IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR HAZARDS
THAT MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions are shown
Under the Following Headings:
NOTE: SeQual®Technologies Inc. (SeQual) recommends that this Users Manual be
given to each user receiving an Eclipse Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System. This Users
Manual provides all of the necessary information needed for a user, or caregiver, to
successfully operate the Eclipse.
DO NOT: Information needing special attention.
Refer to this section for an explanation of the symbols and the Warnings that accompany them.
Important! Clarifying information, specific instructions, or user reference information.
“Read Instructions”: Please consult the Users Manual instructions
provided with the product.
“Attention or Caution”: Indicates important information that requires
the user to take special precautions when certain conditions are present.
“Use No Oils or Grease”: Indicates important information about the pos-
sibility of spontaneous and violent ignition that may occur if oils, grease
or other petroleum based substances come into contact with oxygen
under pressure.
“No Smoking or Open Flames”: The use of oxygen requires that special
care be taken to reduce the risk of fire. Materials that burn in air, and
even some materials that will not burn in air, are easily ignited and burn
more rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, all
possible sources of ignition must be kept away from the Eclipse and pref-
erably out of the room in which it is being used. Smoking in the proxim-
ity of an operating Eclipse is dangerous, and can permanently damage
the device and void the warranty.

AGE TO THE ECLIPSE.
