2.3 Description and Method of Exercising the UUT. 

The Eclipse 4000 is an Oxygen Concentrator system which is portable used to extract oxygen from the 

atmosphere, concentrate it to greater than 90% and present it to the patient. The device will operate in 

Continuous Flow or Pulse Dose Modes. 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 of 16mLto 192mL. 

The Eclipse 4000 operates from either external power or from an internal rechargeable battery. The system 

includes a “Smart Battery” charger that recharges the internal battery whenever the Eclipse is connected to 

external power. The system monitors and controls the power source and the battery charger. 

The Eclipse 4000 separates oxygen from ambient air. The air is filtered and then separated into oxygen and 

nitrogen, the nitrogen is then purged. This cycle concentrates the oxygen. 

The EUT was exercised by settings to operate in Continuous Flow at a rate of 3.0LPM. If testing induces a 

mode change or the EUT indicates reduced flow rate or stops it may be considered a failure. 

The EUT’s performance during test was evaluated against the performance criterion specified by applicable 

test standards. Performance results are detailed in the test results section of this report.

3 TEST SITE INFORMATION

The test site is located at: 

NEMKO USA, Inc. 

11696 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite F 

San Diego, CA 92121 

NEMKO USA is NVLAP certified. The NVLAP Certification is included in Appendix C of this document. The site is 

physically located 18 miles northwest of downtown San Diego. The general area is a valley 1.5 miles east of the 

Pacific Ocean. The EMI testing was under the guidance of National Association of Radio and Telecommunication 

Engineers (NARTE) personnel. 

3.1 Ground Plane 

The emissions and susceptibility portions of the testing was performed on a ground plane. The ground plane consisted 

of a 8’ x 3’ x 1/8” thick copper plate mounted on a wooden bench and is connected to the ground rod via a copper bus 

bar 2’ wide and 0.25" thick. The DC bonding resistance between the ground plane and ground was less than 2.5mΩ. 

The Unit Under Test (UUT) and Line Isolation Stabilization Network (LISN) were bonded to the ground plane. 

3.2 Anechoic Chamber 

The radiated and conducted emissions tests were conducted inside a semi anechoic chamber which measures 20' x 12' x 

10'. Carbon-loaded cones provide RF dissipation. Radiated susceptibility tests were conducted inside a semi anechoic 

chamber which measures 20' x 12' x 10’. Power capability of the chamber includes 50 amps at 100VDC, 30 amps per 

phase of 120 VAC at 400 Hz, and 50 amps of up to 250 VAC at up to 60 Hz. 

3.3 Detection System 

The automated detection system used in emission testing consists of a spectrum analyzer controlled by a computer. 

Preamplifiers used where necessary and where they are used an appropriate notation is made in the relevant section of 

the report. Commercially available EMI measurement software Total Integrated Laboratory Environment (TILE) was 

used in the performance of these measurements. In this software package, the bandwidths and measurement times are 

user-selectable, and the bandwidths and sweep times were per the requirements RTCA, Inc. DO-160F.

3.4 Test Equipment 

NEMKO USA, Inc. operates a comprehensive Periodic Calibration Program in order to ensure the validity of all test 

data. NEMKO USA’s Periodic Calibration Program is fully compliant to the requirements of NVLAP ISO Standard 

17025. NEMKO USA, Inc.’s calibration program therefore meets or exceeds the US national commercial and military 

requirements [N.B. ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 which replaced MIL-STD-45662A].. Specifically, all of NEMKO 

USA’s primary reference standard devices (e.g. vector voltmeters, multimeters, attenuators and terminations, RF power 

meters and their detector heads, oscilloscope mainframes and plug-ins, spectrum analyzers, RF preselectors, quasi-peak 

adapters, interference analyzers, impulse generators, signal generators and pulse/function generators, field-strength 

meters and their detector heads, etc.) and certain secondary standard devices are periodically recalibrated by: 

• A NEMKO USA-approved independent (third party) metrology laboratory that uses NIST-traceable standards and 

that is ISO Standard 17025-accredited as a calibration laboratories by NIST; or, 

• A NEMKO USA-approved independent (third party) metrology laboratory that uses NIST-traceable standards and 

that is ISO Standard 17025-accredited as a calibration laboratory by another accreditation body (such as A2LA) 

that is mutually recognized by NIST; or, 

• A manufacturer of Measurement and Test Equipment (M&TE), if the manufacturer uses NIST-traceable standards 

and is ISO Standard 17025-accredited as calibration laboratory either by NIST or by another accreditation body 

(such as A2LA) that is mutually recognized by NIST; or 

• A manufacturer of M&TE (or by a NEMKO USA-approved independent third party metrology laboratory) that is 

not ISO Standard 17025-accredited. (In these cases, NEMKO USA conducts an annual audit of the manufacturer 

or metrology laboratory for the purposes of proving traceability to NIST, ensuring that adequate and repeatable 

calibration procedures are being applied, and verifying conformity with the other requirements of ISO Standard 

17025). 

In all cases, the entity performing the Calibration is required to furnish NEMKO USA with a calibration test report 

and/or certificate of calibration, and a “calibration sticker” on each item of M&TE that is successfully calibrated. 

