Connect the Eclipse to the AC Power Supply, DC Power Supply or optional Desk Top Charger accessory
to recharge the Power Cartridge.
The fastest way to recharge the Power Cartridge is from the AC Power Supply. The Eclipse unit may not
charge the Power Cartridge when operated from the DC Power Supply under some conditions.
Operating and caring for 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.
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.
If the Eclipse is used in Pulse Flow mode then there will be longer operating time. Consult your
physician for a prescription for pulse flow mode.
