How The Eclipse 3 WorksINTRODUCTION
The Eclipse 3, Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System with autoSAT Technology is a portable medical device used to extract
oxygen from the atmosphere, concentrate it to 87–95.6% and present the oxygen to the patient. The device will operate inContinuous Flow Mode or Pulse Dose Mode. In Continuous Flow Mode the oxygen is provided at a constant flow rate between
0.5 and 3.0 LPM. In Pulse Dose Mode, oxygen is supplied in a bolus at the beginning of each inspiration, providing a selectable
range setting of16mL to 192mL.
The Eclipse operates from either external power or from an internal rechargeable Power Cartridge. The system includes a“Smart Battery” charger that recharges the internal Power Cartridge whenever the Eclipse is connected to AC power. The
system monitors and controls both the power source and the Power Cartridge charger.

Figure 1: ECLIPSE System Block Diagram

ATF® CONCENTRATOR MODULE
The Eclipse uses a passive system to separate oxygen from air. Air flows into the Eclipse where it is filtered and then enters thecompressor. Pressurized air flows from the compressor into the ATF® Concentrator Module where it is separated into oxygenand nitrogen components.The air separation process uses a rotary valve system to force air through a series of pressurized sieve
beds. Through a process known as “vacuum pressure swing adsorption,” nitrogen molecules are collected on an adsorbent
material allowing the concentrated oxygen to be forced through a sieve bed into the product tank. The nitrogen molecules
are then purged from the adsorbent material using a vacuum pressure cycle.
Oxygen flows from the product tank through a HEPA filter and past a sensor that measures flow and concentration. A flow
control valve regulates the flow of concentrated oxygen presented to the patient.The process is continuously repeated during
operation.

Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual

COMPRESSOR AND COMPRESSOR ENCLOSURE
The Eclipse Compressor is a two-cylinder, variable speed wobble piston compressor, driven by a highly efficient Brushless DC(BLDC) motor. When air flows into the Compressor enclosure, it passes through an air intake filter/muffler that muffles soundand filters out impurities. Using one cylinder, the compressor takes in filtered air and delivers it to the ATF Module underpressure. The second cylinder draws a vacuum on the ATF module and exhausts nitrogen rich gas to the exhaust vent.
Using a multifaceted approach, sound, heat, and vibration generated by the compressor are mitigated by the compressor
enclosure. Vibration and structure-borne noise are addressed by the dual axis gimbal that supports the compressor and thetubing that connects the compressor to the ATF module. The rigid walls of the compressor enclosure and the sound adsorbing
foam that lines it diminish the radiated noise. The centrifugal blower mounted within the compressor enclosure serves toefficiently draw cooling air in over the compressor cylinders while simultaneously pushing exhaust gas out of the concentrator.

POWER DISTRIBUTION
The Power Manager takes external power that comes into the Eclipse from the power supplies or Power Cartridge and monitorsand controls power distribution to the rest of the Eclipse system. The Power Manager drives the compressor, ATF module
motor, blower, and provides power to the Control Board. In addition, when the unit is connected to an external power source,
the power manager monitors and controls the recharging of the Power Cartridge.

CONTROL BOARD
The Control Board is at the center of nearly all Eclipse functions.The board constantly monitors dynamics such as temperatures,pressures, product flow and concentration, and user input. It determines proper compressor and ATF motor speeds neededin order to provide optimum system performance. In addition, this system supports the operation of the Control Panel and its
indicators.
The Control Board utilizes a proprietary ultrasonic flow and concentration sensor and a flow control valve to accurately control
the flow of oxygen in Continuous Flow and Pulse Dose Modes.

CONTROL PANEL
The control panel provides a user interface consisting of a membrane panel keyboard, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), external
power present indicator, Power Cartridge capacity indicator, alarm status indicators, and an audio transducer.Theuserinterface
informs the user of the system status and allows the user to set the desired flow rate and flow mode.

Increase or Decrease Setting Buttons:
Use these buttons to change prescribed settings.

Delivery Mode Button and Indicator: The button toggles between Continuous Flow and Pulse Dose
Mode. The Pulse Dose Mode activates autoSAT Technology—as the patient’s breath rate changes, theEclipse servo-controls the unit to provide a consistent bolus size. The Pulse Dose Mode allows a significant
increase in the operating time while powered by the battery. When Pulse Dose Mode is activated, thegreen Delivery Mode Indicator illuminates and a pulse of oxygen is delivered with each inspiratory effort.

CONTINUOUS FLOW MODE
Continuous Flow Mode delivers a constant flow of oxygen to a patient by means of tubing and a nasal cannula at rates
between 0.5 LPM and 3.0 LPM. Within the Eclipse, concentrated oxygen is stored in a 500ml product tank at pressures in therange of 5 to 9 psi. This pressure gives Continuous Flow Mode the capability to deliver the indicated flow rate to the patienteven if extension tubing is used, up to 50 feet long. In addition, the Eclipse Continuous Flow Mode is fully compatible withhumidifier use, with NC not exceeding 7 ft.

