Troubleshooting Guide

5. No Inspiration Detected (In Pulse Mode Only)

Eclipse 2 has: BEEPED ONCE, has a GREEN & YELLOW STEADY LED and the unit IS

running.

A. Is the patient breathing through their Nose?

B. If NO, Switch to Nasal Breathing

C. If YES, Is Eclipse in Pulse mode

? (Does the Flow Mode Button have a green LED illuminated

next to it?)

D. If NO, then switch to Pulse Mode.

E. If YES, Is there a humidifier bottle

attached to the unit

F. If YES, Remove the humidifier bottle. Pulse Mode will not work correctly with a humidified bottle

attached to the breathing circuit.

G. If NO, Is the Nasal Cannula

greater than 7ft?

H. If YES, Then switch the Nasal Cannula to one that is 7ft or less.

I. If NO, Has the clinician adjusted or instructed you on adjusting pulsing sensitivity

J. If YES, there may not be enough inspiratory effort

to trigger the pulse system. A qualified person

needs to test the pulse sensitivity.

i. If the steps above have been taken and the Eclipse is still not functioning correctly.

Exchange out the unit for evaluation and possible repair.
