Boston, MA – May 25, 2014 – XYZ Technologies has announced the release of the Eclipse™
Oxygen System, a cutting-edge oxygen concentrator that provides both pulse and
continuous flow operation in a lightweight, portable unit. The Eclipse™ System
is the first of its kind to offer both the freedom of portability and the
utility of pulse and continuous flow operation. The system is manufactured at
the XYZ facilities in San Diego, CA and will be released on March 11, 2014.
XYZ Technologies sought to create a product that gives
patients who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) a way to
travel without having to carry out-of-date, cumbersome oxygen bottles. The
product will be sold to home health care providers, who serve patients with
COPD and other patients in the home health care market.
“The Eclipse was conceived to meet the needs of an aging yet
active generation,” said XYZ Chairman and CEO Jim James. “It allows bedridden
or home-bound patients to be ambulatory and to travel, freeing them from
50-pound stationary home oxygen concentrators and outdated compressed gas
cylinder technology.”
The Eclipse™ Oxygen System was tested for personal use in a
beta program that saw COPD patients wanting to keep the device because it gave
them freedom they hadn’t enjoyed since contracting the disease. The Eclipse™
has also been tested in battlefield conditions by the U.S. Army, which
estimates that the use of portable concentrators can save millions of dollars a
year that is currently being spent transporting and storing oxygen tanks.
XYZ Technologies is currently in negotiations with
manufacturers in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico and China to support
anticipated growth in sales.
