Getting Started

Attach the shoulder strap to the carrying case.

Before using the SimplyGo device for the first time, the SimplyGo battery 

requires an initial uninterrupted charging time of 4 hours minimum. This can 

be accomplished by installing the battery and using the AC Power Cord, as 

described in the following pages.

Note: Philips Respironics does not recommend using DC power for this initial 

charging.

Caution: Use only Philips Respironics batteries in your SimplyGo device.

Using other batteries could damage the device and will void the 

warranty. Remove the battery if the SimplyGo will not be used for an 

extended period of time.

Battery Duration Times

SimplyGo’s battery times vary depending on which operating mode (Pulse or 

Continuous Flow) is being used and which setting is selected in the operating

mode. SimplyGo is designed to allow easy access to the battery so that it is 

easy to swap out and utilize extra batteries (sold separately) as needed. Extra 

batteries fit easily into the zippered pouch of the carrying case or in the handy 

accessories bag. Additionally, extra batteries can be charged in the external 

battery charger (sold separately) or in the SimplyGo device (see the “Charging 

the Battery with the AC Power Supply” section), allowing maximum flexibility 

to meet your specific battery needs.

The following table shows the approximate battery durations for Pulse flow 

settings at 20 BPM and Continuous Flow settings when the battery is fully

charged. Your times may vary based on your activity level, the condition of the 

batteries, and the age of your SimplyGo device.

Inserting and Removing the Batteries

Your SimplyGo device comes with one rechargeable lithium ion battery. To 

insert it correctly, follow these steps.

1. Place your device in a well ventilated location and make sure it is 

turned off.

Note: The SimplyGo device is shipped from the factory with the battery 

removed. 

Caution:	 Only remove the battery when the SimplyGo is turned off.

Never remove the battery while the device is 

operating.

2. To remove the battery, insert your fingers into 

the opening in the battery handle. Steadily pull 

upward on the handle until the battery is released

SimplyGo User Manual

Charging the Battery with the AC Power Supply

Important: The first time you charge the battery, be sure to charge it fully. Do 

not use the DC power cord to do so; instead use AC power. 

Note: The battery will begin charging whenever you connect the device to an 

AC outlet, even if you’re using it.

To charge the battery using the AC Power Cord provided with your system, 

follow these steps.

1. Connect the AC Power Supply’s output cable to the SimplyGo power 

input connector.

2. Connect the AC Power Cord’s connector into the AC power supply.

3. Connect the AC Power Cord’s plug into an AC outlet installed to meet 

national or regional electrical code.

Note: As soon as you connect the device to an energized AC power source, 

the light on the AC Power Supply lights up and the cooling fan turns on.

This is normal. The fan will run the entire time it is charging to keep the 

battery cool.

4. When charging is complete (this takes four hours or less), disconnect 

the AC Power Supply and store it with the AC Power Cord for future 

use.

Note: Replacement and spare batteries are available separately. For

information, contact your home care provider.

Note: An optional SimplyGo Smart Battery Charger/Recalibrator (sold 

separately) is available for your system. For more information, contact

your home care provider.

SimplyGo User Manual

Device Warm-Up Breathing

When you turn on your SimplyGo device, it will sense if you are breathing 

from it. If you are not yet breathing through the cannula, SimplyGo will begin 

to pulse automatically about once every five seconds. The only purpose of 

this “device warm-up breathing” is to help the device warm up faster. As soon 

as you begin breathing through the cannula, the device will begin delivering 

pulses based on your breathing. Device warm-up breathing occurs only when 

you first turn on the device. You may begin breathing from the SimplyGo at 

any time. If the device does not sense a breath after two minutes, a No Breath 

alarm will sound.

Operating Modes

This section describes additional operating screens on the SimplyGo device.

1. Pulse Mode Screen

When the device is in the Pulse operating mode, it detects when the user 

begins to take a breath and then delivers a pulsed volume of oxygen 

determined by the setting number, during inhalation. If no breath is detected for a period of time, the system automatically delivers the pulsed 

volume of oxygen determined by the setting number at a fixed rate of 

12 breaths per minute. If no breath is detected for 2 minutes, the device 

signals an alarm and shuts down after 30 minutes.
15

SimplyGo User Manual

2. Continuous Flow Mode Screen

	 In Continuous Flow operating mode, a constant flow of oxygen is supplied based on the setting number (in liters per minute):

• 	 .5 LPM

• 	 1 LPM

• 	 1.5 LPM

• 	 2.0 LPM

3. Sleep Mode Screen

The Sleep operating mode is similar to the Pulse Mode. The device 

detects when the user begins to take a breath using a more sensitive 

detection level. The SimplyGo then delivers a pulsed volume of oxygen 

determined by the setting number. During inhalation, a low amplitude 

and longer pulse duration is used to make sleeping more comfortable. If 

no breath is detected for a period of time, the system automatically delivers a continuous flow of oxygen at a rate consistent with the last used 

Continuous Flow Mode setting.

