How to Maintain the Eclipse
Training your patient to maintain the Eclipse properly will lead to longer service intervals and lower
maintenance costs. Train your patient to perform the following procedures:
Clean the Air Inlet Filter
The air inlet filter, located at the rear of the unit, must be cleaned at least once a week. To clean the filter:
1. Remove the filter from the back of the cabinet.
2. Wash the filter in warm water using a mild detergent solution.
3. Rinse the filter thoroughly and squeeze out the excess water.
4. Allow the filter to air dry thoroughly.
5. Re-insert the filter in the cabinet.
Figure 10: Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter
CAUTION:
• The filter should be completely dry before using it again. Excess
moisture may impair proper operation or damage the unit.
• Replace the Air Inlet Filter as needed. If the Eclipse is operated in a
dusty environment, the filter may need to be cleaned or replaced
more often. Do not operate the Eclipse for more than 30 minutes
without a filter installed.
Clean and Care for the Tubing and Cannula
Provide your patient instructions on cleaning, disinfection and/or replacement information for the tubing
and cannula.
Clean the Cabinet and Control Panel and Power Supplies
To clean the cabinet, control panel or power supply do the following:
1. Turn OFF the Eclipse and disconnect from AC or DC power before any cleaning or disinfection
activity.
2. Use mild detergent and water solution.
