AeroEclipse* II Breath Actuated Nebulizer
What is the aeroeclipse* ii Breath Actuated Nebulizer?
The AeroEclipse* II nebulizer is a medical device for use by patients who are under the care of a licensed medical practitioner. It is designed to convert liquid medication intended for use with a nebulizer and prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner into an aerosol mist that can be inhaled directly into the lungs. The AeroEclipse* II nebulizer is connected by flexible tubing to an air source.
The AeroEclipse* II Breath Actuated Nebulizer is a significant advancement in small volume nebulizers because it only creates aerosol in response to inhalation. Since aerosol is only produced during inhalation, there is less wasted medication and greater dosing consistency, both of which may result in better outcomes for you.

How does Breath Actuation Differ from 'Continuous' Nebulization?The AeroEclipse* II nebulizer is an innovative device that produces aerosol only when you breathe in. Most other nebulizers continuously produce aerosol regardless of whether you are inhaling, exhaling or resting. As a result, a large portion of the prescribed medication in a continuous nebulizer is released to the environment and is not inhaled. In many cases this can be an environmental hazard and can compromise the health of others in the immediate surroundings.
Unlike continuous mode nebulizers, with the AeroEclipse* II nebulizer virtually no drug is lost to the environment. Less medication is wasted when compared to conventional methods of inhalation therapy because medication is only produced when you are inhaling, so you control the aerosol treatment. This provides environmental protection for you and your caregivers by significantly reducing the levels of secondary aerosolized drug that can be seen with uncontrolled continuous nebulization.
The green feedback button on the top of the device, will move down when you inhale, providing visual confirmation that proper breathing technique is being used and aerosol is being produced. Although this is not difficult for most people, if you are unable to activate the button you may need to use the device in continuous mode for that treatment.

How can the AeroEclipse* II nebulizer Change Your Treatments?The AeroEclipse* II nebulizer allows your healthcare provider many treatment options that may include fewer or shorter treatment times, less medication put in your nebulizer, or running the AeroEclipse* II nebulizer continuously. The result is better care that allows you to take your treatment as prescribed.

How to Use the AeroEclipse* II Nebulizer
Each device is pre-set to Breath Actuated Mode which will only produce aerosol during inhalation. The device can also be used in Continuous Mode – by rotating the Mode Switch 90° clockwise – which will produce constant aerosol.
Filling the NebulizerGently unscrew and remove the nebulizer top by rotating counter clockwise. Carefully place prescribed medication into the nebulizer cup. Reattach the nebulizer top, making sure to line up the white cylinder (1c) with the stem of the nebulizer cup (2b) and gently hand tighten clockwise.
With the nebulizer top secured, firmly attach one end of the supplied oxygen tubing to the bottom of the nebulizer and the other end to an air source - ensuring both ends are securely engaged.
Using the NebulizerPlace mouthpiece in the mouth, making sure the lips do not to cover the Exhalation Valve (3a) on the bottom. Inhale slowly and deeply. During inhalation, the Green Feedback Button (1a) will move down, indicating that the AeroEclipse* II nebulizer is producing aerosol in response to inhalation. Between breaths or during exhalation, the Green Feedback Button will return to the ‘up’ position indicating no aerosol is being produced.
Continue breathing normally through the device. Exhaled air is directed out of the device through the Exhalation Valve on the bottom of the device. Detailed use instructions can be downloaded below.
Cleaning the NebulizerThe AeroEclipse* II nebulizer should be washed before first use, and then between each treatment. To wash, simply remove the nebulizer top by rotating counter clockwise and remove any tubing that may have been attached. Wash the nebulizer parts in warm soapy water, and rinse in clean, warm water. Allow parts to dry thoroughly before reassembling the device.

Healthcare Professionals
How Does AeroEclipse* II BAN work?
Aerosol is only created in response to the patient’s inspiratory maneuver.
Aerosol is only created in response to the patient’s inspiratory maneuver.
- Patient inhales
- Negative pressure in the nebulizer pulls the diaphragm down
- The actuator has moved down sealing around the nozzle cover
- Aerosol is produced
True Breath Actuated Performance
The AeroEclipse* II Breath Actuated Nebulizer (BAN) is a significant advancement in the technology of small volume nebulization by generating aerosol only in response to the patient's inspiratory flow.
Unlike continuous-mode nebulizers, AeroEclipse* II BAN ensures virtually no drug is lost to the environment. Less medication is wasted when compared to conventional methods of inhalation therapy because the patient’s inspiratory breath is controlling the aerosol treatment. This can provide for better compliance and a safer patient environment, and has the potential to impact clinical outcomes such as Length of Stay and Admission Rates through the ER.1
The AeroEclipse* II BAN is designed to generate a high percentage of respirable medication particles. Shortened delivery time and optimized aerosol particle size significantly improves the likelihood of better patient outcomes and reduced costs.
