Pulse dose settings are offered on a scale from 1- 9, with Setting 1 delivering 16mL of oxygen per pulse and Setting 9 delivering 192mL of oxygen per pulse. Both settings ensure that users can get the most out of the Eclipse 5 portable concentrator no matter what their prescription needs are.

Caire SeQual Eclipse 5 - AutoSAT Technology

The AutoSAT technology offered by SeQual Eclipse 5 monitors the breathing of the user and offers incremental therapy if inhalation is not identified. If the device does not sense an inspiratory effort when in pulse dose mode, a steady flow of oxygen would be administered while it tries to scan for a breath every 15 seconds. Additionally, AutoSAT technology adapts to the user’s breath rate and increases or decreases oxygen production as needed.

FAQs

What Is The Proper Placement Of The Caire Sequal Eclipse 5?

Select a place for the unit that prevents smoke, fumes, and contaminants from entering the device. The right positioning of the unit should allow air intake at the top rear of the cabinet via the air inlet filter and allow exhaust air to escape the exhaust vent at the bottom left of the device freely. Place the system in such a way that you can hear any alarm warnings. Place the tubing of the oxygen so that it does not kink or get tangled.
