SimplyGo,

ready for a stroll

Quick start guide

Hello, my name is

I am suffering from COPD.1

My physician has prescribed for me

long-term oxygen therapy that requires

the regular use of high concentrations

of oxygen. My SimplyGo portable oxygen

concentrator provides me with this

reliable supply of oxygen. It is important for me to

use oxygen therapy2during both my daily activities

and at night. My SimplyGo stays with me wherever

I go and helps me get the exercise I need.

I can walk, stand, move about, and basically enjoy

my day while I receive my daily oxygen therapy.

It can improve the quality of my life.

Why SimplyGo?

1COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) refers to a group of lung diseases, such as emphysema

and chronic bronchitis, that obstruct air from easily entering and exiting the lungs, thus preventing the

proper elimination of carbon dioxide.

SimplyGo battery specification

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the

SimplyGo for in-flight use on commercial airliners.

Although the FAA and other international aviation regulatory bodies allow the

use of approved portable oxygen concentrators on commercial airlines, many

domestic and international carriers have additional requirements including

advance notification, and possession of a physician’s letter and oxygen

prescription.

If you are planning to fly with your SimplyGo, contact your airline well in
