Maintenance Guidelines for Optimal Performance of Your Unit
This article outlines the maintenance requirements for the unit to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Soft Shell Chambers (e.g., Pro90, Standard36, etc.)
-
Filter Replacement: Every 200 hours for compressor and concentrator filters.
-
Surface Cleaning: Wipe chamber exterior and interior after each use with antibacterial, non-abrasive cloths. Avoid bleach or alcohol-based cleaners that can degrade TPU/PVC materials.
-
Zipper Care: Apply lubricant monthly to the curved zipper track to prevent resistance or wear.
-
Noise Troubleshooting: If airflow is loud, check that the silencer is fully connected.
-
Storage: Store in a dry, climate-controlled room. Avoid folding while damp.
Hard Shell Chambers (e.g., Elite, Ultra)
-
Air System Filters: Same 200-hour filter change intervals apply. May have more complex filtration—refer to model-specific documentation.
-
Interior Surfaces: Use medical-grade disinfectant wipes on the metal or acrylic interior between users.
-
Touch Panels / Electronics: Use microfiber cloths for control screens and hardwired electronics. Avoid moisture buildup near electronics.
-
Door Seals: Inspect silicone or rubber gaskets monthly for cracking or wear. Apply seal lubricant if included.
-
Cooling and Ventilation: Ensure vents around electronics and compressors are unobstructed.
-
Annual Professional Inspection (Recommended): Especially for clinical setups or units running at 2.0 ATA.
Consistent maintenance—especially cleaning after each use and timely filter replacement—is key to preserving the performance, safety, and lifespan of your hyperbaric chamber.
