Carrying all this stuff severely limited the musical equipment and passenger space I could carry in my vehicle plus I can’t fly.

In between I used portable cylinders with 6LPM on demand pulse flow. I did fine with my home concentrator set a 4LPM at the gigs and in the hotel. I think the 192ML pulse settings would likely work for higher LPM requirements such as walking or playing a couple of shows (as I did last year) at 7,000 ft. During sleep I only need 2LPM continuous flow or 3LPM continuous while seated or driving. My prescription is 4LPM, however I believe the Sequel 5 may just do the trick for me. I need a portable for travel both driving and flying. At this point in my life I’m still playing shows. Dedicated musicians will usually play until they drop. I am a professional guitarist/singer with Stage IV COPD(emphysema). Of course, I’ll keep you updated as I learn further developments. However, you can expect a heftier price tag – $600-$900 more than the selling price of the Eclipse.Ĭaire is expected to unveil the new SeQual eQuinox at the Spring Medtrade Show in early March 2014. Compared to the SeQual Eclipse, the eQuinox will be about 4 inches shorter and about 4 pounds lighter. If you are interested in the SeQual eQuinox and trying to decide if it is worth the wait, the most significant benefit is the reduced size. The eQuinox will also have a hide-a-way swivel handle. This function may also be put in silent mode. The new eQuinox will have an audible display, which will read flow settings and battery levels in a choice of twelve languages. There will also be a smaller battery option that will reduce the weight to around 12 pounds, but will have a shorter battery duration.Ī new feature to be included in the SeQual eQuinox may prove beneficial for the visually impaired. The battery duration will also remain the same, with the added benefit of being front-loaded for easier changing. It will continue to provide continuous flow up to 3 LPM as well as the current pulse settings of 1-6 and extended settings up to 192 mL. The eQuinox concentrator will not sacrifice function. Weighing about 14 pounds, the eQuinox portable concentrator will become the lightest oxygen concentrator to provide up to 3 liters per minute continuous flow oxygen. The SeQual eQuinox is expected to be 33% smaller and 23% lighter. It has been seven years since SeQual first introduced the Eclipse, and while the Eclipse has been improved numerous times over the years, with the release of three new model numbers, there has never been an attempt to improve the size and weight. Caire Medical, the maker of the powerhouse portable concentrator, the SeQual Eclipse 5, will soon be introducing a new product–the SeQual eQuinox.