Selecting the Operating Modes

You can use the Mode button (M) to select the device operating mode.

To select your operating mode:

1. Press the Mode button.

Note: If the device is operating and the screen is dark, the first press turns on 

the screen backlight. In this case, press the button a second time to 

select the mode.
16

SimplyGo User Manual

2. Continue pressing the Mode button to scroll through the Pulse, Continuous Flow, or Sleep modes.

3. When your desired mode appears in the display, stop pressing the button 

and wait. The display will return to the run time screen of the mode you 

selected, and the device will operate in this mode.

Operating the SimplyGo Device and Changing 

Device Settings

You can change all device settings using the buttons on the control panel.

This includes starting the device, stopping it, 

silencing an alarm, and changing oxygen flow.

To start your SimplyGo device, follow these steps.

1. Connect a nasal cannula to the patient 

cannula connector on top of the device, 

as shown. Ensure that the cannula is 

routed to prevent it from being pinched 

or kinked to avoid a disruption of oxygen flow.

Note: A standard single lumen nasal cannula and tubing (not supplied) 

should be used to deliver oxygen from the SimplyGo device. The device 

works with cannula tubing up to 30 ft. (9 m).

2. To start the device, press the Power button. After the first press, the 

display screen and the 5 button backlights turn on and you will see 

a screen similar to the one shown below, left. If the battery capacity 

is 1/2 full and the battery is being charged, the screen will appear as 

shown at right.

Note: The symbols and alarms shown on these screens are discussed in detail 

in the Alarm Indicators and Display Symbols section.
17

SimplyGo User Manual

3. Press the Power button a second time to place the device in 

operating mode. This second press helps prevent unwanted starts 

or inadvertent changes in oxygen flow. The Introductory screen 

momentarily appears, shown at left below, followed by the final 

operating mode screen, shown at right.

Every time it starts up, the device starts producing oxygen to meet 

the specified setting. It may take up to ten minutes to reach the 

specified purity levels for the setting. It is safe to begin breathing 

from the SimplyGo device immediately. Breathing from the device 

will cause it to reach oxygen purity levels faster than ten minutes.

The dot in the lower right corner of the LCD display is the pulse 

symbol. It appears whenever you take a breath and the device 

delivers a pulse of oxygen.

Note: When it is turned on, the device will automatically start at the flow rate 

setting used when the device was last turned off. As a precaution, each

time you start the device, verify the flow setting.

4. To set the device’s flow setting, press either the + or – button.

To increase the flow setting, press the + button. To decrease the flow 

setting, press the – button.

The device can be set to 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 in 

Pulse or Sleep Mode. It can be set to .5, 1, 1.5, and 2 in Continuous 

Flow Mode.

Warning: It is very important to set your device to your prescribed level of 

oxygen flow. Do not increase or decrease your flow rate from your 

prescribed level until you first consult with your physician.

SimplyGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator 

Mobility

Your SimplyGo system has been designed to provide you with a source of 

oxygen that can be carried with you. To enable you to do so, your SimplyGo 

device has a carrying case bag, accessory bag, and a mobile cart for use with 

it.

SimplyGo Carrying Case

The SimplyGo carrying case allows you to take your 

supply of oxygen with you as you go about your 

normal, daily activities. It provides protection for your 

SimplyGo as well as a carrying strap to transport the 

device. To place the SimplyGo into its carrying bag:

1. Position the bag and the SimplyGo so that the 

front of the device corresponds with the surface 

of the bag that has a zippered accessory pouch.

This will ensure that the inlet air vent on the rear 

of the device, the outlet air vent on the front, 

bottom of the device and the power input connect on the side of the device line up with their 

openings provided in the bag. If the SimplyGo 

is not placed in the bag properly the air vents 

will be blocked, and the device will overheat 

during operation and shut off.

2. Insert the device into the top of the bag and 

pull the snuggly fitting bag up around the 

device. Check to ensure that the air vents and 

power input connector align with their openings in the case.
