solution to help them in
the observance of their oxygen therapy while still being in
harmony with their lifestyle", said Mats Dahlquist, Vice
President Home Healthcare Solutions International.
Like all POCs, SimplyGo delivers pulse-dose oxygen, a burst
of oxygen triggered when the user starts to take a breath.
SimplyGo is also capable of delivering oxygen continuously,
similar to stationary concentrators used at home. With an
oxygen output up two liters per minute, SimplyGo can meet
the needs of nearly 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. 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 an attractive, functional carrying
case; fold-up mobile cart; intuitive, easy-to-read screen;
and detachable accessory bag. It offers outstanding
flexibility with its detachable battery that can be
recharged anywhere there is a power source, even in the
car. Philips designed its latest POC with reliability,
ruggedness in mind. SimplyGo has been rigorously tested in
extreme conditions including impacts, vibrations and
temperatures to deliver reliable performance through
patients' day-to-day activities.

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. The benefits of SimplyGo also extend to
homecare providers with flexible service programs or
warranty options of two-, three-, or five-year to meet
their individual business needs. SimplyGo's design and
comprehensive service tools also allow technicians to
perform work right on site, if they choose.
This newest innovation from Philips Respironics
provides oxygen patients with greater mobility and
simplicity to help improve their lives. For more
