Philips Respironics SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator - Extended Battery

Yes, and we cannot dispatch without it. Medical oxygen requires a prescription, a trained clinical assessment and proper instruction on use, and we need a copy of the patient's prescription on file before the unit is sent. If you are not sure what the prescription needs to state, call us on 1300 881 824 and we will tell you what is required.

Run time, and a little weight. The extended battery roughly doubles the standard one at every setting: up to 9 hours against 4.5 at pulse setting 2 and 20 breaths per minute, for about 400 g more weight. This listing comes with the extended battery fitted. Spare extended batteries are available separately if you want a second one to swap in.

No. It delivers pulse dose oxygen, released in pulses as you inhale, across settings 1 to 5. If your prescription calls for continuous flow you need a device that can deliver it: the Eclipse 5 gives 0.5 to 3 LPM continuous flow alongside pulse dose, and the Zen-O runs both modes with up to 2 litres per minute. Your clinician can confirm which mode applies to you.

Usually, but the paperwork and the battery rating both matter. Australian airlines run their own approval on top of any manufacturer conformance. Qantas keeps a list of accepted medical devices and needs an approved Travel Clearance Form submitted at least five days before you fly, and you can be refused boarding without it. Virgin Australia asks for a medical clearance and a call around five days ahead. Check the watt hour rating printed on your battery against the airline limits as well. We have written a fuller guide on travelling with an oxygen concentrator in Australia.

Yes. A DC cord and adapter are included and attach to any 12V outlet. Take the AC adapter with you as well so you can recharge once you arrive.

Up to 8 hours for the extended battery from flat, and up to 4 hours for the standard battery. Both recharge through the AC adapter, or through the DC adapter from a vehicle. Separate battery chargers are available if you would rather charge a spare while the unit is running.

Philips rate it at 42 dBA on setting 2 and 48 dBA on setting 5, both measured at 20 breaths per minute. On the lower settings that is about the level of a quiet office. It does climb as the setting goes up, so if you spend most of the day on setting 4 or 5 and noise matters to you, call us on 1300 881 824 and we will compare it against the quieter units we stock.

Pulse dose concentrators are not generally recommended for use while sleeping, because they may not reliably detect the shallow breathing that happens once you are asleep. If you have been prescribed oxygen overnight, ask your clinician whether a continuous flow device suits you better and look at the Eclipse 5 or a home stationary concentrator instead.

No. Pulse delivery relies on the device sensing your breath through a nasal cannula, and a mask breaks that trigger. Cannulas and tubing are in our oxygen consumables range.

The unit carries a 12 month manufacturer warranty. Servicing and repairs are handled by our own technical services team here in Australia, so give us a call on 1300 881 824 rather than sending it overseas.

A cylinder holds a fixed volume of oxygen and runs out, so the week gets planned around refills and deliveries. A concentrator draws in the air around you, strips out the nitrogen and delivers oxygen at therapeutic purity, so it only stops when the power does. There is nothing to refill and nothing to return.
