CAIRE SeQual Eclipse 5 Portable Oxygen Concentrator: A Complete Guide
A dual-mode transportable concentrator built for 24/7 clinical reliance — true continuous flow up to 3.0 LPM, pulse settings 1 through 9, and autoSAT® technology that adapts to changing breathing rates.
Patients who need both nocturnal continuous-flow oxygen and daytime ambulatory pulse dosing often end up with two separate devices — one for sleep, one for mobility. The CAIRE SeQual Eclipse 5 is built to bridge that gap in a single transportable unit.
Delivering true continuous flow from 0.5 to 3.0 LPM alongside pulse-dose settings 1 through 9 (up to a 192 mL bolus), the Eclipse 5 pairs CAIRE's autoSAT® technology — which automatically adjusts compressor performance as breathing rates change — with UltraSense® breath detection, all rated for 24/7/365 clinical reliance.
Engineered by CAIRE Inc.
The Eclipse 5 is manufactured by CAIRE® Inc. (Chart Industries) and is backed by a 3-year concentrator and sieve bed warranty, plus a 1-year battery warranty. As a Class II FDA-regulated medical device, it is available strictly by prescription. This listing covers the standard single-battery configuration (SKU 6900-SEQ) — a 2-battery travel package with an external desktop charger is also available separately for patients needing extended runtime.

CAIRE SeQual Eclipse 5 (SKU 6900-SEQ)
A dual-mode transportable oxygen concentrator delivering true continuous flow from 0.5 to 3.0 LPM and pulse-dose oxygen across settings 1 through 9 (up to a 192 mL bolus). CAIRE's proprietary autoSAT® technology automatically adjusts compressor performance to maintain consistent oxygen delivery as breathing rates fluctuate, while UltraSense® provides high-sensitivity breath detection. Operates on AC, 12V DC vehicle power, or battery, with the ability to charge concurrently at 2.0 LPM continuous or all pulse settings. Ships complete with a telescoping travel cart, accessory bag, and AC/DC adapters. FAA-approved for commercial air travel.

Who Is the Eclipse 5 Typically Prescribed For?
The Eclipse 5 is best suited to patients who need both nocturnal continuous-flow therapy (including PAP sleep integration) and daytime ambulatory pulse dosing in a single transportable device, reducing overall fleet diversity for facilities managing mixed patient needs. As with any transportable device, the appropriate delivery mode and setting should be determined by your physician based on your specific prescription.
The Eclipse 5 is also available as a 2 Battery Package with an external desktop charger for patients or facilities needing extended runtime and independent battery charging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between continuous flow and pulse dose delivery on the Eclipse 5?
Continuous flow delivers an uninterrupted stream of medical oxygen measured in Liters Per Minute (0.5–3.0 LPM), required for sleep therapy or high-acuity needs. Pulse dose delivers breath-actuated oxygen boluses synchronized with inspiratory triggering (Settings 1–9) to preserve battery power during ambulation.
How does CAIRE’s autoSAT® technology support fluctuating patient respiratory rates?
autoSAT® functions as an automated throttle control. As a patient’s breathing rate increases during activity or ambulation, autoSAT® automatically adjusts compressor cycle timing to ensure the full prescribed oxygen bolus is delivered without drop-offs.
What prescription documentation is required prior to order dispatch?
Per FDA Class II medical device regulations, orders for the CAIRE SeQual Eclipse 5 require a valid prescription or medical license specifying continuous or pulse-dose oxygen settings prior to compliance verification and shipment release.