PULSE DOSE MODE
The Eclipse Pulse Dose Mode delivers a measured bolus of oxygen at the very beginning of each inspiration. The approachis based on the manner in which gas is absorbed into a patient’s airway. Eclipse users may select pulse dose volume delivery
rates. Regardless of setting, the pulse profile is a simple square‑wave pulse based on a 16 mL volume. (Refer to“Pulse Profiles”
table below). Pulse durations are no less than 100 milli-seconds at the beginning of the inspiration. There are three Rise Timesettings (Slow, Medium, and Fast). The table below is for the FAST Rise Time setting (factory default is Fast).

POWER SUPPLIESThe Eclipse may operate from either the AC or DC Power Supply or the Power Cartridge. When power is available from anexternal supply, the Eclipse will draw from the external source rather than depleting the Power Cartridge. Connection toexternal power is indicated when the External Power Present Indicator located on the Control Panel is illuminated.

AC POWER SUPPLYThe AC Power Supply is a universal input type, capable of accepting 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz. It is capable of delivering up to
200W of 28VDC output. The input cord requires a grounded receptacle. Country specific cords or universal power adapter PN
5591-SEQ may be used with the AC Power Supply, as the power supply is equipped with a universal input receptacle. Whenused in a medical care facility, international safety standards require the use of hospital grade AC power cord with the Eclipse.

Figure 5: Eclipse 3 AC Power Supply

The Eclipse 3 AC Power Supply does not contain a fan. When in use, the AC Power Supply should be located in a well-ventilated
area.
Located near the output cord, there is a green LED that is illuminated when the AC Power Supply is supplying 28VDC power.
If the LED is not illuminated, there is no input power available. In addition, the Power Supply contains protection circuits for
output over-current, input over-voltage, and internal over-temperature conditions. If any of these conditions exist, output
power will be interrupted and the LED turns off. However, these three conditions are self-resetting, such that output power will
resume when protection circuits fall back into acceptable operating ranges.

DC POWER SUPPLYThe DC Power Supply is intended for use with DC accessory outlets, such as those found in motor vehicles. Input voltage to
the DC Power Supply is 11.5-18 VDC. Sized to be compatible with most passenger vehicle electrical systems, it is capable ofdelivering up to 150W of 26VDC output to the Eclipse.

20Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual

Figure 6: Eclipse 3 DC Power Supply

Located near the output cord, there is a green LED that is illuminated when the DC Power Supply is supplying 26VDC power.
If the LED is not illuminated, there is no input power available. The Power Supply contains protection circuits for output overcurrent, input over-voltage, and internal over-temperature conditions. If any of these conditions exist, output power will beinterrupted and the LED will turn off. These three conditions are self-resetting, and output power will resume when protection
circuits fall back into acceptable operating ranges. The power supply will not charge the battery or operate the Eclipse above
2 LPM continuous or 96 mL in pulse dose while operating power on DC.
DO NOT use the DC supply to power the Eclipse once the vehicle’s engine is turned off as this may drain the car’s battery.

POWER CARTRIDGE (BATTERY)The Power Cartridge allows operation away from AC or DC power. The Power Cartridge used with the Eclipse contains Lithium
ion battery cells, similar to those used in laptop computers and cell phones. The Eclipse Power Cartridge contains a quantity of
two 97.5 Watt hour battery packs. Each battery pack contains 7.92 grams of equivalent lithium content.

Figure 7: Eclipse 3 Power Cartridge

The Power Cartridge (Battery) may be charged in two ways: (a) place the Power Cartridge in the Eclipse and connect the Eclipse
to AC power, or (b) place the Power Cartridge in the optional Desktop Charger (PN 7112-SEQ).
Operating and servicing the Power Cartridge will ensure longer life and higher performance. It is important to follow the tips
and recommendations when storing and operating the Eclipse on the Power Cartridge.

21Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual

The Eclipse Power Cartridge operation time may be affected by several factors such as bolus size, breathing rates, ambient
temperature, age of power cartridge and use over time. The table below describes the typical operating time for a new Power
Cartridge.

NOTE: Battery times will decrease with higher bolus size, breath rate, ambient temperature, Battery age and use over time.

