How Oxygen Is Delivered in a Hyperbaric Chamber
In an OxyEdge mild hyperbaric chamber, oxygen is delivered by a medical-grade oxygen concentrator that supplies supplemental oxygen through a mask or open-flow system while the chamber itself is pressurized with ambient air. This approach keeps the chamber atmosphere at normal oxygen levels for fire safety while the user breathes concentrated oxygen. OxyEdge Booster Technology supports oxygen delivery on many models.
Key Facts
- An oxygen concentrator produces the supplemental oxygen supply.
- Oxygen reaches the user through a mask or open-flow system.
- The chamber is pressurized with ambient air, not pure oxygen.
- Keeping chamber air at normal oxygen levels supports fire safety.
- OxyEdge Booster Technology supports delivery on many models.
- Concentrator flow rates range from about 10 to 20 liters per minute across OxyEdge models.
How is oxygen supplied inside the chamber?
A medical-grade oxygen concentrator draws in ambient air and separates out concentrated oxygen. That oxygen is then delivered to the user during the session.
The user breathes the supplemental oxygen through a mask or an open-flow delivery system while inside the pressurized chamber.
Why is the chamber pressurized with air, not pure oxygen?
OxyEdge mild hyperbaric chambers are pressurized with ambient air while the user breathes supplemental oxygen. This keeps the overall chamber atmosphere near normal oxygen levels.
Maintaining a normal-oxygen chamber atmosphere is an important fire-safety measure, since oxygen-enriched environments increase fire risk.
What flow rates do OxyEdge chambers use?
OxyEdge models use concentrators with different flow rates depending on the design. The table below shows representative examples.
What is OxyEdge Booster Technology?
OxyEdge Booster Technology is an oxygen delivery feature integrated into many OxyEdge chambers to support consistent oxygen supply during a session.
It works together with the concentrator and the chamber control system to maintain reliable delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the whole chamber fill with pure oxygen?
No. OxyEdge chambers are pressurized with ambient air while the user breathes supplemental oxygen through a mask or open-flow system. This keeps chamber oxygen near normal levels for fire safety.
Where does the oxygen come from?
A medical-grade oxygen concentrator produces the supplemental oxygen by separating oxygen from ambient air.
What flow rates do OxyEdge chambers use?
OxyEdge concentrators range from about 10 to 20 liters per minute depending on the model.
What is OxyEdge Booster Technology?
It is an integrated oxygen delivery feature on many OxyEdge chambers that supports consistent oxygen supply during a session.
