SeQual Technologies Eclipse 2 - Adjusting the Pulse Mode Sensitivity Setting; Connecting the AC Power Supply

33
Adjusting the Pulse Mode Sensitivity Setting
The oxygen delivery trigger sensitivity may be adjusted to satisfy patient requirements. The default
setting for units coming from SeQual is “3”. To adjust the trigger sensitivity, perform the following steps:
1. Have the patient sit quietly, with the nasal cannula properly fitted.
2. Put the Eclipse into Pulse Mode at the patients prescribed flow setting.
3. Press the “No Smoking” icon until the “PS=” value is displayed.
4. Press the “+” button to raise the sensitivity. Raising the sensitivity will require additional
inspiratory effort to trigger the oxygen pulse.
5. Press the “-” button to lower the sensitivity. Lowering the sensitivity will require less
inspiratory effort to trigger the oxygen pulse. Too low of a setting may result in false
triggering.
6. Verify that the patient is able to adequately trigger the oxygen delivery while speaking, sitting
quietly, and walking. Steps 1-6 may be repeated until the patient is able to adequately trigger
oxygen delivery.
WARNING:
As with all conserving devices, the Eclipse may not be able to detect
some respiratory efforts.
NOTE:
The Eclipse algorithms require a minimum of one minute to stabilize
after a change. After a setting change, always wait at least one minute
before determining if another adjustment is necessary.
Connecting the AC Power Supply
The Eclipse operates from external power when connected to a power outlet.
To connect the Eclipse to the AC Power Supply, follow these steps:
1. Insert the AC supply plug tip into the Eclipse.
2. Insert the power cord into the AC Power Supply.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
4. The LED displays green to indicate that the AC Power Supply is drawing power. The External
Power Present Indicator on the control panel illuminates. The fan inside the supply will run
periodically.
NOTE:
If the Power Supply Status LED displays red after inserting the plug
into a grounded outlet, check to make sure the Power Supply and
power cords are securely plugged into the Eclipse.
