• The Eclipse out performs closest competitor 3 to 1
  
• Highest oxygen production capabilities of any POC
  
• The Eclipse is able to generate 3000 ml of 90% ± 3% Oxygen per Minute, which makes it one of the higher Oxygen producing units on the market

• The maximum recorded dose at various respiratory rates of any POC on the market
  
• Consistent oxygen dose volumes at increased respiratory rates

• The highest recorded FiO2% of all POCs
  
• This drop in FiO2 may have negative impact on patient oxygenation

Recommending a POC that has the features the patient wants, yet does not oxygenate the patient, is not providing the clinical services the Respiratory Therapist should be providing and adds to the complications and costs that are currently burdening the health care system.
