Does Airvida use pure oxygen like hospital hyperbaric chambers?
No. Airvida chambers do not use 100% pure medical-grade oxygen the way hospital-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) systems do. Instead, Airvida chambers are designed for mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) and use one of two methods for oxygen delivery:
🌀 1. Room Air Compression (Baseline Use)
Airvida chambers compress normal atmospheric air inside the chamber to 1.3–1.5 ATA. Even without added oxygen, the increased pressure helps your body absorb more oxygen than you would at sea level.
🌬️ 2. Oxygen Concentrator (Optional Add-On)
When paired with an oxygen concentrator, Airvida chambers deliver 90–96% oxygen through a nasal cannula or mask. The concentrator filters nitrogen from room air, enriching the oxygen safely — no tanks, no refills, no medical license required.
🏥 What about hospital hyperbaric chambers?
-
Hospital chambers often operate at 2.0 ATA or higher
-
They use 100% medical oxygen tanks under strict supervision
-
Intended for FDA-approved medical conditions (e.g., burns, decompression sickness)
