Today, Philips launched InnoSpire Go, its smallest and lightest portable hand-held nebulizer. This innovative technology not only provides portable, fast and effective medication delivery but is also proven to reduce treatment time by up to 25 percent. The easy-to-use and virtually silent InnoSpire Go puts hospital-grade nebulizer technology into the hands of the user for portable, fast and effective medication delivery. InnoSpire Go is available in the United States and additional countries including Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
Across the world, over half a billion people suffer from chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although both of these diseases are incurable, symptoms can be managed with the proper treatment, which often includes nebulizers. Technology like InnoSpire Go transforms medication into ultra-fine droplets so they can penetrate the lungs effectively and efficiently – providing a new level of ease to patients with respiratory diseases. With a built-in, rechargeable battery that provides up to 30 treatments per charge and simple two-part assembly, InnoSpire Go can be used at home or on the go.
Globally, more than 252 million people suffer from asthma and another 251 million from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [2, 3] Though incurable, asthma and COPD can be made more manageable with the correct therapy, such as nebulized medications. The InnoSpire Go transforms needed medication into ultra-fine droplets so that they can penetrate even the smallest structures of the lungs effectively. With a built-in, rechargeable battery that provides up to 30 treatments per charge and simple two-part assembly, the InnoSpire Go can be used at home or on the go.
“We want to provide patients with respiratory diseases with a means of effective and rapid therapy,” said Linda Trevenen, Business Leader, Respiratory Drug Delivery at Philips. “InnoSpire Go daily inhalation therapy is as easy as brushing your teeth. Thanks to this nebulizer’s light weight, ease of use, and fast, four-minute treatment time, it is ready for use anywhere, anytime, and is particularly suitable for children and individuals who want to maintain an active lifestyle.”
The clinically proven vibrating mesh technology inside InnoSpire Go, turns liquid medication into a fine mist, for fast treatment in four minutes with less wasted medication and no replaceable batteries.

Aerosol performance is maintained over the life of the product and is delivered with audible and visible indicators that signal therapy completion. The easily detachable mouthpiece makes the InnoSpire Go easy to clean and maintain. Each InnoSpire Go includes our Lite Touch mask for optimal comfort.
