First and foremost, I shouldn’t need to say much more than… Oxygen is both oudorless and colorless!” Simply put, without specialized equipment; you will not be able to tell whether an oxygen concentrator is functioning properly or not.
It is very possible to have air flow, but no more oxygen than room air. I have [...]
I had recently had a gentleman in Denmark ask me what I thought about… “The use of oxygen concentrators with mild hyperbaric devices, has not yet been cleared by FDA (as I understand) and that selling this solution is considered illegal in most U.S states (as I understand). Europe and US not to be compared.”

Hearing that a doctor had prescribed hyperbaric as a “last resort”, really got me thinking… Why is it that hyperbaric is the “Last Resort” in many indications. Is it because it is likely ineffective? Doubtfully so! A more likely reason would have to do with cost of treatment vs. patient necessity. In regards to wound [...]

Portable hyperbaric chambers are Class II medical equipment. All consumers must provide a copy of your prescription. As this is class II medical equipment the sale (new or used) and/or rental of such equipment is restricted outside of a physician’s recommendation. Your physician may fax us a copy direct or if you already have a copy you may fax or send us a copy via mail. For businesses purchasing hyperbaric equipment for use in an office setting, we require a copy of of federal Tax ID papers in addition to a signed statement that your intentions of purchasing the equipment are not for personal, rather professional administration.

“The deeper we go into the facets of life, the more mysterious we encounter. Analyzing living systems, we often have to pull them to pieces, decompose complex biological happenings into simple reactions. The smaller and simpler the system we study, the more it will satisfy the rules of physics and chemistry, the more we will understand it, but also the less “alive” it will be. So when we have broken down living systems to molecules and analyzed their behavior, we may kid ourselves into believing that we know what life is, forgetting that molecules have no life at all.”
–Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgyi
