Hello, my name is
I am suffering from COPD*.
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 therapy** during 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.

*COPD (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.
