Oxygen Users Can Now Drive Coast To Coast Using Just One Battery!

    DENVER, CO, December 03, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In the not too distant past, those who were dependent on supplemental oxygen were relegated to a fairly sedentary lifestyle. Metal tanks were cumbersome to move about and didn't last very long. They weren't allowed on planes and were dangerous to travel with in the car. With the advent of portable oxygen concentrators, oxygen patients are once again able to live fuller, more independent lives. Concentrators draw ambient air through a series of filters producing medical grade oxygen. They never need refilling and are virtually maintenance free. Respironics, one of the largest manufacturers of portable oxygen concentrators, has just released an update to their extremely popular unit, The SimplyGo. The SimplyGo's smaller and sleeker counterpart, The SimplyGo Mini, offers 5 pulse settings. It weighs in at just 5 pounds with the standard battery installed or 6 pounds with the extended battery, making it the lightest concentrator available with 5 settings.

Active oxygen users will be happy to learn that not only is it half the weight of the SimplyGo, but the battery life on the Mini is also much improved. The standard battery provides up to 4.5 hours on a setting of 2 while the extended battery can last up to 9 hours. This unit also comes with a D/C power supply that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter of a car, boat, or RV. The D/C power supply both runs the concentrator and charges the battery for virtually unlimited oxygen while on the road. The standard A/C power supply for home use is also included and plugs into any standard wall outlet.

The enhanced control screen is also much more interactive. The transreflective display is easy to see in both bright sunlight, as well as in the dark. It is possible to change the flow rate, turn the alarm volume up or down, and adjust screen brightness from the centralized control screen. It also shows battery life and gives a warning when the battery has used 80% of its power and will need to be changed or charged in the near future.

When news broke about this new development from Respironics there was a lot of excitement about the Mini. Demand for this concentrator is expected to be great with those on higher pulse prescriptions wanting smaller and lighter concentrators for travel and everyday use. To ensure that those purchasing the Mini will be receiving top notch service from only the most reputable dealers, Respironics is only allowing a very select few authorized distributors to carry the Mini.

One of the few places that the SimplyGo Mini will be available is 1st Class Medical. Vice-President of 1st Class Medical, Cory Luckner says, "We have had a long and successful partnership with Respironics and are excited to be one of the only distributors to receive the new SimplyGo Mini. We are excited to get it into the hands of some of our patients who used to have to get much larger concentrators because their dosage was greater than 4. This 5 pound concentrator is going to make travel and getting around day to day much easier for them."
