Key Features of SeQual Eclipse 5 Portable Oxygen Concentrator
The Caire SeQual Eclipse 5 features continuous flow settings from 0.5 LPM to 3.0 LPM and 9 pulse flow settings from 16mL to 192mL. And with the Caire’s autoSAT® Technology, the prescribed amount of oxygen is guaranteed with each breath.
Benefits of using SeQual Eclipse 5 Portable O2 Concentrator
The autoSAT® technology is especially helpful for detecting differences in your breathing. No adjustment is necessary, as the autoSAT® automatically controls the amount of oxygen you receive. If the unit does not detect a breath in pulse dose mode, the autoSAT® technology will switch the Eclipse 5 into continuous flow mode until a breath is detected. The Eclipse 5 concentrator also provides an average oxygen purity of 90 percent.