The Power Cartridge packaged with the Eclipse is not fully charged. Before using the Eclipse Oxygen System for the first time,
the Power Cartridge must be fully charged.
Store the power cartridge in a cool, dry location. Do not leave the Eclipse or Power Cartridge in a vehicle or trunk during a hotor cold day.
When checking the Eclipse as baggage on a commercial airline flight for international travel, remove the Power Cartridge andproperly package.
When shipping the Eclipse for any reason, remove the Power Cartridge from the Eclipse.
If the Power Cartridge gets too warm, charging will not begin until the Power Cartridge sufficiently cools. Consider removing
the Power Cartridge to allow for faster cooling.
The Power Cartridge operating time is longer if the Eclipse is operated in Pulse Dose Mode. (Refer to Battery Consumption
Chart above.)
The typical time to recharge the Power Cartridge to achieve 80% capacity from a fully discharged Power Cartridge is 1.8 hours
to 5.0 hours, dependent upon the flow setting.
The Power Cartridge will not charge when operating from the DC Power Supply.
The capacity of the Eclipse Power Cartridge is determined by electronics and the Eclipse software.

WARNING:

DO NOT tamper with, disassemble, crush or heat the Power Cartridge
above 140° F (60° C). The Power Cartridge may present a risk of fire or
explosion and will void the warranty.

CAUTIONStore the Power Cartridge in a cool, dry place when not in use.

CAUTIONCAUTION

DO NOT leave the Eclipse or the Power Cartridge in a vehicle or in thetrunk during a hot or cold day.

The Eclipse system can only work with a SeQual Power Cartridge. Useof another Power Cartridge or Battery may damage the unit, present arisk of fire or explosion and will void the warranty.

Figure 8: Power Cartridge Status Gauge

While the Eclipse Power Cartridge allows the concentrator to operate at its full range of capabilities, the primary purpose of
the Power Cartridge is to allow a patient to ambulate while they are moving between stationary power sources. The Eclipse’s
Power Cartridge, like all lithium ion batteries, is susceptible to permanent damage from excessive heat. Exposure to excessive
heat may significantly shorten the service life of the Power Cartridge.
Each Power Cartridge contains multiple temperature sensors to monitor battery cell temperature. The amount of heat thePower Cartridge can safely endure varies depending on how the Power Cartridge is being used. During discharge, the Eclipse
software will alarm when internal battery cell temperature exceeds 60°C, and will shut the system down if internal battery
cell temperature exceeds 70°C. While the Power Cartridge is charging, software will interrupt charger operation when theinternal battery temperature exceeds 45°C or temperature is less than 0°C . In both of these cases, when internal battery celltemperature falls within these limits, the Eclipse will resume normal operation. Operation near these temperature limits will
not damage the Power Cartridge, but are in place to ensure that the service life of the Power Cartridge is preserved.
Heat in the Power Cartridge is generated during discharge, and can also be the result of operating the Eclipse in high ambient
temperatures. The amount of internally generated heat varies with the flow setting – higher flows induce greater Power
Cartridge heating. While high ambient temperatures are typically the result of operation on a hot day, running the Eclipse withinadequate ventilation can also add additional heat. Always ensure that the Eclipse is operated in a well-ventilated space, theair intake filter is clean, and intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.

23

Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual

CHARGING ALGORITHM
The charging algorithm is performed by the Power Manager software and involves three basic decisions:
1.
2.
3.

When to start charging
How fast to charge
When to stop charging

Charging begins when Power Cartridge voltage falls below 16.0 volts.
The charging current is limited by the charger capability and the rated capacity of the Power Cartridge. Under certain
conditions, the Eclipse may not have enough external power available to charge the batteries at the full rate. In this case, thecharging rate will be limited to the available power.
As the Power Cartridge accumulates charge, the charging current required will eventually fall. When the charging current foreach Power Cartridge has fallen below 5% of the rated capacity, charging is complete and the Power Cartridge charger is shutoff.
The software will only charge when the Power Cartridge temperature is at or below 45°C. The software will always run thecooling fan whenever the charger is enabled. The Power Cartridge charger is disabled and the cooling fan is set to maximum
whenever the Power Cartridge temperature exceeds 45°C. The Power Cartridge charger is disabled when temperature is lessthan 0°C.
All lithium ion batteries self-discharge at very low rates when not in use. Eclipse Power Cartridges are shipped from SeQual ina partially charged state (nominally 40%). When stored in a cool, dry location, the Power Cartridge can sit unused for up to 12
months without appreciable self-discharge occurring. Nevertheless, SeQual recommends a first in, first out rotation of Power
Cartridge inventory for maximum Power Cartridge service life.

The display on the Control Panel shows the amount of Power Cartridge capacity available and waterfalls when charging. Point
out the table showing typical new Power Cartridge duration-of-use time in the Users Manual.
WARNING:

The display gives an approximate level of remaining battery power.
If the patient is dependent on oxygen therapy, the users should
always have a backup oxygen supply or access to AC or DC Power
Supply in the event of loss of battery power.

