The Eclipse Power Cartridge operation time may be aected 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.
If the Eclipse is used in Pulse Dose Mode, there will be longer operating time. The patient should consult their physician for a
prescription for Pulse Dose Mode.

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 rst 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 hot
or cold day.
When checking the Eclipse as baggage on a commercial airline ight for international travel, remove the Power Cartridge and
properly 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 suciently 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 ow 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.
