Before operating Always check that the power cartridge is installed correctly, the air inlet and the exhaust vent of the device are not blocked and that the air inlet filter is clean before using your device.

Turning on your Eclipse The Eclipse can be transported between locations using the attached trolley, and as a stationary source of supplemental oxygen. The device is capable of being operated directly from three different power sources: 1. AC power supply (mains supply) 2. DC power supply (car accessory outlet) 3. Rechargeable power cartridge (battery) The Eclipse charges the optional power cartridge when external power (AC or DC) is present. When external power is disconnected, the device will automatically switch over to the power cartridge, if installed and charged. Proper connection of the AC or DC power supply requires aligning the power plug with the recessed external power receptacle of the device. The recessed external power receptacle is located on the right hand side of the device when facing the user control panel. Push the power plug into the recessed receptacle.

AC power supply (mains supply) The Eclipse includes a universal AC power supply for use wherever standard AC power is available. When the device is plugged in properly, a green indicator on the AC power supply will light and the external power is present indicator will appear on the user control panel. If you need to silence the loss of power alarm, you can do so by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a minimum of five seconds. Connecting the Eclipse to an external AC power supply will also eliminate the alarm.

DC power supply (car accessory outlet) A DC power supply allows the system to operate from DC outlets, such as those found in motor vehicles. Establish if the fuse rating in your motor vehicle is 15amp or 20amp. Once confirmed, set the switch on the DC power supply to the appropriate fuse rate setting. Start your vehicle, insert the DC cord into the recessed power receptacle on the side of the device. Next, insert the DC power supply plug into the DC power outlet in your motor vehicle. When the device is properly connected and receiving power from the DC power source, a green indicator light on the power supply and the external power is present indicator in the control panel will illuminate.

Typical battery pack recharge time The typical time to recharge your power cartridge, in order to achieve 80% capacity, from a fully discharged power cartridge is between 1.4 hours and 5 hours, depending upon the device flow setting.

Caution

Never use any power cord if it is damaged or frayed. Improper use of the power cord may result in a fire or electrical shock hazard. Do not connect the Eclipse to an extension cord or to an electrical outlet controlled by a switch. Always unplug the AC power cord from the wall before disconnecting the plug from the Eclipse. Use the 10amp position on the DC power supply for a 15amp vehicle fuse rating and use the 15amp position for a 20amp or greater vehicle fuse rating.

Transporting your Eclipse device You can transport your Eclipse device provided you follow this advice: • Secure the Eclipse and the DC power supply in your vehicle and be sure there is adequate air flow to the device and that the air inlet and exhaust vents are not blocked. Blocking of the air inlet or exhaust vent may impair device performance. Ensure the Eclipse is secured safely behind the front seats or on the back seat with a secure fastening • Do not leave the Eclipse or DC power supply plugged into the vehicle without the engine running or attempt to start the vehicle while the DC power supply is connected to the vehicle. Doing so will drain the vehicle’s battery • If the vehicle’s DC power source drops below 11.5 volts (brown out condition), the Eclipse will revert to power cartridge operation (if the power cartridge is present). The external power is present indicator may remain on • Do not leave your Eclipse, or power cartridge, in the seating area or boot of your motor vehicle during a hot day

The storage temperature range for the device is -20oC (-4oF) to +60oC (+140oF) and 95% non-condensing humidity.

Caution

Do not leave your equipment on show when your vehicle is unattended.

Operating your Eclipse device Step 1 – location of your Eclipse Place your Eclipse device in a well-ventilated area making sure the air inlet and exhaust vent are not obstructed. Plug the device into a grounded/earthed AC power supply. Step 2 – turning your device on Press and hold the ‘on/off’ button for five seconds to power on your Eclipse. A brief audible and visual Power On Self-Test (POST) will occur. Check that all the indicators are illuminated and that a buzzer sounds for three seconds. This indicates the device is operating properly. Allow it to warm up for five minutes to reach its performance specifications.

Warm-up period The Eclipse has an Oxygen Concentration Status Indicator (OCSI) built-in to the device which continually monitors the oxygen output of the device. The OCSI incorporates a green light (normal), yellow light (alert) red light (alarm) and a buzzer. The red and yellow indicators will sequentially go out when the oxygen purity of the device is within performance specifications.

Caution

If during POST there are three beeps, this indicates a low battery condition for the 9-volt battery inside the cabinet of the Eclipse. Please contact Air Products. Do not open the cabinet.

Step 3 – connecting your accessories Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen outlet and connect the oxygen cannula. Replace the cannula and oxygen supply tubing regularly as directed by your homecare service engineer. Step 4 – selecting the flow delivery mode Press the flow mode button to select the desired flow mode. Pressing this button repeatedly will toggle you back and forth between the flow modes. The flow mode and flow setting should be prescribed for you by your health care professional.

Pulse flow mode operation Pulse flow setting should not be used if your health care professional has specified on your HOOF that you should not use a conserver. When used in pulse flow mode, breathing can only be detected when you are using a cannula. A mask must not be used as the machine will not detect the breathing pattern. Also your supply tubing must not exceed 2.1m (7ft) in length. If, after 45 seconds, a breath has not been detected, a yellow visual alert and bleep will occur and after 60 seconds the machine will switch back to continuous flow. The device will use the last continuous flow setting when this occurs. The yellow visual alert will then stop.

Caution

Always check your tubing and accessories are not damaged before use. Pulse dose should not be used overnight or when you are sleeping.

Step 5 – adjust the flow setting to the prescribed level Using the +/ – flow setting buttons, adjust the flow setting to the prescribed setting supplied by your health care professional. Do not change from the prescribed flow setting without consulting your health care professional. Step 6 – begin using your Eclipse Breathe normally through the nasal cannula. Step 7 – mobile trolley operation The mobile trolley is designed for use on pedestrian-type surfaces. Press the push-button on the mobile cart handle to adjust the height of the handle. Step 8 – power off the device Press and hold the on/off button for two seconds to turn off your Eclipse.

Caution

Always store the Eclipse in a cool and dry location.