SELECTING THE PROPER FLOW MODE AND SETTING
The recommendations of the qualified clinician responsible for the patient’s care should always be followed when instructing
patients on the use of Continuous or Pulse Dose Mode.
WARNING:

Do not attempt to prescribe oxygen level settings. Warn your patientthat only a qualified clinician or physician is qualified to perform thenecessary tests to prescribe treatment.

SELECTING CONTINUOUS FLOW MODE
When delivered from SeQual, the Eclipse is set to Continuous Flow Mode. Refer your patient to the Users Manual for instructions
on how to select Continuous Flow Mode. Demonstrate the procedure on the device. Set the prescribed flow using the increaseor decrease flow rate buttons
CAUTION• Continuous Flow Mode is required in order to use a humidifier bottle.
• Continuous Flow Mode without a humidifier bottle is required in orderuse 50 foot tubing.

SELECTING PULSE DOSE MODE
Pulse Dose Mode, delivers a measured bolus of oxygen pulse at the beginning of each inspiration. Refer to the Users
Manual for instructions on how to select Pulse Dose Mode. Demonstrate the procedure for your patient. Set the prescribedflow using the increase or decrease buttons. Verify that the patient is able to adequately trigger the oxygen delivery while
speaking, sitting quietly, and walking. If the patient is not able to satisfactorily trigger oxygen delivery, the Pulse Sensitivity
may need to be adjusted.
CAUTION• Do not use a humidifier when in Pulse Dose Mode.
• Use only a 7-foot cannula when in Pulse Dose Mode. Do not use
a tubing extension.

Review with the patient the breath rate capabilities of Pulse Dose Mode for their prescription.
See Table on page 728Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual‘POWER CARTRIDGE (BATTERY) CONSERVATION’ FEATURE
While in Pulse Dose Mode, the Eclipse 3 is always monitoring for breath detection. After 15 seconds of no breath detected, theEclipse 3 “delivers” Continuous Flow at the last Continuous Flow setting. The system and display are still in Pulse Dose Modeand the green Delivery Mode Indicator is blinking fast, indicating you are receiving a Continuous Flow. After 15 seconds, theEclipse 3 stops delivering Continuous Flow and waits 15 seconds for a breath. If a breath is detected, then the Eclipse 3 will goback to Pulse Dose Mode. If a breath is not detected, the Battery Conservation function will continue; 15 seconds Continuous
Flow, 15 seconds Pulse Dose Mode. The Eclipse 3 will stay in this modality until a breath is detected.
This power management feature of the Eclipse 3 greatly conserves the operating life of the battery, extending therapy timeand patient mobility.

ADJUSTING THE PULSE DOSE MODE SENSITIVITY SETTING
The oxygen delivery trigger sensitivity may be adjusted to satisfy patient requirements, by selecting setting 1, 2 or 3 (1=mostsensitive, 3=least sensitive). The default setting for units coming from SeQual is“2”. To adjust the Pulse Sensitivity, perform thefollowing steps:
1. Have the patient sit quietly, with the nasal cannula properly fitted.
2. Put the Eclipse into Pulse Dose Mode at the patient’s prescribed flow setting.
3. Press the “No Smoking” icon until the “PS=” value is displayed.
4. Press the “+” or “-” buttons to raise or lower the sensitivity (1=most sensitive, 3=least sensitive.) 		
		
Raising the sensitivity will require additional inspiratory effort to trigger the oxygen pulse.
		
Lowering the sensitivity will require less inspiratory effort to trigger the oxygen pulse.
		
Too low of a setting may result in false triggering.
5.
		
		

Verify that the patient is able to adequately trigger the oxygen delivery while speaking,sitting quietly, and walking. Steps 1-6 may be repeated until the patient is able toadequately trigger oxygen delivery.

WARNING:NOTE:

As with all conserving devices, the Eclipse may not be able to detectsome respiratory efforts.

The Eclipse requires a minimum of one minute to stabilize after achange. After a setting change, always wait at least one minute before determining if another adjustment is necessary.

1. Ensures the battery cartridge is calibrated
2. Running the Eclipse between uses while in storage allows the user to know if service may be needed prior toneeding the device.

DISCARDING
Power Cartridge Disposal: The Power Cartridge can be recycled and should not be thrown into the trash. Contact
the local city or town offices for instructions on proper disposal of the Power Cartridge. Alternately, Chart SeQual may becontacted for the Power Cartridge disposal.
Eclipse Oxygen System Disposal: Local environmental laws may prohibit disposal of electrical and/ or electronicequipment such as the Eclipse, AC Power Supply or the DC Power Supply. Contact the local city or town offices for instructions
on proper disposal of electrical or electronic equipment. Alternately, Chart SeQual may be contacted for disposal information.
