User Care and Cleaning of the Device
Cannula Replacement
Replace your supply tubing and cannula on a regular basis as
recommended by your home care provider. Your physician or
home care provider will provide you with cleaning, disinfection
and replacement information.
Note: Always follow the cannula manufacturer's instructions for proper
use. Replace the disposable cannula as recommended by the cannula
manufacturer or your Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are avail-
able from your Equipment Provider.
Air Inlet Filter
Ambient air is drawn into the device through the air inlet located
on the top rear of the device. Cleaning the air inlet filter is the
most important maintenance activity you will perform as a user.
Cleaning the air inlet filter will keep your Eclipse performing
properly. Check this air inlet filter daily and clean it at least once
a week using the following procedure:
1. Remove the air inlet
filter
2. Wash the filter in
warm tap water using
a mild soap detergent
solution
3. Rinse the filter
thoroughly with clear
tap water and squeeze
out the excess water
4. Allow the filter to air
dry
5. Reinsert the filter in
the cabinet
Cleaning tip: Keep a clean second filter as a replacement for use
when one filter is drying.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Oxygen Concentrator with-
out the air intake filter in place. If a second filter is pro-
vided, insert the "replacement" filter before you clean the
dirty filter. Clean the dirty filter in a warm soap and water solution
then dry thoroughly prior to use.
Note: The Manufacturer does not recommend the sterilization of this
equipment.
Note: Do not operate the Oxygen Concentrator without the air intake
filter in place. If a second filter is provided, insert the "replacement" filter
before you clean the dirty filter. Clean the dirty filter in a warm soap and
water solution then dry thoroughly prior to use.
The air inlet filter should be replaced annually. If the Eclipse is
used in a dusty environment, the filter may need to be replaced
more frequently. You should not operate the Eclipse without an
air inlet filter installed for more than 5 minutes.
