from it� If you are not yet breathing through the cannula, SimplyGo will begin
to pulse automatically about once every five seconds� As soon as you begin
breathing through the cannula, the device will begin delivering pulses based
on your breathing� It may take up to 20 minutes for the SimplyGo output to
stabilize within its O
from the SimplyGo at any time�

Operating Modes

This section describes additional operating screens on the SimplyGo device�
1. Pulse Mode Screen
When the device is in the Pulse operating mode, it detects when the user
begins to take a breath and then delivers a pulsed volume of oxygen dur-
ing the inhalation period� The volume of the oxygen pulse is dependent
on the setting value� If no breath is detected for a period of time, the sys-
tem automatically delivers the pulsed volume of oxygen determined by
the setting number at a fixed rate of 12 breaths per minute� If no breath is
detected for 2 minutes, the device signals an alarm and shuts down after
30 minutes�
2. Continuous Flow Mode Screen
In Continuous Flow operating mode, a constant flow of oxygen is sup-
plied based on the setting number (in liters per minute):
• .5 LPM
• 1 LPM
• 1.5 LPM
• 2.0 LPM
Caution: When the SimplyGo device is connected to a CPAP device, you can
only use the Continuous Flow operating mode.
