The CAIRE Eclipse 5 is a high-flow, portable oxygen concentrator designed for active individuals who need more than just minimal oxygen support. It is known for its durability, high oxygen output, and true continuous flow capability, setting it apart from many smaller POCs.
High-Flow Oxygen Delivery:
Pulse Dose (Settings): 1-6 in 1/2 step increments.
Continuous Flow: True Continuous Flow up to 3.0 LPM. This is a critical feature for users who do not effectively trigger pulse-dose devices during sleep or at rest. The device can deliver both pulse and continuous flow simultaneously.
Oxygen Purity:
Pulse Dose: Maintains a high purity level (typically ≥90%) across all settings.
Continuous Flow: Delivers a consistent FiO2 (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) appropriate for the flow rate, similar to a stationary concentrator.
Intelligent Delivery Technology:
CAIRE Sensi-Pulse® Technology: This is a key differentiator. It automatically adjusts the pulse bolus size and timing based on the user's breathing rate and patterns. This ensures more oxygen is delivered during inhalation, improving efficiency and comfort, especially during physical activity.
Battery Power & Flexibility:
Standard Battery: A high-capacity, hot-swappable lithium-ion battery.
Battery Life: Varies significantly based on mode:
Pulse Dose: Typically 2.5 - 5 hours on a single charge (depending on setting).
Continuous Flow: Approximately 1.5 - 2 hours at 3 LPM. (Note: Continuous flow consumes battery much faster).
External Power: Can be used with AC power (wall outlet) or DC power (car/vehicle adapter). It can also charge the battery while operating.
Portability & Design:
Weight: Approximately 12.5 lbs (5.7 kg) without the battery; ~18 lbs (8.2 kg) with battery.
Mobility: Comes with a built-in cart and telescoping handle, making it easy to pull like wheeled luggage. It can also be carried with a handle.
Oxygen Delivery Options: Includes a standard nasal cannula and an OxyMask™ for higher concentration delivery, especially useful in continuous flow mode.
True High-Flow Capability: The ability to deliver up to 3 LPM on continuous flow makes it suitable for a wider range of patients, including those who are less active or need reliable oxygen during sleep.
Activity-Friendly: The Sensi-Pulse technology ensures efficient oxygen delivery even when breathing patterns change during walking, climbing stairs, or talking.
Extended Mobility: The wheeled design and hot-swappable batteries allow users to leave their home for extended periods, including travel, with proper battery planning.
All-in-One Solution: Can potentially replace both a stationary concentrator for use around the house and serve as the primary portable unit for outings, reducing the need for multiple devices.