Calibration intervals are normally one year, except when the manufacture advises a shorter interval or if US 

Government directives or client requirements demand a shorter interval. Items of instrumentation/related equipment 

which fail during routine use, or which suffer visible mechanical damage (during use or while in transit), are sidelined 

pending repair and recalibration. (Repairs are carried out either in-house [if minor] or by a NEMKO USA-approved 

independent [third party] metrology laboratory, or by the manufacturer of the item of M&TE). 

Each antenna used for radiated emissions testing is calibrated annually by either a NIST (or A2LA) ISO Standard 

17025-Accredited third-party Antenna Calibration Laboratory or by the antenna’s OEM if the OEM is NIST or A2LA 

ISO Standard 17025-accredited as an antenna calibration laboratory. 

Note: The reason NCR (no cal required) equipment is used in a test set up and still supports the test is that other 

calibrated equipment is used in a calibration test set up before running the official test.

APPENDIX A. Nemko USA, Inc. Test Equipment & Facilities Calibration Program 

Nemko USA, Inc. operates a comprehensive Periodic Calibration Program in order to ensure the validity of all test data. 

Nemko USA’s Periodic Calibration Program is fully compliant to the requirements of NVLAP Policy Guide PG-1-

1988, ANSI/NCSL Z540.3: 2006, ISO 10012:2003, ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and ISO-9000: 2000. Nemko USA, Inc.’s 

calibrations program therefore meets or exceeds the US national commercial and military requirements [N.B. 

ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 replaced MIL-STD-45662A]. 

Specifically, all of Nemko USA’s primary reference standard devices (e.g. vector voltmeters, multimeters, attenuators 

and terminations, RF power meters and their detector heads, oscilloscope mainframes and plug-ins, spectrum analyzers, 

RF preselectors, quasi-peak adapters, interference analyzers, impulse generators, signal generators and pulse/function 

generators, field-strength meters and their detector heads, etc.) and certain secondary standard devices (e.g. RF 

Preamplifiers used in CISPR 11/22 and FCC Part 15/18 tests) are periodically recalibrated by: 

o A Nemko USA-approved independent (third party) metrology laboratory that uses NIST-traceable 

standards and that is ISO Guide 25-accredited as a calibration laboratories by NIST; or, 

o A Nemko USA-approved independent (third party) metrology laboratory that uses NIST-traceable 

standards and that is ISO Guide 25-accredited as a calibration laboratory by another accreditation body 

(such as A2LA) that is mutually recognized by NIST; or, 

o A manufacturer of Measurement and Test Equipment (M&TE), if the manufacturer uses NIST-traceable 

standards and is ISO Guide 25-accredited as calibration laboratory either by NIST or by another 

accreditation body (such as A2LA) that is mutually recognized by NIST; or 

o A manufacturer of M&TE (or by a Nemko USA-approved independent third party metrology laboratory) 

that is not ISO Guide 25-accredited. (In these cases, Nemko USA conducts an annual audit of the 

manufacturer or metrology laboratory for the purposes of proving traceability to NIST, ensuring that 

adequate and repeatable calibration procedures are being applied, and verifying conformity with the other 

requirements of ISO Guide 25).

In all cases, the entity performing the Calibration is required to furnish Nemko USA with a calibration test report and/or 

certificate of calibration, and a “calibration sticker” on each item of M&TE that is successfully calibrated. 

Calibration intervals are normally one year, except when the manufacture advises a shorter interval or if US 

Government directives or client requirements demand a shorter interval. Items of instrumentation/related equipment 

which fail during routine use, or which suffer visible mechanical damage (during use or while in transit), are sidelined 

pending repair and recalibration. (Repairs are carried out either in-house [if minor] or by a Nemko USA-approved 

independent [third party] metrology laboratory, or by the manufacturer of the item of M&TE). 

Each antenna used for CISPR 11 and CISPR 22 and FCC Part 15 and Part 18 radiated emissions testing (and for testing 

to the equivalent European Norms) is calibrated annually by either a NIST (or A2LA) ISO Standard 17025-Accredited 

third-party Antenna Calibration Laboratory or by the antenna’s OEM if the OEM is NIST or A2LA ISO Standard 

17025-accredited as an antenna calibration laboratory. The antenna calibrations are performed using the methods 

specified in Annex G.5 of CISPR 16-1(2003) or ANSI C63.5-2004, including the “Three-Antenna Method”. Certain 

other kinds of antennas (e.g. magnetic-shielded loop antennas) are calibrated annually by either a NIST (or A2LA) ISO 

Standard 17025-accredited third-party antenna calibration laboratory, or by the antenna’s OEM if the OEM is NIST or 

A2LA ISO Standard 17025-accredited as an antenna calibration laboratory using the procedures specified in the latest 

version of SAE ARP-958. 

In accordance with FCC and other regulations, Nemko USA recalibrates its suite of antennas used for radiated 

emissions tests on an annual basis. These calibrations are performed as a precursor to the FCC-required annual 

revalidation of the Normalized Site Attenuation properties of Nemko USA’s Open Area Test Site. Nemko USA, Inc. 

uses the procedures given in both Sub clause 16.6 and Annex G.2 of CISPR 16-1 (2003), and, ANSI C63.4-2003 when 

performing the normalized site attenuation measurements.
