Well, we are all familiar with the line of products that Philips manufacture.

The “simply go mini” is also the only respiratory oxygen therapy product from Philips and they did an excellent job in ticking all the right boxes.

Working of the Philips SimplyGo Mini

The Philips SimplyGo Mini is capable of functioning at 5-different Pulse Dose settings. Even though it does not feature a concentrated flow setting, the five different pulse dose settings are more than capable of delivering any amount of required oxygen. In fact, the SimplyGo Mini has the highest oxygen output in comparison to its other counterparts with its lightweight capability. Philips estimates that the Simply Go Mini gives about 20%more oxygen output than its other competitors.

The Oxygen concentration stays almost constant at about 87% – 96% in all the 5-different settings options.

The Philips SimplyGo Mini comes with two different battery options-the standard battery and the extended battery. The standard battery can give a backup duration of up to 4.5 hours, whereas, the extended battery can give backup of up to 9 hours (with the lowest settings option).
